2002, Discovery Lake, 10-25-01

Hit it after work and got a nice evening bite. 6:30 - 8:30pm. 6 LM to 3#, all on Senkos of various colors. Most were jumpers too. Also lost another 8+ LM on the Buzzbait. Though on two of them, they spit the bait and I almost got hooked. Probably 7 of the 8 I either set too soon, or have a dull hook. Probably both. Should've had the right rod and reel for the job too. Way more aggressive on the buzz, then I usually get for the Puppy. I'll be buying more of these party favors soon.
Very fun night. 4 or the Senko fish in the first 1/2 hour. Bugs were very bad though. Very very bad. I will be back though, soon, very soon.

The lake he's talking about is in San Diego. I don't know of any Rancho Goleta Lake... BTW, you don't have to introduce yourself every post, it has your name above your message. Just FYI.

Brian, no buzz fish. I lost at least 8 though. 0 - 8. Hell I've done worse. I fished the back end, there's some nice weeds. What I wouldn't give to tube it though. There is almost no fishable shoreline. Most of the holes in the tules have trees hanging like 5' above the water. I'm trying another place in the morning. Tubing this one too. I'll report after.

btw, I've been making some freakbait molds. Should be pouring with them soon. Save me a lot of money if they work good, plus I can have whatever colors I want. Steve's picking them up to start prepping them for pouring. Should have some fresh freaks next week.

Ruben, Brian's right about Discovery, it's down here in S.D. Never fished S.B. though, so Brian's my source for info up there.

Yeah, I'm using plaster. I did try epoxy, but it reacts with both the glues I tried. One of them did turn out marginal, but haven't used it to know for sure.
Tubed this lake in Vista this morning. Nice looking place, lots and lots of tules, plenty of points, and just big enough to not get bored. But, not a single good bite for 4 hrs. Skunked. The water was a wierd redish brown, like a bad Red Tide. Any clue as to what that is from? Shut off the bite? I know the place has a good reputation.

Has it rained down there or anything? Something must've kicked up the mud or washed mud into the water. Could be algae too.

Wasn't rain, haven't had any in what seems like 20 years. Though we might get some tomorrow. My guess is algae.
