Canyon 8/15
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2025 5:39 pm
Another Trip to Canyon Lake. I have been fishing Newport Harbor quite a bit. Easy and close to home. Still I miss the Topwater Bite enough to again, get up at 3:30 am, on the Jump Lagoon by 5:30 am, first Bass, minutes later. All in all a better Topwater trip this time. I had 7 landed by the time the gloom gave way to bright, hot, Sunny skies, all on a 5 inch ZMan Streak mounted to a 4/0 regular wire Spearpoint hook. Those hooks really work great, I only missed two explosive strikes out of 9 blowups. With the Sun, I added a 1/8 ounce Jighead to my Mud Minnow ZMan Streakz and got 5 more Bass out of 8-12 feet of water. All on one bait, which is ready for another trip, packed away in its ziplock bag.
