    I met BC fresh off his Vegas Trip to do a little bassin’ this afternoon. For all of you here in LAX this past weekend – you know the weather sucked…clouds, rain, cooler temps and 20-30+ winds beat us down …fish still bit, but not like they could’ve.

    Fast Forward one day….upper 50’s….0-8mph winds…Sunshine…Got on the water @ 5p.m. It took about 30 minutes to get dialed in but once we did, fishing was just sick.

    We literally caught 100 or more bass….I think everying came on Rat-l-traps…..color didn’t matter….We were averaging a strike every 4-8 seconds after a cast was made. (I know b/c I was counting) You just couldn’t ask for more in 2 hours of fishing.

    My analysis of all phases of spawn going on I believe to still be accurate….We actually found beds today very shallow…however the majority of our fish were staging pre-spawners…but they are ready to go….I can tell you that much…

    Great afternoon of fishing

    Those are the days you remember… awesome!
    I remember such a day some years ago where we got an early top water bite like that…bass blowing minnows up all over…We ripped Pop Rs and must have caught near 100… Fun!

    only observation on the slop…looks awful blue-green algae-ish…

    but, a reverent ‘Oh My!’ for those fish…lovely bunch of ladies for sure!
