me and my buddy go t to the lake around 7am. we went and got our parking pass the ranger said she thought there was a bass tournament going on that day... we were like sweet. we headed to the boat launch ramp till 8am threw a few robo worms no luck... then my buddies like lets go do the hike... lol. i knew that meant walk the dam. it was cold and a bit breezy but not as bas a slast week. so we made the hike. the lake was filled with bass boats pretty far out so we fig they must be deep... was gonna try a spot that was recommended but the pressure there throughout the day was high from the tourney and all... no big deal next time :)
it really looked like it was tough alot of people even on boats were no having any luck at least the ones we asked. my buddy was fishing texas style worm with no luck at all so was the other guy we met we were fishing next too. i was throwing robo worms - aarons magic - crawdad - margarita mutliater on a drop shot as usual... fished for an hr no love trying different colors etc....
an hr later bam got hit.... was a lil guy under a pound but fought pretty good and now the skunk was off my back :)
now it's time to catch the big one so i thought... i caught it on the purple margarita robo worm so i left it on there but he tore it up pretty good so i cut some of the worm off so it's now like a 3" and that really was the key the rest of the day as for me and the area we were fishing....
20min later i tell my buddy im getting a bite look at the rod tip and bam bent it good so im reeling drag is going and he dives deep. and wraps me around a rock must have hooked the side of his mouth cause i gave him slack as 2 try to get away from the rock and he got off :(
around 2pm is when i got the last fish.... on same setup drop shotting he was also under a pound but fought great :) it sure would have been nice to catch a 2lber plus but considering the conditions and how new i am to bass fishing 2weeks in 2 dinks are not that bad :) all in all was a fun day. not to breezy and not to cold if dressed right lol. think next time i might try my float tube so i can drop shot like 20ft from the dam and work the whole zone :)
sorry for the late report but my grandpas in the hospital and it don't look to good was good to actually post this and get my mind of him..... thanks guys for all the tips on perris i can't wait till march gets here :) but for now im just practicing and getting some time in the water :)
tight lines..
