[cool]Great Report, Taipan. I'm assuming you are still in Fresno area, and that you are on someone else's computer. At least you didn't log in. But, since you introduced yourself, we know who you are.
Ain't it amazing how the locals sometimes get locked into their own set ways and cannot open their minds to the possibility of catching fish with a different method? I couldn't count the number of times I have been taken out by a local when I was either new to an area or just visiting. After fishing the way the "expert" shows me, I go to what I think will work better and often I end up giving the other guy the fishing lesson.
Really glad you had a good outing with the daughter...and glad you found a lake with some fish and some available boats. Of course, when it's hot, all the smart people stay where it's cool. But, whoever said us fishermen were smart?
As I recall, there are also some decent bass in Shaver. Did you get a chance to play with any of them?
