Kings River 3-8

[Hammer time]

Started at 9am hitting swings and transition banks with wart and hot n tot, lots of action mostly spots banging the bottom. I use 8 lb test to get the bait deeper and spinning reel on7'6" medium action rod. Phantom red wart and red craw hot n tot. Caught 14 with 2 keeps both on hot n tot. Fished up to deer bluff. Changed to 3/4 oz fb jig on flats next to channel and caught 4 2 keeper blacks and two short spots. Then the rain came big time, took shelter in a slip and waited out storm for over hour then loaded up. Water temp 48.9-54.6

Tight lines and CPR

Hammer, thanks for the report. Nice water color in that picture. Hot n tot is a lure you don't hear mych about. An oldie but a goodie.

Neat. Herringbone yellow hot n tot was the first crankbait I ever caught a bass on.

Hammer time I'm  sure I saw you or passed you this morning. I was in the silver flake triton.

I have heard Deer Bluff referenced for years but don't know where it is.  Don't see it on the map.

I'm surprised more guys don't throw hot n tots in craw colors just like wiggle warts.  Seems like something fish don't see a lot of.   Nice report!

Up the river from sweet water lake makes a big right turn bluff on the right has a white statue of a deer up high on bluff made of rock.

As soon as you make the bend past the ski course on the right above Sweet Water, you will pass a group of houses and I believe a couple of docks on your right.  It is that bluff bank on the right.  Used to have a concrete deer stature on it.

Between Hammer and Bigmo, I'm going to open a restaurant at Royal Point right on the beach.  I'm sure I will make a million.  You all are just hammering them no pun intended up there.

Too late Bill they're building a floating restaurant to go in at Kings river marina as we speak. Carmelinas Italian bistro. Suppose to open in 2 months.

They need a window that you can boat up to, order a burger and fries, and get back to fishing.
