Well,
Put a day in on Long Saturday and caught pretty much every species in the lake. Largemouth, smallmouth, pike minnow, crappie, perch, and .....PIKE!
First time on Long this year and with the recent fluctuations in water levels it was a little slow. Started from Nine Mile around 8 am and headed downstream. Hit a few fish on cranks and some plastics...
Hit up Eloika on Sunday with a buddy from work and his wife. Started fishing about 11am and got off the water around 4pm. A pretty slow day but we did find a few fish willing to bite. Fish in the pic ...
Hit Liberty on Monday around 5:30am to fish for a few hours before the 4th of July boat traffic got too busy. Water temps were in the high 60's and very calm conditions. Threw some topwater but no rea...
Decided to brave the predicted thunderstorms and arrived at Liberty around 11:30am. Took my father with me which made for a great afternoon and since there was only one other boat on the water, we pre...
Fished Liberty last night from 5pm till around 8pm betting that the cooler weather would hold down the boat traffic as I always dread the launch. The water levels are quite a bit lower and even the ma...
Had a power outage at work yesterday so couldn't think of a better way to spend the afternoon then heading out fishing.
Got on Liberty at about 4pm and the water temps were around 70F for the norther...
Headed out to Liberty again last night, took a buddy of mine with me this time though. I just gotta say watching a tournament level angler dissect this water was a learning experience not just for me ...
Spent sunday afternoon on Liberty from 5:30pm till around 9. Water temps were in the 72-75F range and had some slight overcast to sunny conditions with about a 5-10mph breeze.
Ended up boating 5 tot...
Got in a few hours on Liberty yesterday after work. Didn't get any hits on a dropshot so switched over to senkos rigged weedless and got a 2lb largemouth. When the light started getting low, threw som...
Back on the water and hit up Liberty for a few hours yesterday (Monday) from 5pm till dark. The trout really seemed to like the dropshot along with other smaller fish near the weedlines.
Towards the...
Welcome to spring, finally!
Launched out of Nine Mile Resort around 11:30am and fished various docks and banks. Got my first fish by skipping up under a tree. Next one was beside a boat-house. After ...
Just gotta say, I think Long is turning into my favorite place to fish. Headed out today even though the weather looked pretty questionable. My philosophy is if I can keep myself dry and warm then no ...
First time out on Liberty in several weeks and spent a couple hours trying various areas that I haven't fished before. Pretty much cold and raining but no wind so got to enjoy the peace and quiet with...
The Inland Empire Bass Club hosted it's 3rd tournament this year over May 22nd&23rd. 54 entrants total with 279 fish caught for a weight of 521.92lbs total. Water temps the previous week were 71F and ...
Headed to Liberty from 5:30 till 7:30pm last night. Water temps were around 57F where I was at and with the overcast skies could barely see the bottom. Got the 2lb 5oz fish in a few casts and about 20...
Hit up Liberty after work with Prohawk for a few hours. Did our good deed for the day by towing in a stranded family on their new-to-them boat.
Onto the fishing...
Water temp was around 54.5F, a ...
Personally, had our very first tournament this weekend and what a great time! Almost all of the Inland Empire Bass Club members caught lots of fish both days and overall we had zero dead ones so 100% ...
Spent the day checking out the area up and downstream of Lower Granite Dam for next weeks tournament. Water is pretty stained with only about 4-5 feet of visibility. Temps were in the 56-58 degree ran...
After I launched, I tied my boat up and got back in my truck to exit the ramp when I immediately got crowded out by some guy in an explorer towing a white/blue open bow boat. Didn't think much of it s...
"When the guys who live on this lake aren't catching anything, that's a bad sign".
That was the best quote I heard yesterday. Went out for a few hours to see how this lake is progressing and talke...
Ahhh, Newman.
Took the boat out and ran around the lake for my first time on this water. Pitched jigs, jerkbaits, and some cranks around the docks and the large submerged island. Water temps were in ...
Went out today and cruised around for a bit. Mainly to shake off the cabin fever and get familiar with my new boat. Can't beat a 55 degree day in the end of February!
Launched around 10:30am and crui...
