This one is just for you Jeff L

Went to Silverwood with Eric K on Thursday. As we traveled up the road past the swept aside snow drifts, we knew conditions would be tough. The night before the snow had fallen, and air temp was in the low 40s. After launching and seeing the water temp in the high 40s, we started fishing jigs on steep banks. We were the ONLY BOAT ON THE WATER ALL DAY LONG!!!

We ended up catching six bass on two different spots all on black/blue jigs with black pork. The bite was from 9-10:30 AM, including a three fish 5 minute flurry on our first spot. All I can tell you about the bite is that when you are so cold, you can't move your rod or reel, you'd get bit. Can you say SLOW-crawling. Wind blew throughout the day, and it rained a little off and on. It was nice to have the lake all to ourselves, even though the wind often dictated where we could fish. Eric kicked my a@# getting two 6 pounders and a 4, but at least I caught a couple and stretched my line a bit.

Here's Eric with the two 6s (Yes it was that COLD!!!)

What the? CJ actually went fishing?

That's a pretty good bite all things considered. Can't complain with 6 jig fish.

Chris, at least you didn't use the "back seater" excuse. How many of those "line stretchers" were rock bass? Don't worry bout it though, Eric has done that to me many times too. At least this time he was in his boat.

BMC, is that you? To set the record straight I caught a 3.5 and a 2.5, and Eric hogged the rest. Glad to be a backseater though in that wind. You gotta get out of your roust and head out there.

Nice fish!...Got me pumped on the jig thing! Glad to see you get out and fish there CJ!

Chris, what chu talkin' bout fool. Did Castaic on Saturday for one lousy 4 pounder. Didn't see anyone else doing any good so I didn't feel so bad on the way home. Did the big hawg hole today with George. Saw some nice big giants up shallow. Farmed an eight twice, then passed her off to another guy, who farmed her. Then Gerry M. decided to let try her for his kid. He poked her too then gave the rod to his kid to fight it. The kid was stoked. Pretty cool. BMC

Yo, BMC...all you caught was one lousy 4 lber? Damn, either the bite shut down after the storm or what Eric says about you is true!!! LOL...I couldn't make it out on sat. but i'll probably try it on tuesday, can you take the day off?

Dude, I don't know, might be ####ty weather tomorrow. Supposed to rain and be all jacked up. After the spanking I got there last saturday the bite would have to come back on in a big way. Call Eric and he'll give you my work number. I am here till 5, then you can reach me at home after six. Late.

BMC, forget it...i'd rather go to Castaic with CJ, Eric says that Chris lets the boater catch all of the big ones!...oops, was i supposed to say that? LOL CJ, i've never been to Silverwood and i stopped checking my email @ work because of all the "TOAD" pic's that he and Dale send me!!! Make's me not want to work anymore!!! (but then i couldn't spend the paycheck @ BWW, and it would be a lose/lose situation for us both! LOL)

Jeff L.

That's okay Jeff, that's why I personally addressed this post to you. To brighten up your dreary, work filled day....LOL. How 'bout a friendly tournament in a week or two. Me and BMC could reunite the ABA Angler of the Year team against you and Eric. And by the way, NO LIVE SHAD...ROFLMAO!!! Set it up, and we'll be there. Silverwood would be a good choice, Eric and I don't have a lot of common water there. I just gotta keep Brian from looking for non-existant site fish...Is that three slams in one post? Damn, better stop while I'm ahead.

Now that's what I'm talkin bout! You go boyee! Layin' the fishin' smack down like a two dolla street corner pimp. But you know Chris if there's fish even lookin' for a place shallow to get his groove on I'm gonna find it. Let's just hope that Eric forgets his jigs and we might be safe after seeing the spanking he delivered fresh to his, uh-um, backseater last week. Maybe we can throw down at the Pudd. Eric and I might hit it on Wednesday so I'll know all his spots. LOL.
