Calm winds in the morning, overcast, air temp was in the low 70's. All of the bass caught today came on the whopper plopper. Caught well over a dozen largemouth this morning. The largest was 18 inches the smallest was about 4 inches 🤣. I Tried throwing a spinnerbait, chatterbait, weightless fluke, frog, and even a jerkbait. The only thing they would attack was the plopper.

Pretty tough conditions today on the water. Post cold front, bluebird skies, and moderate wind. The winning bait today on the water was the buzzbait. The fish are moving into the channels and creeks. The picture was the biggest of the few caught today. That tri-wing buzzbait is so smooth retrieving either fast or slow. Slow was the key to the bite today.

Friday afternoon, evening fishing trip. Weather was blue bird skies 15 - 25 mph winds with gusts up to 40mph. Fishing out of a kayak I found a nice pocket and found a few smaller small mouths to put in the boat.

Overcast conditions with a little rain in the morning hours. The black bass bite was slow. I caught a few and the biggest is pictured below. I talked with another boater and kayaker, and they were also having a slow time with the bass. The white bass on the other hand are still schooling up and are easy to catch on topwater. The bass I did catch was on a popper or a follow-up caffeine-shad soft jerkbait after they missed the popper.

Fishing today in windy and overcast conditions out of my kayak. I targeted laydowns on the backside of the current caused by the wind. I caught several largemouths today and too many white bass to count. All the fish I caught were on topwater. Most of them were caught on a popper.

Fishing after an overnight rain storm. Heavy cloud cover and 20-degree cooler temps than the day before. White bass were out-busting shad all day. I went out in my kayak to some coves close to the main docks and I just waited for the busting to start. I caught 50+ white bass all varying sizes and all on top water with the popper and spook. No picture this time - the action was so fast and furious and did not take the time to take pics.

I launched out of Bugbee Canyon. I caught a lot of white bass along with a few largemouth and a random smallmouth bass. Most of the white bass were up schooling and caught on the popper. Bass were caught on the jerkbait.
