I went yesterday because of the forecast. The fog got really bad around 130. 20 fish from 930 till 200.

It was stupid easy. I’d see them we would drop down & it was clockwork. It was a fun day no doubt. 7lbs floro & no break offs.

When you're fishing that way, do you even set the hook or just start reeling when you get bit? I break off enough with 20lb floro. Seven pound is crazy scary.......

Rod up, lock your elbow & reel fast. Back the drag off where it gives a little while reeling. Use a light wire no1 roboworm rebarb drop shot hook.

^^^ would assume he is nose hooking the plastic bait
Of choice and not tx rigging it... 7lb line is crazy out there though.. gives the worm more action though.

Tx rigging it. Out there you have to.

Yesterday was good. Caught em on a variety of baits.



The fog sucked, took 45 minutes to get from dam to launch.

Guess I need to lay off my hook set some then... bc if I had 7lb line on I’d break off constantly... I use 15lb out there mainly.

This is what I heard also

I noticed that they hadn’t changed this on their online reservation system (as of last Sunday); but the lady at the gate definitely said “not open Mondays next year” when I was there last Thursday.

Looked online and you can't make reservations on Monday's so I guess it's closed on Monday's. Sorry about the miss information.

7lbs floro special on Squaw today. I did an electronics/Offshore class today. We caught several good ones but this was the best.

This is also a good opportunity to learn/practice fizzing bass.
