Report :

Hit the lake's Gate @ 5:50 am , of Course they did not let anyone in till right @ 6am , was the 5th car in line .  Soon As I got in I went Right to lots 11-12 (East End) , was just myself and one other Car . I Backpacked my self down to the water only to notice that the water level had dropped another 4 - 5 ft Just From Sunday    . I knew right away that my plan of attack for the day was going to change , Because spots I Was fishing on Easter where High and Dry.

The second thing I noticed was the guy who was the only other person down there was hollering in Spanish , about huge fish and I noticed that the Carp where rolling all over the place 1ft off the bank  (Guess its there time for some loving) I Smiled @ the guy as he casted his plastic over and over @ them .

I left the launching area and headed to a spot I knew that had some sunken trees and they where shallow about 4ft deep and I casted the spook as I Walked the dog  Across the Water a nice 2.5 Perris LMB destroyed the bait coming off the bank     That was my only Topwater bite for the day as the clouds broke quickly.  Started Slow Drifting the tube Jig and I found the Panfish Willing to play Caught 3 Redear 1 right after the other all about 10-11" I love those little Drag Pullers . then the Bite went dead .. HMMMMMMM

Well the Rest of The day I drifted the Tube Jig and threw the Square Bill and I can Honestly say that the Crank Bite is off the Hook , I could See the bass in the Water after The Crank and   just totally killing it as it approached the tube , I saw almost all of the bites  , Man I love that Reaction Bite    My Day ended shortly after  and my 2 Biggest Fish where a nice 3.5 LMB and a 11" Male Bluegill .. SAY WHAT , that sucker was Huge   

Anyhow a Picture for you ,  Enjoy   .... WES  ... OH BTW LETS GO GIANTS !!!!

Good job as always my friend...I've been loving the bite lately... the buzzbait bite is fabulous and sooo much fun... I need to do the spook thing.. don't forget the jerkbait bite either

Great report Wes and thanks for the report.

Nice report as usual Wes. Thanks man. Don't you just love the power of those big BGs?! And for whatever reason, those REs can really pull drag! I can almost always tell right away that I've hooked a RE by the way they take off and make the reel's drag sing! If you don't have your drag set lightly, they will pop 2 lb test right now! Maybe even 4 lb!

Thanks Guys , I will be back out on the water Sunday , Going to give Bernasconi a shot again , I had success there earlier in the year with bass , Just hoping to avoid some of the traffic that will be flooding the east end .

The bite has been very good there and a lot of big LMB are being caught over there. Seen one caught yesterday he said it was over 10lbs in about 7ft of water on a gold crappie crank bait . I dont know as he said his scale topped out @ 10lbs. The guy was trolling them from his pontoon with the trolling motor and hooked a big one on the ultra light gear.. She was fat has a pig still , did not look like she had spawned yet.. I can say she looked big enough to be a DD

WES
