Collins Lake blowout 6-13

Got up nice and early to no wind. Got to the lake 45 mins later and paid my fee. Drove to the water and the shore was being pounded by 1.5 foot waves. Didn't feel like foghting the waves and wind. They gave my money back at the gate. Left Collins and headed back to the valley, light breeze. Thermalito afterbay for bass. They've been dropping the level fast for irrigation. All the good weeds and grass are out of the water, stayed anyway. No fish. Saw some large carp splashing around. Talked to a guy who had his dogs there and no fishing pole. He is a tournament type guy. He told me wait for a couple days and the water will be back up 5 feet. It's crazy how the water changes there, 5 feet in a couple days. I've seen it. Anyway, he says the place is full of bass and told me how to fish for them later. Now home fixing stuff. Rather be fishing.

Glad you can get OTW after the blow out at the lake.  Thanks for the report Rob.

thx for the intel.  I'll be there for 3 days starting July 8, and hope to have some good results- kids are itchin to yakfish again.
