My favorite Lake is getting over the water fluctuating blues. Had a good day.

There are Pumpkinseed in Lake Hemet and Big Bear Lake. They do well in higher elevations

CDFW is also trying to establish a unique Sacramento Perch population in Lindo Lake following the complete draining of the East Basin and soon to be drained and rehabilitated West Basin. It is critical that ALL ...

Very nice Larry,
Thx for the great report.

Thanks for sharing Larry. I think this is the last weekend before they close.

Went ultralight fishing again at Otay. Caught a dozen or so small bass, but the highlight was seven large bluegill, all in the 2 to 2.5 pound range. Fish tacos here I come.

Very nice it sounds like you had tons of fun out there, THANK YOU for the report and sure you'll enjoy those tacos! I'm glad most people would rather fish for bass. I found schools of gills from my kayak in 20' off the main lake flats at El Cap on Saturday. Not big ones but fun size on light gear ...

I fished Murray yesterday for Bass and it was a slog. Five hours to drum up a few dinks. I had so much fun at Otay last weekend I decided to go back to Murray today with ultralight gear and hooked up with a mess of really nice fat Bluegills.

I am really getting hooked on ultralight fishing.

The Crappie Mecca!

Wish it was me...

Since I have nothing to report on the subject thought I'd share this really cool video of "Fishing Addict" out killing the 2 pound slabs. I watch a lot of his videos and he has that lake and live scope dialed in. He didn't have his scale. A few might had ...

It's still a far cry from having big bass boats zooming around at high speed.

Just talked to my friend she runs the concessions at Hodges. Below I have listed rental boat fleet as of today.

Motor Boats = 13
Row Boats = 2
Pontoon Boats =2

Hopefully some one can provide some intel regarding today's crappie bite. Thinking about going this Saturday.

Thanks

Hey man I was out there on Wednesday and there were lots of people getting the crappie. Get out there for sure!

Thanks, Nice Halibut. I am one-for-one on Halibut surf trips and don't want to mess up my streak. Actually, I know it was just luck. Nice fish there. Thank you for the bluegill tips. I had no idea you were catching them where and how you described; good work!

Niiiice

Sent you a message

Hmmmm. Thanks new project

There used to be a meter that had 2 transducers. One look down and one looked forward. It was portable, Hummingbird I think.

Larry,
I'm glad you had a great outing, thank you for sharing.

Nice Slabs!

Nice outing!

It sounds like you had a great time kayaking on Murray Lake! The bass activity must have been exciting, especially with the variety of techniques you used. Switching to a bluegill rig for those smaller fish seems like a smart move, and using your UL trout gear must have made for some thrilling ...
