Flat out wide open! That is the best way I can discribe it. The bass at this Southern California lake are up and in! Here is how it happened. The bass showed up on spawning beds on the February moon. I began to see bass bedding in February, on the 27th of the month, in 57 degree water! As we were approaching the next full moon, which is at the end of this month, it got super hot, and the bass flooded the bank. There are fish up on the bank spawning from one end of the lake to the other. The water is super clear. You can see a good 6-8 feet deep in most places. There is no need to cast. You can make small underhand pitches to these visual bass. Just fish slow and bring a pair of Oakley polirized glassess. I am spotting the bass for my clients and we are moving the boat slow and easy as we look for these bass. The best bait has been a Canyon Lures "Fat Gitzit in a white color. The weather has been fantastic. There has been no sign of any live shad to scoop, but then again, ya really don't need it. The lake opens at 6:30 am. The Marina Cafe opens for breakfast at 7am. The lake has come up about 7 vertical feet from all the winter storms and is still rising as we speak. The water from the surrounding mountains is still running into the lake via the Santa Ana creek. I have been super busy. Please,,,if you feel like you want to go bass fishing with me this spring, give me a call. I do not take deposits.
