Report 4/20-4/22

Spent the last few days between Big Creek and Pt. 22 and had pretty good lucky chasing bass. Overall, landed about 50 fish, but keepers were limited (maybe 8 the entire weekend). I was able to find a decent topwater bite from 6-7:30am on Super Spooks and LC Wake Baits. Then, went with a 1/8-3/16 oz shakey head with a Zoom Shakey Worm (Green Weenie or Watermelon Red). Smacked a nice 4lber on the worm on Saturday.

When the wind came up, put my head down and through the blade until my arm fell off. NOTE: if you have a light boat like mine, buy a drift sock and it will slow you down big time. Back to the story! I threw it at every piece of cover in 1-6 feet of water. I caught pretty good numbers, but again not many keepers.

Overall, it was a great trip. I only saw one bedding fish, and he ran away, but I was not interested except watching. The water color went from fairly clear to tan near the Kings River.

Thanks Dave I'm up there tomorrow and will put this info to good use. Any particular area better for the topwater morning nip? Sounds like the head is the ticket for fish. Need to figure something out for the biggins. Again Thanks for the report

Hey Bill, thanks for the rod, Dave brought them back to KC Monday and says they are great. Still haven't seen mine yet, but should go out Sunday with Dave on a local lake and we'll make the exchange. Can't wait to put it in action.

Bill,

I had my better bites on the shakey head near smaller docks and/or larger chunk rock. Topwater was better in the smaller cuts and near the docks too. I did not catch too many fish just throwing parallel to the bank. I was looking for activity then throwing a long cast. Some fair fish and many little tikes.
