The boys had a blast from the last trip, and wanted to go again. Left the house at 4:00am and arrived shortly after 6:00am. Lines were in the water by 6:30am. It was a long day and I'm tired, so I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

We were the first ones there.

It's nice to see the "Sea" coming back. Hopefully the Corvina and the Sargo will make a showing also.
But is it safe to eat the fish? I remember long awhile back there where some fisherfok that had 55gal barrels filled with Tilapia and get this....they where going to sell it @ their Market! :EyePop: Oh BTW your gear is toooo nice to use there! Make sure you wash your rods/reels and spray with Salt-X and throw the used line away! :ROFL:

How was the weather like? Nice tilapia too WTG, but the little suckas will taste very fishy.
Nice pics. Thanks for the report.. I wonder what this lake would be like today if it always thrived...

Just like bluegill fishing, non stop action.

Yep, the water is extra salty . I made sure to wash my equipment after the trip. Thanks for the heads up.

The weather was really nice. Low 80's with a nice breeze.

I can only image, we used to slay the corvina all day long.

It was nice to fish it again.

Thanks, no I didn't see anyone fishing the corvina. I think they're no longer in there, the water just got to salty for them.

Was there on Thursday, 3/19. Weather go a lot warm and the bite had died down somewhat, meaning that it wasn't WFO. Stayed the whole day, like you said, the bite was better from the noon on. I could have stayed in bed a little longer.
