My coaches and i decided to hit up dvl for some bass saturday. We got on the water about 7:20 am due to a long boat inspection hold up and headed to Rawson cove to start the day. My coaches are not the bass fisherman so i was kinda teaching them as we went. I gave them a drop shot rig and let them beat the bank. It was a very low pressure morning with thick low fog and 15+ winds. After trying Rawson for a bit we headed to the small calm cove directly to the left of Rawson cove and we spotted some smaller males sitting on beds but they were not holding. Then we backed out to deeper water and fan cast all over the cove and finally one of my coaches got one on a drop shot. After that the wind died down a bit and i decided to head to the back of Rawson. There we saw some more males on beds but they were not locked on the their nests. So we fan cast the area for nada. Then we jumped to the other side of the cove and i finally caught one on a drop shot.....not on a bed. then i was thinking to my self "what is up with the fish?" then one of my coaches (who hasn't caught anything) says im hungry. then i get to thinking what he has in his lunch....then it clicks. I then reluctantly ask him if he brought a banana for his lunch and of course he answers YES!!!!! I immediately tell him to get it of the boat in a semi scream tone. But he thinks im joking and just tells me to chill out and after all he is my coach and im not about to get in a fight with him.
Then 45 minutes pass and he finally eats the banana. We then head over to the rock quarry to be disappointed with no fish....i thought the large flat was still there but i did not take in perspective of the fullness of the lake. By this time it was noon and my coach (the one that brought a banana) had to leave. So we dropped him off and we headed to the south side of the lake next to the eucalyptus tree fishing secondary points. My first cast i get a fish and then a few minutes later i get another one and then i miss one by the trees and by this time my other coach is just chillin in the back of the boat. the low fog had moved on and the sun had poked out a bit so i decided to head back to Rawson for some sight fishing. we went to the back of a cove in rawson and saw some fish on beds. I got 3 more fan casting catching cruising males and a nice 4lb female on a bed came unbuttoned at the boat but my coach caught a fish on a bed after taunting him for a good 10 minutes. All and all it was a fun day with my coaches and look forward to fishing dvl again.
