    Water Temp: 51

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Started out late this morrning and managed to get on the water about 1:00. Little rain started when we got there and it continued throughout the day. Water was calm and we fished the dam starting at the generator. Drop shotting 4" fatsack worms and spooning fish up off of the bottom. A tail spin produced a good fish, but the rest were dinks.
    City: Tehachapi

    Tips: Fish 30+ feet at the dam and fish slow! Some spots are showing fish in the 20-25' range, but most are 30+ feet.
    Try even deeper for the fatties. The lake is rising fast and spring will be here soon!
