Welcome to the world of fishing. I wish could help you out with Eldo. All I can say is that they're difficult lakes to learn to fish. I myself have fished those lakes for bass about four times and came up empty. The only thing I've caught out of those lakes were sunfish(cpr'ed). The only advice I can give you is get out there early, don't give up because there are nice ones(bass) in those lakes and focus on the lake with the paddle boats. I'm sure hammer4 on this site can give you some better tips about those lakes since he fishes them more than I. Tight lines.

no problem

I've never used a fishing guide service before, but if I were to use one in SD I would have to go with Conway Bowman of Bowman Bluewater Guides & Outfitters. This guy is a remarkable and well known flyfisher. Oh and did I mention he can put you on Makos with bass gear and on the fly? 8-) Here's the link to his site: http://www.bowmanbluewater.com/ I think he also offers guide services on SD's local freshwater lakes like Hodges, Dixon, Poway, etc... I hope this helps.

Maybe this video with help you out: Good luck out there.

I never hired a guide before, but I've read many great reports about these guides in socal. http://www.petemarinoguideservice.com/ http://artberryfishing.com/ http://www.vaillakeguideservice.com/ They mainly deal with socal lakes like Diamond Valley Lake (the jewel of Southern California ), Lake Perris, Skinner Lake, etc... which all hold nice size bass. I hope this helps.

Puddingstone is gonna by your goto lake if your gonna be residing in Pomona. But there are many other decent city park lake in the area too. But if you're looking only +10lb lmb's Diamond Valley Lake and some of the other lakes surrounding it would be your best bet. As for bass clubs, I don't have a clue.

Impressive catch on the DS. I myself this weekend took time and patience to learn the drop shot technique which also gave me great results, but not as great as your results. I'm gonna have to get this "sprinkler" tactic a try. Thanks for the shared tip.

I picked up a fineness binder last year and a love it. Takes up less room than those plastic divider boxes that I use to use before.

I just seen that BPS promo (purchase a revo, receive free shades) in their sales ad paper yesterday. You can't go wrong with free shades.

Two words: retaining strap.

I also fish shallow lakes (stained and clear) and occasionally deep lakes. I used to buy cheap pairs of sunglasses at Walmart but they always ended up breaking after a month of use, so last year I finally broke down and picked up a pair of Hoven Sunglasses (copper lens) for $65 at the local Sport Chalet and I haven't had the need to purchase another pair of sunglasses yet. (Had them for almost a year now). Plus these sunglasses allow me to sight fish easily in stained or clear, shallow or deep waters. Remember , cheap shades break easily, and quality shades usually come with warranties.

Fishing with "Hammer4" and drop shot fishing.

Socal Bluegills, shad, crawdads, trout, and dead bodies . Lame!!! ;D What's up mike.

I guess we must of missed him, Greg.

Beautiful catches Hawk. 8-) I wish there was a place to catch Peacock Bass on the west coast. :'(
