Default Oroville weekend

Took off to Lake Oroville for the last camping trip of the year. About 90
degrees during the day and windy at night. Caught one 10" bass! Had on a
couple of decent fish on a CR'ed baby brush hog. How can a fish, pull the
worm and hard at that for 15' and never even expose the hook. Figured they
must have been biting short and just pulling on the tail. Left my
spinnerbait box at home and only had a 3/8 oz in the boat. needed a 3/4oz
minimum as the fish were 25-35' deep. Only time I have failed dropshotting
at Oroville. Never got a hit. Broke one pole. One of my downrigger poles
for trout. A Shakespeare graphite. Looked at it's twin and there are
splits in the middle of that one also. Went by Wally world Saturday evening
to get batteries for the flashlight. Looked at getting a pole there for
downrigging on Sunday for trout and salmon. 98% of the rods were spinning
rods. The tackle store I normally use in Oroville was closed by the time we
got off the lake. But you'd think that a fishing supply store in Oroville
would carry at least 50% casting rods.
