Local Pond Bass 02/28

Fished one of our local Sacto ponds this morning. On the water 9:30am, off 12:15pm.
Weather was nice, no wind and overcast. When I arrived at my usual launch area I was surprised to
see 8 or 9 trucks there and 'toons being set up. One of the local fly fishing clubs was having an event there today.

I set up and hit the water. Headed to one of my favorite spots and started throwing senkos.
Got a couple hits, then caught my first fish for 2009. A nice fat 18" LMB. Took pics and put her back in the water. My second catch arrived about an hour later. This was a nice 15" LMB.

That's it. I was happy to catch two fish. Better than the skunks I've got on my previous outings.

Nice fish. Did you outfish the toons?

Nice fish. Did you outfish the toons?

I did. They were targeting the trout and that was very slow.

Way to go Al, those are beauties!

Great job on the largemouth bass alfredo.

Nice fish.  Were you at RS?

Nice pair of bucket mouths!

Those are nice fish.

Are you using worm hooks (weedless) or wacky for the senko's?

Looked warm and dry too!

I used a 4" Watermelon Senko, weedless Texas rig. No weights.

NICE!!!

Nice fish.  Were you at RS?

Sure looks like RS to me.

Alfredo.....immediately in back of the California State Fairgrounds I've seen what looks to be a slough area.....wondered about it's fishability, whether anyplace is deep enough to be both kayakable and fishable.

D'u know?

IF there was good water and fish
And IF (during the off-season) the Fairgrounds People would let you drive your car back to the RaceTrack building, park and carry over and down from the levee there.....it could be a very sweet setup.
