Thanks guys for all your help!

Yes WildBill, there are smallmouth in the lake. There is one dock that you are only allowed to fish 100 feet or more from. Thanks Bass_Akwards, I will try that.

I have a general question for all of you bass crazy people out there. I just moved to Northern California (from Southern California) and started to fish a lake that has a rocky and sandy bottom and not much cover for largemouths. It is late May now and I was wondering the best way to fish the lake and what tackle would be recommended? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards,

I live in Northern Cali now, but lived in Southern Cali for years. There is a man made lake called Laguna Lake about 1 hour north of San Diego (In the city of Laguna.) I've caught many 5 to 8 lb largemouth bass there. Someone caught a 14 pounder last summer out of that lake!

I voted other as well. Not being able to go is the thing that sticks out in my head.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Someone had asked where I am from originally. Central New Jersey, Jackson specifically. Thanks again everyone. I look forward to being a member here.

Glad to make everyones acquaintance. I am originally from back east where I was raised on largemouth bass fishing. Lived in Southern California for a spell and now have moved to Northern California. I am very close to Lake Oroville, which is supposed to be one of the best bass fishing lakes in California. I can't wait to go after some of those bucket mouths real soon! Seems like a real nice forum. Glad to be here. Take Care,
