I went to DVL this morning with my Father in Law, got there at 5:00 am, First car in line can you believe it!

It was about 39 degrees, and the gate opener sat in front of the gate for 10 minutes, to open exactly at 7:00 am, seriously he couldn't have opened it so we were paying at 7:00 am ?

We rented a toon and met FishTacosmmm and started out trolling, it was already sunny. Not even 5 minutes into the troll, Taco hooks up, 2 lb LMB....Good sign?

Well we trolled around and it was beginning to look like a slow day, a few hours later Taco hooks up again on the troll. Nice 5-6lb LMB....

Well, the sun was out in full force and the fish went deep. We spent the rest of the day Testing our new Plug. It was working great even on the troll.

Fishtacosmmm, how did you like the plug?

Dropped Taco off at around noon so he could sleep. And most of the rest of the day was spent testing the plug!

Great weather, fishing was very slow. We talked to alot of people at the marina and they said the same thing, one guy said they metered lots of fish but nothing would bite..... Full moon ? Too Sunny? DVL opens too late? Probably all three!

Pictures of the crew!

You mean you can still get boats into the BOWL at the Borrows area?

I figured it would be high and dry a long time ago!!!

Nice pics, but your report could use a lot more trout photos.

:Angry:

:Wink:

The bowl is still deep and so is the channel to get to it!

I know some people that found the high spots in that channel last year and they were about 17' deep. Did those fish come on the troll using the plugs that you and your father-in-law manufactured?

Yeah it's kind of funny about the gate getting opened.

Let me guess...He drove out the gate, down the road, turned the corner, then came back traveling at idle speed, waited for his buddy to come and allowed him to enter first, then opened the gate for everyone else.

Happens almost everytime...LOL.

Thanks for the report and glad you you beat the skunk.

Nice report, SoCalGuy7! It was good to have your father-in-law enjoyed fishing!

That is the most Large Mouth Bass are biting now in d.v.l. Hope the striper will be back in March 2009. My goal is to catch 36lb striper, lol.

Schooling 4lbrs on the surface can be the most fun day you can have on a lake. Reminds me of days of yore on Lake Mead!
