35, Fatty bass by Summer
Posted by , Sun Jul-11-99 06:29 PM
Hey all-<BR>all I have to say is that Santa Margarita Lake rules!! I got 3 bass today on a black and silver rattle trap that Rob hooked me up with (excuse the pun). The first one was a major lunker (for me) it was about 3.0lbs. I caught all of my fish in the swimming pool cove. The other one's were about 12inches long. I was fishing out of the back of the boat, because that's how cool I am, and was slaying them. The first one I caught was so rad...it pulled so much drag. I was reeling and all of a sudden WHAM there it was. Then the other one was cool too, but the other one was better. I thought I was snagged on some weeds, then I was like...these weeds are pulling back, and there it was, a nice bass for me. <BR> Rob was using a chrome and blue speed trap. Rob caught 2 fish about 2lbs each, 4 or 5 dinks and one nice one which weighed in at 3lbs 12oz. Matt caught three with one nice one about 3lb and two smaller ones. He was using a chrome and blue rattle trap. We fished in the marina cove and in the swimming pool cove. The weather was really nice up there to boot. See you out there!
