| New Water Breads New Oppurtunity! Basscapade 2012 |
This year’s Basscapade event was held from May 4 to May 8, 2012, at Lake Shasta. This is the 9th year that 7 Castro Valley businessmen have met to participate in a Trout Derby and Bass Fishing Tournament. The Shasta Seven included Randy Branaugh, Scott Clare, Dwight Roberts, Guy Warren, Dwight’s sons, Duran and Dustin Roberts and friend Dalton Jiminez. All seasoned Basscapade attendees with exception of Duran the newly appointed Greenhorn! This year, for the first time, a second generation boat was brought by expert sportsman Dalton Jiminez. As expected a friendly competition ensued between the two boat captains and their crews. On the Dept. of Fish Research boat Captain Scott C. carefully selected his two running mates, Guy and Randy, forming the “OGG’s” (Old Guy Group). On the second boat first time captain Dalton, conjoined old knowledge with the stamina of youth by acquiring Dwight, Dustin and Duran, forming “The 4 D’s” After settling in to their Jones Valley Houseboat “TheTraveler” (55’ long and 18’ wide). Scott and Randy commented that the younger guys were handling things quite well, and observed how Dustin and Dalton were driving and navigating the house boat to where they would drop anchor on their first stop. Guy, Scott and Dwight found it to be “time for a nap.” The OGG group left at 6:00 a.m. with high hopes the first catch of the day would be a winner. The 4 D’s stayed in bed until 7:15, with the younger ones feeling the affect of “party time” the night before. They were able to be ready by 8:00 to start fishing. Very impressive that even with a slow start the day ended with the 4 D’s able to show their fishing skills with Duran catching the biggest trout, 2.5 pounds, Dustin, the biggest bass, 3 pounds 14 ounces, and Dalton the most fish, 32 total. No time for cheering with the OGG group who got zero fish but were able to report they enjoyed a nice boat ride around the lake. They did catch a couple fish the next day and on the last day the 4 D’s shared their “lucky” fishing poles with the OGG group but they weren’t able to come close to what the 4 D’s caught on the first day. The weather was just as ordered, 30 degrees in the morning and warming to 70 degrees each day. It was truly another memorable Basscapade event for the records. |
