finally got to feeling better and got out for a bit tonight.  went fishing with my old buddy gary harlan.  he is spending the summer here instead of falcon.  too much stuff going on down there on the border.  the dems need to talk to someone that actually lives down there and they will straighten them out pretty quick on how bad things really.

now back to the news.  we kind of did a bit of showing out tonight.  plus 12 keeps and a host of those good ones.  a 3/8 GrassJig got most of them, but got a couple on a beaver type bait on a 1/4 Pro Series head, and one on a tube, also on a 1/4 Pro Series head.  the one bigger one that was caught on the bank came on the tube.  all the rest were in the 10 to 15 ft. range  more on the main channel and not back in pockets.  only one of these bass seemed to have spawned.  the rest were as slick and fat as could be.  the pic on the two were caught at the same time.  mine was on the tube on the bank and the other one more in the 10 to 12 ft. range.

with the water fluctuating as it has been, there may be some bass spawning next month just as there were last year.

Fantastic fish

Great job! Night fishing still works! Back in the 70's that is all we did. Brown/ orange jig with a Uncle Josh pork frog was the ticket.

So there are fish over a pound in the lake. Night time is the right time

yes, but it helps to get off the bank and slow down and fish deeper .

Do any of the guides down there go out at night anymore?

I would love to share a boat with you any day or night of the week! Those fish are awesome. How big was your biggest?

Nice fish...Gary Harlan is a good guy...he used to belong to Loma Linda back in the early nineties.  Glad to see he is still fishing.
