      Report: Got on the water about 7:30 a.m. First ish at 9:10 about 2lbs. By 10:30 a.m. had 6 ish in the boat. Smallest ish all day about 1.5lbs. Largest 5 ish about 12-14 lbs. Largest ish 3.5lbs.

      Tips: Fish it slow and even slower. Best bet is to let it all slow and work it back 2 turns then stop 2 turns then stop. They will hit it when you stop it.

      Water Temp: 57 deg

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Went to the lake or the day to check on ish location and water level and water temp. For this time o year the water level is low, it is usually 6-8 eet higher. The water temp is about right, the water level increased by almost 8 eet in 2 weeks. Within the next couple weeks the water level should be about right or the ish to start moving into the the shallows to build beds.
      City: Bakersield

      Tips: Late Feb and Mar are good ishing ish are moving into shallows to build beds. Light colored 3/8 oz spinners along the shoreline usually work. Natural color worms on dropshot work also. Summer night ishing with buzz baits work well, summer time brings out all the jet skiers, most have no respect or isherman. My point is summer time day ishing is hard to do.
