Got on the water a little after 5:00 am and landed 6 really nice topwater fish within the first 45 minutes. At that point I was thinking WhooHoo! Otay all over again. Then the sun came up and the bite turned off like someone flipped a proverbial switch.
I proceeded to basically circumnavigate the lake and threw everything in my tackle box at them. Then I threw the tackle box itself, my hat, my underwear, and all I could manage was a handful of 8 inch dinks (probably on the jockey shorts).
Anyway, the water is now a third of the way up the ramp. It's high enough to easily launch float tubes and kayaks, but boats will need a few more feet before they can get out.
Now to watch the Olympics!
Tight lines all!

Re: Aaaaaand... MURRAY 7/26
Nice job out there on your return to Murray. It must’ve been pretty exciting at the beginning, thinking it’s gonna be like Otay. Hopefully the fishing will pick up as the water raises higher. I was looking at the boat ramp the other day and again it’s still not high enough to launch a boat, but I guess that’s the advantage of having a nice float tube like you have or anyone with a Kayak. Anyway, thanks for the report, hope to see you out there soon and the fishing picks up for some great top water action.

Re: Aaaaaand... MURRAY 7/26
Thanks for the ramp update. Murray is my second home lake (after Otay) and I've been missing it as a Friday option, although that has got me out to a couple of other lakes this summer.
