fish in the mornings or evenings. Frogs are awesome at this time. Topwater anything really.

it's true. This could be great depending on management.

Central Cal is also good. Plenty of spots for largemouth and spotted bass. Watch Damon Tau on youtube.

the pot is good up there. LOL

Pyramid lake has the dry checks. Many have been turned away at the boat ramps, 2-3 drops found. So they drive down to the central valley and fish the lakes in the Bakersfield area.

I heard the north delta, or Sacramento area Delta has SMs. They stay up north. Youtube is a good place for research.

@Glenn THE boss will tell you. 🤣

It's sad. I would watch it here at work, in the background. If they refuse to show it on their website, like before, I will lose interest in it.

You can kayak the Castiac Lagoon. Stone Canyon is in the area, check before you go out there. Hollywood Reservoir is there too. You can try fishing in Marina Del Rey. Find a charter for some deep sea stuff.

I grew up in Central Washington and fished Potholes and surrounding lakes. You can fish all year in central Wa. It's a trip but there are places to fish all over the basin. If you see the candy cane water tank, you're in the right spot. LOL

it's interesting that the north and central bodies of water are not going through the same problem. Here in the Valley, we have full lakes, healthy population of fish and even brought back a lake, Tulare Lake. I wonder if this is only So-Cal lakes. Any issues up at Clear or the Delta?

Happy Birthday

I have a day off in Sept, on a Monday, to go up there. I hope it's not 111 degrees like it is this week.

That's a nice bass. River fishing is different.

There is a guy on youtube from Colorado. See your messages You have great Mexican food options in Denver.

109 this weekend, the Cal heat is here to stay until October.

thanks to all the info and links. This forum is awesome. And Ken, that's some great stuff. Thank you.

I have seen everything on Amazon, Ebay and Hobby Lobby. Sure the $200 gun is probably the best but, don't have that kind of money. What would you get for your first one? Kit with compressor or buy everything separate

Gulfcaptain, does Castaic or the Lagoon still produce big fish? would Castaic compete with Clear lake or the Delta?

how about a polyurethane?

how good is the Gorilla Glue 5 minute epoxy? I started making my own top water WTD lures

Army Corp is closing boat ramps due to this crazy weather.

Master my favorite lakes and rivers, explore new spots for fun. We are blessed to have so many spots to fish out here in the west, no money and time to fish them all.

army corp has closed many of the boat ramps in the area. only bank fishing, very limited areas.

How's everyone doing today? after the crazy floods this past weekend Lake Success utilized the spillway for the first time in years. homes along the Tule River were evacuated and whole streets who flooding in small towns.
