Title: Sunday 12/2 San Luis Reservoir
Post by: PandaMan on November 30, 2018, 12:21:24 PM
Hey!

Is anyone down to go check out San Luis Reservoir on Sunday December 2nd. There is a bit of a swell this weekend so I was thinking of hitting up freshwater.

Hope to see others out there!

Wish I could make it. That's just down the road from me and I would like to learn how to fish there. I have heard they are catching a bunch of strippers right now.

Can’t wait to hear how you do!  I love SLR and have fished it for decades! 😬. Get off the lake when the wind picks up. Happens pretty fast.  I’m “so close” to getting an umbrella rig to try there.  I usually troll Cordel Spots, sometimes called “sonar on a string” 😊. I like tfe structure around Dinosaur Point and in front of the pump outlets on the main lake.  Fish get ground up there and lots of tidbits for survivors.

Yeah, can't wait to hear your report also. Was planning on yesterday, but the conditions weren't favorable.

It was decent a lot of small ones... I think I’m going to pick up some Jumbo minnows and drift the dam area this weekend if anyone is interested.

Inspection was fine... I keep it in the garage and didn't have any issues. I always bring a microfiber towel just in case!

How do you fish the jumbo minnows? I was using umbrella rig on the down rigger for a few of my fish but a "Bait and Wait" would be a nice break.

oops, just saw this now.

launched basalt in dense fog on sat. stuck close to the shoreline trolling my new umbrella rig toward goosehead (didn't wanna get hit by a PB). found some fish near some points, but they didn't want the a-rig. by the time i pinned on a minnow, they were gone.  10:30am and now the dense fog lifted.  headed to deeper water to locate fish with no luck.  saw some PBs and yaks just ouside bay near dam, so I decided to work that area.  i gave up on a-rig, and slow trolled minnow mid column on DR, and another at the bottom.  saw lots of fish come up and check out my DR'd minnow, but no biters, then the minnow at the bottom gets hit, small keeper released.  there was window when the bite turned on at 1:30-2ish???  during this time, both rods were getting action.  got bit 5x times, landed 4, with 1 LDR.  gifted 1 and kept the 21" for a fish fry.  it was a slow day overall, but great to be out fishing again!

I think I saw you out there, I was in the PA. Slower day for me as I too was worried about the fog. At times you could only see 20 yards. I trolled the shoreline perpendicular to the dam with no luck. When fog cleared I saw a bunch of people near the dam and went over to check it out. Got three scratched up Jumbos but nothing stuck! Did see some schooling fish but wasn’t sure what they were. They weren’t aggressive like stripers but we’re too big to be shad.

Calm relaxing day overall, I’ll be out there again
