Mendo 3-21

The lake is getting full and the water is clearing, hopefully soon the fishing will pickup too.  I put in about 4.5 hours today of (mostly) drifting minnows and throwing spinners and grubs.  Nightcrawlers under a bobber were the ticket though for a bunch of these:



and this spawned out girl:



This one fell for a minnow though:



Love is in the air at mendo and there were a lot of these honkers hanging around:



On a related note, I love my new hook1 branded hawg trough!

Pretty smallies.  And big too!  Thanks for the report and pics.

I need to make one more trip up there - Thanks for the report and pics!

Nice, looks like a fun day to me!

Looks like a great day of fishing to me!!!  Thanks for the post!

 * regarding you hook1 branded hawg trough...here's a little tip, use a sharpie and mark the inches so it's more visible...

I was just thinking about that!

Thanks for the update, RN.

So, is it possible to launch from the South parking lot again?

The first time I ever went to Mendo we launched right from the parking lot!

Thanks for the report ringnebula. Congrats on the SMB.

That is exactly what I did on Sunday.  It is maybe 10 feet to the water from the parking lot and an easy launch.  Both ramps are open too if you are into that sort of thing.
