I forced myself off shore and spent most of my time at 25feet. I've been hunting down one of Bullard's legendary huge spots and came as close as ever, hooking into a massive, rod bending, line stripping slab, that I sadly wasn't able to land. So I had to settle for some 1.5-2 pounders. But another beautiful day on my favorite lake. In talking with some guys at the dock on my way in, it sounds like I should have moved even further out to the 40 foot depth. Next week...

This is more of an equipment report than a fishing report. I've been hunting those giant spotties in Bullard's Bar for two years now with plenty of success catching 3lbs and under...but nothing big. So I picked up some large glide and swim baits to change up my game....and then realized I needed a new rod to throw them. So although my quest for a giant spotty in Bullards continues, I can't say enough about the new Evergreen Combat Stick that Nick recommended. I threw those huge baits until my arms nearly fell off and that rod was amazing. Can't wait to hook into a giant with that thing...and shout out to Strike King Game Hawgs for wiping off the skunk. (love the blue craw pattern) Cuz with an hour of daylight to go, I hit the shoreline and landed a few babies before leaving.... And remember, if you're in Northern Cali and want to swap war stories, join the subreddit r/NorCalBassFishing. Tight lines!
