Went up to a grape picking and wine charity sale for Cal Poly SLO
scholarships on Saturday. Rant on: Why is it people come to one of these
events, drink the free wine, etc, and then do not even buy one bottle?
Tacky. Rant off. Fished their pond, for bass. Landed about 3, lost about 4.
Mostly Senkos, and all about 1.5#. All in about 45 minutes of fishing. Was
fun. Stayed at Spanish Flat resort at Lake Berryessa Sat night with the
camper, and boated Sunday, fished for bass, drop shot. Landed 3, all a pound
or less smallmouth. Very windy until about 4:30. so fished where it was
protected. Not the main lake rock piles where the bass have been hitting.
Maybe as the latest Western Outdoor News writer posted, we need to do more
catch and release in to 350 degree oil. Lots of bass, but mostly 1# size.
Same thing has happened on Lake Shasta and starting to happen on Clear Lake.
Hard to get a decent sized bass. Friends pond that we fished is loaded, but
biggest in pond may be 2#. They are redoing their smaller pond because of
algae problem. (these are reservoirs for the vineyard) and the pond
specialist has introduced bait fish and bluegills. Later the bass will be
transplanted.
