Well for the last month I've had a feeling that my 2nd DD bass was gonna come to my line. Then the night before i had a very vivid dream of catching a DD Bass (yes i dream of them too lol).

So yesterday morning i got my gear together and headed off to the lake at about 9am.

Since it's been a little over a week or so since i took my tube out i was on a hunt and run mission. So i launched out of Paradise cove armed with a 7" oxblood roboworm drop shot, and 6" Green senko fly-lined(sorry can't recall the name but it was light green with black flake).

The weather was beautiful and the water is almost warm enough to go without waders but not just yet.

So within the first few minutes i get Slammed on the robo. Reel in a dink bass could of only been 2" bigger then the worm lol so no pic. I work around tree point and cast in towards the small boulder and again Bam! another dink grrrr (again no pic) I toss a few more casts and make my way to a hot spot from last time. As i make my way around the bend to the swim beach i get another dink. (no pic) So i get the beginning of the swim beach buoy line and cast out. First cast BAM another dink but this time a little bit bigger so i took a picture because i figured this was gonna be a good day seeing as i got 4 fish within a hour of getting to the lake.

I leave this area to go into the heavy weed growth in the north end.

As i get just past the swim beach i see some huge shadows in the shallow water. I kick in closer and see fish jumping and splashing everywhere!!!!!!!!! I'm think Holy Crap I'm gonna OWN!!!!!!!! As i get close enough i can see that they were all Giant Carp and Koi. I sat there for a about an hour or more just checking um out and seeing if they would hit my plastics or lures but only hooked a few but i think they were all snagged due to me only pulling back a huge scale each time lol. They were all well over 10 pounds with a few 20+ swimming around. Just crazy I'm gonna bring some corn next time or some tortillas and see if i can land some of these monster fish. I had to of seen at least 30 or more swimming right around my feet. So after i got bored with the carp and koi i moved into the spillway. I passed up Fireball, sorry i didn't say hi but i was on a mission for some bigger grade fish. I cast in that area with a senko (so far all bass were caught on the oxblood 7" roboworm) 3rd cast and BAM a senko fish!

I had got a call from Captain Castaic a little while before and he told me to hit the clearing in the main spillway. So i start making my way there and along the rocks i get Slammed on my senko and this fish had some shoulders and took me for a ride. When i got her to the tube she went just under 6 pounds.

Then i get to the spot C.C. told me about. I changed up to a baby Ika (black with red flake) and my first few cast i was getting bumped but the wind was bouncing me around so much i could not really get the feeling for a good hook set. After my 4th cast i got one that took it and ran. Reeled that one in little dink i ended up tossing it back with out a picture. Then 5th cast BAM another bass. Took a shot

Made a few more cast and noticed the time and i had to get back to the car soon or my boss (aka My Fiancee) was gonna get mad.

So as i'm kicking back through the mass of weeds in the north i passed at least 50 or more DD Carp and Koi some very colorful Koi. Saw one that was all white with red spots a few that were black with orange tiger stripes and many different colors and all huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge just chill'n in the weeds.

I get to the break in the swim beach buoy line and casted out and Bam Caught another dink. (no pic) It also ruined my last oxblood robo so i switched it to a 6" red crawler robo and BAM i get slammed haaaaaaaard!!!!!!!!! Fish makes some strong runs on me and pulling me around on my tube. HOLY SH*T!!!!!! Then it does something I've never seen a DD Bass do in all my years. It leaps completely out of the water, i let out a girlish scream of joy!!!!!!!!! Fought the bass for a good 5 minutes before it got tired and i was able to land it!!!!!!! Ended up going 10.2 on my digi scale I got my 2nd DD of the year.

I hate my huge head it makes DD bass look smaller then they really are, but trust me this bass was every bit of 10.2 she was fat and healthy and strong.

So now I'm content and start kicking back to the my car and hit that hot spot for a few cast and ended up landing 2 more bass

After that i got the call from the Boss asking me if we were still gonna have dinner tonight (uh oh i better hurry) So i frantically kick back to my car. Got home and made some Steak and mashed potatoes for the boss and relaxed lol.

What a great day on the water. Got Quantity (either 14 or 15 i can't recall) and Quality (6lbs and 10 lbs) fish plus saw tons of huge fish.

I love this Lagoon <3
