      Report: Fished the east shoreline rom 6:00 a.m. till 10:00 a.m.(been ishing same area or 13 years) it's hot but there are big bass out there..landed 6 ish-4 on a carolina rig with a our inch salt-in-pepper-grub(also with a red bead) 1-ish on a rattle-trap.. and get this a 7-pound ish on a A.C. plug...I spotted this ish in about 10 eet o water chasing around what looked to be like a small rainbow trout..so I had a 9-inch plug in my tackle box tied it on threw it out and connected..nice..
      City: pomona

      Tips: this place has some huge bass in it...don't give up anything shad colored will work...I think size is important here..this lake has a good population o bass rom the 5-6 pound range,,you see them every spring so I think bigger baits will get these ish to bite...try A.C. plugs....

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Well, today was just a perect example that it pays to move to another location when the ish just won't bite at your avorite "honey holes". I started pretty late today at 10:30am, I just could'nt get up ANY earlier ater being in Vegas ALL week! Whew! Anyway, I caught a little 1 lbs bass in 7 minutes ater my irst cast. Then I STRUGGLED or another bite or 2 hours! By the time I arrived the mud lines were becomming quite developed and the wind was blowing steady with a dropping air pressure rom 28.60 to 28.30. A pretty average thing by this time o the day. The day did'nt look too productive. However, at 1:00 pm the air pressure leveled o and I moved to a new location! The wind stayed steady and was increasing a little. In one hour I caught 6 ish all 2 to 3 lbs using my lite gear! Had I been able to stay longer I think I could have been able to improve on that score a little!the
      City: los angeles

      Tips: My tip is this....I recommend that you start very early in the day as soon as you can handle it BEFORE the wind comes up and the hot sun beams on you! Head or the steep rocky (ist size rocks to ootball sized) points that drop into the MAIN lake channels!! This is where the GOOD sized ish are NOW!!! They are still slashing into those bass ry but, that becomes less and less o a eeding choice as time goes by. WARNING!!!! On June 27th the lake will be closed rom 6:00am to 2:00pm or a "treatment". Known as "blue stoning" and the ishing REALLY drops o or about a week ater this happens! It's to control the weed growth in the lake since this water is ater all drinking water or nearby cities. I strongly suggest you pick another lake until the next ollowing weekend!!! Good luck!
