    Haha...If anything we can do a night trip on a full moon during the summer. Caught a lot of nice ones along the dam at night...

    i have fished there many times over the years. some days bass on every 3-5 casts. (mostly dinks) then some days couldn't buy a bite. my go to spot was always at the bridge pylons and surrounding rocks on plastics. i was there late last summer and was shocked at the water level. it looked like the pond behind truxton lake. so if you were able to fish around the bridge the water has rose like 100ft (just a guess) any way a huge fluctuation no wounder the bite is slow. thanks for the report Dalean.

    I have had some of my best LMB action since moving to Ca. in Success but I have also met the skunk there a few times. I like fishing top water in the tree areas. I have not tried my floatube there but with it I should be able to slay. The rumor I heard is that they were going to drain the lake this summer but I have been told that they are now allowing the water to come up and they are going to postpone the draining until Isabella dam is fixed. Has anyone got more information on this?

    Success is a solid lake, just inconsistent. I have a good friend in Bakersfield who fishes it and Isabella mostly. Its got a better fish average weight and size than most lakes. This year a tourney team had 35lb. limit for five fish in one of the big tournies up there. That's a 7lb average. One of the best lakes in Clai when the bite is on.
