Got two on topwater(LC Sammy) at around 8PM. First one missed it with the initial blowup but came back for it after a few feet. The second was about two casts after and just slurped it. Both in the 2 1/2 to 3 pound range.
Water level is almost back to where it was in February and warm.
cool thanks for the update i been dying to get some topwater actions
I've been wanting to go check it out. What area are you fishing?
Thanks for the update.
My LTB(Lucky Tackle Box) for May came in with some nice frog lure and some frog plastics. Does The Pudd have any areas where these might be useful? It's pretty difficult to find places in SoCal where frogs would be useful.
East shore. Been pretty good there lately in the evening.Quote:

I currently only have an orange W/ red/green that's a lure and a set of purple plastics. If that doesn't work, I'll probably go with a T-Rig on a pearl fluke or Senko. I'm supposed to go out Sunday so this may be my destination.Quote:

They don't charge you to get in? Thundercracker seems to get there really late. Any of you guys want to do a few hours early or late and try the topwater bite?
I have caught them on frogs at Puddingstone but its usually a little later in the year when the grass grows to the surface. I used a Live Target hollow body field mouse to get a few on top last year. Check the fishing blog at www.bassinthehood.com

Parking is $10 per vehicle during spring and summer doing the winter months they only charge on weekends. Check Bonelli Park website for details.
I have the annual pass. Haven't tried topwater in the morning this year, but done pretty decent with plastics. Had a nice blowup with light out yesterday around 7PM. Friend caught one in the same area right before sundown on topwater.Quote:

Hey guys I'm here camping. Any quick advice for me. I only have dropshot, ikas and senkos. Where do I fish?
Good luck out there, I was there last week and grass was all over the lake. 15 yards and further in some areas.Quote:
