Concession closed. Used Iron ranger. Had a nice half day on the water today. Nice warm sunny Afternoon. Semi windless. Water 65. Fish on beds. Got some real nice top water action going. While leaving one of the Lake staff said that the lake may close on Saturday due to an algae bloom according to a ...

The wife got a couple extra days off this week so we headed up to Menifee, my little aluminum boat trailing us. Tuesday afternoon shift at Perris where I did pretty good in the spring a year ago. Found out it was too early still, the water only got up to 55°. 10° cooler than where I was fishing Otay ...

Good seeing you as we headed out.
Did better a couple of weeks ago actually. Stuck with the reaction bait and the report was the day before there was a lot more happening. I’ll take a few over not going at all huh? Water got up to 67° in the back.

For the second trip in a row @otaymichael was getting on the water as I was leaving. How'd you do Mike? How was the afternoon bite? Inquiring minds want to know.


Man, I was so impressed with your report I couldn’t wait to start. Went topwater (getting top for the last three weeks, but it’s not ...

Well done folks.

I'm not sure how or why I got this message in my email. I bought it in sort of a panic because I had to update my password at the last minute.. Does anybody know, please? It says they on will-call. I think that might refer to the boats only; I have a printable receipt for the float tube ticket ...

Thought I might see you as I got on the water for the third time. Mentioned it to my Backseater that I’ve run across you the last two times I launched as you left. Anyway, couldn’t get the jerk bait working, but the top water was just fine. It seems every other week it switches Frogs and Buzz baits ...

Sweeeeeet.

Nope. I caught 11 but I was out there 3 hours longer than those guys Michael. Now go back to your 6 pounder topwater fiesta and laugh at all us poor dink pirates lol.


Missed you on Wednesday! Not a dink fest, but no ...

Nice fish and nice report. Glad you got on ‘em again.

Well done.
