3-29-11 pond fishing

Yesterday I left at 6 in the morning and didnt get home till 5 in the afternoon. Had an awesome day out on a couple of my favorite ponds. In the first pond I launched my boat and used buzzbaits, chatterbaits, and senkos. For most of the day I fished in that pond I think I caught 22 bass all between 1.5 and 3.0 pounds. Then I decided to tie my boat up and walk to another pond. When i got to the other pond to my surprise it was flooded about 5 feet over full pool. I ended up catching 12 in that pond all around 2 pounds but I did catch two that were pushing 4 pounds! So all together ths was a great day on the water.

Ten mile 3-27-11

This past weekend my Dad and I caught 15.8 pounds of largemouth out of one of our popular coastal lakes. We had a tournament and the weight behind us was 8 and a half pounds. We caught our fish on jigs, punch rigs, and senkos. The 15.8 pounds only consisted of 4 bass our biggest was just under five pounds and and we had one other over four pounds. Great job Dad! Cast and destroy!

3-20-11 night fishing

My friend Kevin and I went out to my friends lake and went night fishing we caught a total of 29 fish and lost about 5 others. Our five biggest went about 16.4 pounds and all of the fish in the limit other then two came on black and blue chatterbaits. The other two fish came on, a senko wacky rigged, and a 3" crazy leg chigger craw texas rigged.

Shasta, Spotted bass?? not this time

There are supposed to be Spots in Shasta and every time i have fished it i have caught them really good. This includes two tournament wins and other good finishes. This trip which started 1-15-11 and went to the 16th was the worst trip i have ever had down there. I fished about 14 hours in the two days and i managed to get 3 bites and all of them were short strikes that just grabbed the back of my worm. My Dad was fishing with me and he only managed 3 bites also and his were the same just short strikes. Our only excitement of the trip was seeing a spot follow up my dad's dropshot rig. Dang i don't know what the deal is but that lake is tough!! Hopefully it gets better soon, thats really all i have to say about shasta right now...
