San Vicente Kayak Panfish May 19

Post by blackcloud9 »

My second trip to San V this year, and found the bluegill and redear biting pretty good in the late afternoon. Even some lowly bass.

Dropshotting half a crawler gets it done. All fish were released.

Well done! Not much activity at the launch ramp.

Consider time of day. I can get the bass to bite all day long but 5 pm can be a light-switch factor for these bluegill/redear.

Agree, Friday late afternoon was a ghost town at the ramp. Weekends of course are a whole different story.

Here is a shot of the busy launch ramp last Sunday at 1 pm, A WHILE BEFORE I LAUNCHED:

Those 10" bluegill and redears are the perfect size to harvest. They are large enough to filet, but not so large as to be taking a trophy out of the lake.
