Disappointing Berryessa - 2/19

Besides the beautiful snow on the top of the mountains surrounding the lake (and getting to the lake!) the catching was not so good for team Geemoto. We stuck to our plan to stay in the narrows and managed 4 fish for 7.17 lbs and 40th place out of 70 boats. This was better than last year but not the way we expected after catching some good fish in practice.
We missed a few hits but generally just did not get on the fish. Lots of suspended fish of which we picked up a couple but couldn’t get the 5 that would have bumped us up in the standings quite a bit.
There were a couple highlights for the day though. One, a team I had convinced to fish who did not do any prefishing and had never fished as a team together ended up in 13th place with 11.13 lbs! Sweet! Another friend did a bit better with close to 12 lbs and 10th place. Very cool. I also did get our largest fish on a jerkbait which always makes my day.
That’s it for now.
