Well I feel blessed at the moment to live in sunny S. Cal. where we have had a very warm winter.  Fishing has been great the past few weeks with many days of 10+ fish to be had from shallow cranks, jigs, spinnerbaits, worms, swimbaits, and now I can even add topwater.  Various places I fish are all in different stages, some post spawn, some just moving up to spawn, others guarding fry, and some areas still in prespawn.  The fun part is figuring out what the fish are doing each day as well as trying new things to see if they react.  This morning, overcast skies made me decide to fish a local park and happened to decide to throw the topwater and ended up with 3 out of 4 blow ups.  Not bad for a couple hrs.  Biggest fish was just under 4lbs which isn't bad, missed another that sucked down the bait and I thought I missed it until I went to twitch it again and she had it in her mouth which didn't last long.  But still, topwater fishing this early in the year where I'm a is great.  Now waiting for the weeds to grow in and hopefully be frogging by May.  

what lake do you normally fish?

what lake do you normally fish?

Almost all of the highly pressured LA/OC area city park fish since my fishing time is restricted between the hrs of 8-3 Monday through Friday when my son is in school.  Area lakes are too far for me to travel in such short time.

Well good job Ive heard its tough to fish those lakes

 

 

Here are two of nice fish I happened to get today on the topwater. 

Good going!

Spook ?
