First time at El Cap

[tomnilll]

Well I have to say that I really liked my first trip to El Cap! Probably the nicest day weather wise in a long time and sometimes that means...not great fishing. But that was not the case. I don't have a boat (actually I do have a canoe, but that doesn't count) so I decided to hire a guide, what a great move on my part. Bruce Smith of (Basoutdoors.com) was the nicest, most helpful, and successful guide I have encountered. He had us on fish all day from the cold morning to the windy midday to the hot afternoon and fish all day everywhere we went. I took a buddy along who did not know anything about fishing, had only gone a couple times in his life and he caught 7 nice bass. I lost count (of course I did), but pretty close to 20 is a good number.

Pretty good sample...

1st fish of the day

Biggest (probably) of the day.

Thanks again Bruce!

Nice job! What did you catch them on? Any busting fish?

[CorsoEnthusiast]

My favorite local body of water. Nice job!

Wow, looks like a great day on the Cap. Looks more like San V wind than Cap!

No Busters. Caught them on a bit of everything. Spinnerbaits, soft plastics, underspins...etc. I think I could have thrown anything...

It was definitely howling down there in the afternoon/evening yesterday. White caps when we pulled up to the lake about 345.

Saw fish in all 3 spawning stages yesterday. Pretty soon it’s gonna be time to throw topwater in the morning down there..
