As I explained if you dont want me to see your big bass picture from Eastman from either swim bait fishing or just lure fishing dont send the pictures. They wont get reported on.
The bass I just saw 5 of them from the same angler are very nice bass in the pictures that were sent to me and wow is all I can say.
Stay off the fishing groups on facebook.
If you dont want your pics to be seen.
I dont belong to any of them I dont have time for it.
The lake is holding at 73% lots of flats dropoffs
and isolate structure to fish. There four good areas that are holding bigger fish.

About 9 miles apart from each other Hensley 30 minutes from my house and Eastman 45 minutes away. I live in the Rancho's so it's a short drive to both as is Millerton lake 30 minutes also.

I fished both Hensley and Eastman in the same day several years ago. I believe Eastman had standing timber and that is where we caught most of the bass. Millerton was over run with small spots asI recall, but Pine Flat was good for LMB and Spots. Only fished the Valley lakes a few time usually traveling further north.
Does Eastman have FLMB now?

FLMB were introduce into the lake in 1980 by the DFG and the Madera bass club.

Nice to see people getting out fishing with daylight saving time you should see more boats on the water and increase in bank fishing. 20 to 30 boats a day on the weekend is not alot of traffic. By April they'll start hitting Don Pedro.

Pd no encouragement needed here its motivation and passion that's what drive me. Building baits for my customers Bowling in league and tournaments motivates me I take pride and being passionate in carrying a 200 plus average both in league and my tournament bowling at mt age. And my passion for bass fishing is very strong and giving everybody chance to catch fish with the reports i share. I dont cater to one group. If you think there to much traffic on a lake go fish a bigger lake its pretty simple.
I get to fish during the week so the wide and I dont see many boats. When we get the chance we try to fish 2 to 3 day a week. And my motivation for light line fishing for bass has never faded.
At 68 there no slowing down here. :D
Being retired 40 years now that's motivation in itself.
