Decided to run back to Barona. The water is low in the lake but its at almost the same level as it was a couple of years ago and i was always able to find some deep fish to salvage the day. Not this time! I worked my way from 1-2' out to 60'. Same results as Toll Road. Saw some fish shallow and marked fish deep but no one wanted to play. I did see a guy in a rental catch about a 3lb fish on a DEAD shiner he threw out, but that was the only fish I saw caught.
I tried Slow rolling a spinnerbait deep, a jerkbait with the wind coming up, jig, 10" worm, shakey head, dropshot 6", 4", all the way down to my (usually) foolproof Fluttercraft. All baits that I have had good luck on this time of year with not even the hint of a strike. Oh well, I guess after the winter/spring I had there last year, I was due to get my butt kicked by the fish. It was one of those weird days where nothing felt right. From the time i hit the water until I called it a day, everything just felt "off".
Ill be back you little green bastards! I shall return!!
