Got to the dam this morning at 7:45am hoping to catch a cooler full of big skipjack so I could do a little catfishing at Sequoia tommorow. Needless to say I didn't do very well as I ended up with two big skippies and three small ones.
On a positive note there was a guy down there fishing on the walkway that was catching some very nice striped bass. He was free lining live gizzard shad in the 6-7in range. I sat and talked with him for about an hour before leaving. In that hour I watched him land about 4 stripes in the 4-6lb range and one smallmouth that had to be 3+lbs.
If anyone likes to fish the tailrace I'd get out there ASAP cause the live bait fishing is HOT!!!!
