Woke up at 430am. Me and my brother were out the door at 5:15am. Made the drive from Carson and arrived at the lake at 6:40am.
First time at this lake and the plan was to try and get some gills. From what I read on here, most of the bigger size gills are in deeper areas near the damn. That was out of the question. I also heard I may be able to hike to get them but that too was out of the question. Wasn't willing to hike just to find some gills and I don't have a boat nor was I willing to rent one. Saved all my money for a Vegas trip this weekend. Doing it big and planning to spend a ton of money at the Bass Pro Shops. LOL
Anyways, I decided to keep it simple, pay the 3 bucks and fish the Marina dock. From 7-1:30 me and bro managed about 30 bluegill. kept 4 good sized ones and 4 ok sized ones. Kept the rigging simple. 4 lb test, Size 4 mosquito hook and a split shot. Used cut night crawlers and wax worms. Fished the end of the dock near the rental office, where it was deeper. just dropped the bait to the bottom and waited for them to bite. Other than that it was pretty slow. Some guys around us caught some good sized ones and another managed to catch 2 good sized crappie on jigs.
