Round Valley here I come

[briansnat]

Well so much for high hopes. I spent one morning after bass. As someone told me here, look deeper for them so I was in 20-40 feet with a jig and Carolina rigged plastics of various colors and forms. I also tried the shallows for ha-has.

Yesterday I trolled for 6 hours straight with four lines in the water. 2 leadcore and two on mono. I varied the depth and speed throughout the day, but at one point I actually got hung up on the bottom with the lead core in 80 feet of water so I was definitely in laker territory with that one.

My only fish was a good sized rock bass tossing a buzzbait at 4:30 am. It was so big I thought it was a smallie at first. Had to be 10 inches.

I don't feel so bad. I talked to a lot of other fishermen over the weekend and not many caught a thing. The guy camped next to us was out a lot and said the only fish he caught was a bass near the boat launch when he was waiting for his wife to show up.

Oh well back to the drawing board.
