d**n i missed a big one today greg....i yanked the swimbait out of its mouth...man I was ticked. Anyways ended up with one bass about a pound and a half to two pounds. Can't post up pics cuz it's on my pathetic phone.

anybody getting hit out there? went today and saw bass blowing up on shads in the morning but they were to far away to get to. my brother was able to catch a one pounder but besides that we got nothing else.

I went to el do yesterday around 8am, I was using a Booyah white buzzbait 3/8oz. I got a 1lber bass by the ranger station and cant wait to go again soon

Alright, being that I rarely fish anymore, due to health problems. I'm gonna give you El Do guys a great tip, doesn't work all the time, but is your best bet to get a decent fish.

I prefer a spinning rig, and 6 to 8lb copoly, or a good fluro line, such as Yozuri Ultrasoft. Tie on a # 2 or smaller worm hook, then rig up a 6" flat tail roboworm, or any worm that has good action while SLOWLY retrieving it. Then ad a #5 splitshot about 18" above the hook, make sure you clamp it down tight so it doesn't slide down the line. Cast out to where you think fish may be, let the bait SIT for a good min. then slowly bring the bait in, 2 turns on the crank every 30 seconds or so.

Keep in mind that if there are weeds your gonna get hung up, once you feel the snag, Do Not pull, lift the rod tip as high as you can, then with your arm, lift even higher, at the same time gently pull the rod toward you, most times that will save a bait. good Luck to you guys.

Back in June, my fiancé and I picked up a season pass for hiking in the nature center on the weekends. I also checked out the lakes in Area III out of curiosity. After seeing the action (slow as it was) I decided it would be a good idea to end my 12 year bass fishing hiatus.

 

I try to make it to Paddle Boat Lake every Wednesday afternoon. I've had the most luck finessing soft plastics. A small spinner/swimbait combo worked well until it didn't. I also got strikes on small rapalas, and a strike on a tiny torpedo after sunset. 

 

Even when the skunk prevails, it's sometimes worth stopping by just to see the wild birds and to watch the lake boil with shad and flying bass. If noting else, this is a beautiful place to fish!
