      Water Temp: 67 - 70

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Stripers are at the end o a ive year cycle where they have eliminated the bait ish (shad) and are starving. Catches are all small and skinny. Best site is Antelope Pt. intake station or power plant. Smallmouth bass bite is excellent. Hitting grubs, white, chartreuse, pumpkin, whatever. Also lizards and worms. Largemouth bass are in various stages o spawn, pre, post and doing it. Many seen on the nest. Best ishing is in "green" water, where visibility drops. At ends o canyons with water inlets, creeks, etc. Worst is in "muddy" waters. We caught smallmouth almost repeatedly, mostly throwbacks. Some keepers. Largest largemouth was 3.0 lbs., but action was good. Overall, Powell is excellent or ishing right now. Many large stringers o largemouth being taken and smallmouth up to 3.0 lbs. Stripers are small, around 2.0 lbs. and hard to come by. Reports o stripers being in the San Juan up by the big bay as well as "big" largemouths being taken up there. Weather has been hot.
      City: Chula Vista, Cali.

      Tips: We used up a couple bags o white Yamamoto grubs, single tails. Also, chartreuse, pumpkin and watermelon grubs. Bass hit on a black 6" worm rigged Texas style. Best ishing or spawning and prespawn bass was a method called Inside Line, where you rig your lure to be weedless and toss it onto the bank. Let it sit there 30 seconds, then bring it slowly to the waters edge. Then reel as slow as you can into the water and retrieve it. S-L-O-W-L-Y. Bass protecting the nest will concentrate on the threat coming rom the bank and some ishermen were reporting as many as three bass attacking the lure simultaneously as it entered the water. TIP: I no hits within irst 5 eet, let the lure rest on the bottom or another 30 seconds. Then raise the rod tip slowly and retrieve slowly, letting the rod tip rise, then all.
