Today was my first visit since March. I have been striper fishing in the bay and delta using lures and a baitcaster.

At the creek it was a nice outing although I was very rusty. Took me awhile to get back into the groove as I was snagging and loosing gear here and there. Finally hooked one with a pheasant tail and stuck to that nymph. But I was perched on a rock and almost lost my balance. As I regained my balance, the fish came off. Headed to another spot. As my line finished its swing I retrieved it slowly as I was distracted upstream. Then I realized I had a fish on during this retrieve. 12". Felt good to be back.
