Me and my cousin fished Falcon this past saturday. We began around 6:30 am and finished about 12 pm, noon.

We started off shallow on a rocky point with heavy brush. My cousin began with a buzz bait and I started with a senko fished wacky style. We concentrated in depths of about 2-8 ft.

The buzzbait produced 4 nice fish, but the wacky style worms landed more and the biggest fish. My cousin caught the largest fish at about 6 lbs. And, I lost a real good one that broke me off on the wacky style as well. This fish would have been 8 lbs easy. I was also broke off 2 other times, once while swinging a 3 lber into the boat, and the other was on a hook set. I never break off, which makes me feel real suspect towards the line I was using, maybee a bad spool!

The fishing really slowed down around 9:30, and became down right tough!! We maybee caught 3 fish after this period, two on the wacky, and one on a crankbait in about 9 ft of water. We continued to target rocky points, I always do well on Falcon this way, and targeted depths of 6-14 ft. However, the bite just vanished. We might have been able to do well on offshore deep structure, but I do not know where alot of these spots are, and we had to leave by about noon.

Overall, it was a decent day but not my best on Falcon. We probably landed about 15 fish, with a 3 lb avg., and the largest landed was 6 lbs. However, it would have been a much better trip if that big one did not break me off. Seriously, I have seen and caught big fish and this was as good as they come, it was a real bummer. If you are going to fish Falcon right now, I would suggest hitting it early, the bite is good early but really slowed down by late morning. Unless you know some deep water honey holes!!!

Fishing Falcon shallow means use 65# plus braid and retie often. The most common heart break stories from Falcon come from those who use mono or flourocarbon.
