Central Valley Kayak Fishing held its last event for the year at Lake Isabella. Only 8 anglers showed up for this event and four limits hit the scales. Angel Sanchez smashed a victory with a few different techniques that included 10XD crankbait, flutter spoon, A-rig, and a shaky head to catch his fish.
“I found a ditch that had rip rap lined along the drop off during practice.” described Sanchez, “I used the 10XD to catch a small limit of 12 to 13” fish.”
“The A-rig caught a few fish in the ditch but they were small too.” reported Sanchez, “I decided to move across the lake and try this other area where I had found a school of fish.”

“I noticed the water had dropped 5 feet in two weeks so I headed towards the boat ramp.” revealed Sanchez, “There I used a shaky head to catch my better fish.”
“I was way in the back of a creek that had off shore rock along the creek channel.” expressed Sanchez, “The key was to shake the worm down the break of the channel.”
“I was using a stick style worm made by my buddy Bass Smacking Lure.” detailed Sanchez, “The shaky head accounted for my bigger limit.”

“I caught the big fish of the tournament in the last 10 minutes of the tournament.” said Sanchez, “I casted to a big boulder and let my Bass Smacking Lure drop next to the rock and the bass ate it and ran off. This one fish not only gave me the big fish of the tournament but also helped me win the event.”
Sanchez thanked his buddy Bass Smacking Lure for the amazing worms that helped me win the event and Donovan Van Der Paardt for hosting this great event.

“My first stop was the road bed that had rip rap along the drop.” reported Lopez, “I was unable to get a bite so I moved to a channel break that had rock too.”
“After a while, I decided to move back to where I started and was able to catch fish on the darter head Robo worm. I culled several fish on that one spot.”
