Otay 5/18

Had a 20 fish day or so Otay. Of course half of them were probably a pound each, but still fun. Caught 3 early on topwater walking baits, then a few on a small crankbait (including a slab Bluegill). Switched to a jig and caught a few more, then went on a tear with over 10 falling prey to a jerkbait. Ended the day with a few dropshot fatties.

I didn't even try to find a pattern, just had fun pitching different baits. The jig and dropshot bass were the biggest on the day and accounted for the only fish over 3 lbs.

The lake level is very low. There are only a few spots with any tules even touching the edge of the water.

It was good to see @CorsoEnthusiast who arrived just as I was getting ready to leave. Fun times!

Nice to see you out there as always Dan! I ended up with 8 catches, was a weird day, I lost 5 in a row before I landed one. I burned through a pack and a half of plastics and a full pack of EWG hooks in 6 hours of fishing.

Best of the day went for 3.26
