Back to San V Mondays..

Missed a couple mondays, good to be back! Got to the lake at first light, parking lot empty, good sign or bad sign? Water temp 68 with a slight breeze to start..and no boats! Started the day throwing flukes, killed em last year at the same time..this year, nothing! There seems to be a lack of baitfish, which seems evident with the lack of any real topwater the last year. I don't really see any signs of shad, silversides, or even small bluegill! That might explain the smaller than normal weights in the tournaments lately. I switched over to throwing senkos and plastics up tight with only small fish to show for it. I soon moved out to 10'-15' and started consistently picking up fish on the dropshot..and yes Mr. Vinny, I was using 6" Robos and not biting the heads off! The number of boats picked up as the morning went on, guess people don't get up early anymore! The wind also picked up as the morning went on under mostly cloudy skies. I called it a day around 1:00, when the wind made it tough to keep my tin can in one place. I finished the day with 14 fish, nothing big, just fun size! I broke off 5 or 6 in the trees, but that kind of goes with the territory.

 

Good timing, it definitely picked up after 11:00. I was fishing alot of areas wide open to the wind. I guess I could of found some shelter in the back of the arms, but that wasn't really what my pattern was. I've seen you out there before, missed you yesterday!

 

Still way down! It's been pretty stable for the last month. I think since it's supposedly our emergency water supply, they're trying to keep it at a certain level. It's still a mother of a launch ramp hike at the end of the day! Water is coming in from the Aquaduct, so I think they're just refilling what's lost to evaporation! I'm hearing some nasty rumors about what they're going to do to Sutherland and Hodges water levels...

 

Such as no more launch ramp usage at both lakes....soon! I'm not sure El Cap is far behind!

 

Both!

 

That's why I'm so skinny, blocked up with Robo heads..! I can't make the fish look any bigger, my arm is only so long...I need one arm longer than the other!

 

I still can't find any dates yet from the city on when they're shutting down ramps because of lowering water levels..but isn't that just like the City!
