Today I doubled my catch, caught 16. Saw other anglers catching more today as well. Fun day, Im supposed to meet a friend out there tomorrow. Hope the bite continues.

Near limits taken on Saturday by boat up above the steps.

Fishing today and the weather is beautiful. The bite how ever is so slow that I might have to call it. Six fish isn't enough to keep my interest alive. Plus my lower back is going out on me. Thought about going to my truck to take a break and maybe coming back down here, But everyone here are struggling to get a bite, live bait, fly rods and spinning rods are all having a slow day.

I met a female angler with a fly rod that told me hook-line-sinker and J-Moe are the two guys who got her interested in fly fishing and tying her own closers. Her name is Sherry. Nice lady and we had some decent conversations about fishing. Also talked to several older anglers about Reimers ranch fishing. Oh how great the good days were.

I tell you you what, I can not figure out what in the heck is going on with these fish this year. After the nice weather we have had last few days one would think the bite would be on. But it's close to being dead. I know it has me baffled. I did see one female on a stringer today, and not that many males. I fished shallow, I fished deep pockets, fished were water flows into deeper water. I fished new areas where there should be an awesome bite, but only a few real small fish would bite. Oh well, so much for trying to analyze what's going on, the bite should pick up soon. The spawn is just getting started, so let's hope a big school of these fish are on their way up the river to spawn. I have yet to catch a limit, but it's coming.

Fishytx, I went yesterday morning to the steps also. I had about 20 spot tails with me, and the whites were just moving through. I would catch one or two and had to wait a little bit for more to move through. The bite even on minnows was worried also. They would just peck at it, and you had to wait a long time before they would take it in. I did have a funny thing happen yesterday, my hook came untied on a white and about 45 minutes later a caught the same fish. Got my hook back and turned him loose because he was only 9 inches. I caught 11 keepers and 5 were females.

Live bait was proven to be the best way to get bit. The minnow anglers had the best success, even with store bought minnows.

All the fish I cleaned the other day were females except a couple.

Today should be a lot better day for fishing. I always have better luck when it’s cloudy. Yesterday the bite really slowed down once the sun hit the water.

From 7:30-10am yesterday(3/1), 15 female.

The bite is on today. Caught 40 and went home with 10. Cleaned them and had 8 females. Left them bitting, my back was going out on me so I had to call it. But they were really moving around, saw schools after schools swimming upstream. And there was some spawning action going on as well.

Great news Doug The fishing should really be intense over the next couple weeks. I've been destroying the white bass everywhere I've been but no females. This is the first set of reports for the females showing up. IT'S ON!!!!!

Those are some monsters Bengo. Well done

Most of my fish from my last 2 trips to the San Gabe (2/19 & 2/25) Were legal size females full of eggs. I took home 8-10 each trip, of those only 2 or so were males.

Anyone know what the water looks like after the storm yesterday? Planning on running the boat up to the step tomorrow. Going either way, just planning ahead.
