Actually the water she hit in is close to 80 feet deep and I suspect she is either bedding on a shale outcropping or just feeds here. They need crawfish for egg development but I decided not to fish her that way. About 5 years back I bought 6 crawfish and fished a stretch of pretty famous for big fish water with all my trick stuff and not a tap and went back where I started and anchored up figuring I'd be there quite a while, as an experiment I wanted to see if they'd bite bait. Now I thought I'd be there a good long while but I had 6 fish on 6 casts with a 5-6 pound AVERAGE. I have seen big fish at Cachuma act very strangely to trout baits in the past and I believe it's because they have had experiances with them befor. Maybe 5-6 years back I spotted a 10 sitting in the back of a cove but up in the top of some brush. At the time I was playing with my new 70.00 dollar Castaic Hardbait. I tossed it passed her and swam it by and she followed it towards the boat. She was getting to close to the boat so I stopped it dead. She swam over and gingerly grabbed it between the two trebles, She let go and swam about 3 feet away and then the strange part, she stuck her head out of the water and shook it from side to side and then slowly sliped back on her tail,turned and swam back to the bush and took up position there again. That fish never touched anything I presented to her again. I think she had been hooked on a woodbait before or she wouldn't have acted that way. I've been tossing these things down here for over ten years and I am a believer when it comes to a fish especially a Florida strain getting shy of certain types of stuff except they are northern strain and more prone to eat period. However this doesn't explain why the fish at Lopez are still eating white spinnerbaits. After 20 years of getting caught on them you'd think that they would have figured that one out. Maybe that's the differance?-Reaction baits don't give them time to figure stuff out - but they way I fish my swimbait they have all day to figure it out....I am sure I do better on windy,overcast,rainy type days because they make more mistakes. I'll keep working her the old fashioned way and see if I can't stick her....I find that if you make the fish To Smart you might as well stay home...GO BIG OR GO HOME....Kelly
