Sprint21fter Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Fished Three days earlier in the week when temperatures was in the 70's and 80's. Found the lakewide wart bite up Kings river on 45 degree banks and transitions off of bluffs. Monday and Tuesday produced over 40 fish each day with several keepers and a couple of big fish. One fish was 21 1/2 inches and the other was 19 1/2. Didn't have a scale but the bigger one was pushing 6lbs and the other one was an easy 4. Left the areas totally alone since I was going to fish the KVD tourney later in the week. Knew that the cold front would have an effect on the fish but I was wrong. Saturday in and out of the monsoons and hail storms me and my wife caught over 50 fish with 12 keepers but nothing was bigger than 15 1/2 the other keepers were just over 15. Fun day but was wanting the big bite it never happened. Decided to fish Campbell Point Sunday morning looking for that big bite and nothing wanted a jerkbait or jig on timbered bluffends and mainlake points. After three cold hours decide to pull up on the trailer and head to the Kings again and once we got to our fishing spot instantly started catching fish. Ended up with 20 fish and 7 keepers with all of the keepers never exceeding 15 1/2 inches. Never had big bite but had an unbelieveable weekend despite the conditions. Sure wished those big ones would have given me another chance but all you can do is try. Have to give my wife credit for grinding it out on the water in those conditions and more importantly putting up with me all weekend.

Donna G Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 It always seems warmer when you're catching 'em. At least it works for me.

Sprint21fter Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 It always seems warmer when you're catching 'em. At least it works for me. It at least makes you feel better when your catching somthing instead of floating around the lake for 8 hours.
