San Luis res ...

Has anyone fished in the main lake or the fore bay recently?

I heard its been redhot for schoolies in the forebay. The res is really low due to work on the dam, but heard they're still catching em near the racks. Now w/b a good time to hit it, pending the wind forecast.

had a buddie up there shore fishing said him an his son caught an released over 25 each biggest at 26 inches so schoolies are hittin hard right now.

I'm going to the main lake tomorrow (Sat) on my buddies Boston Whaler.  We're planning on launching at Dinosaur Point and drifting Jumbo Minnows and throwing lures.  We'll keep in on 69 if anyone needs help.  I'll post how we do later.

Awesome thsnks bones

Was out at casa de fruita today. Wind was picking up a bit. Hope you slayed em

Picked up a dozen Jumbo Minnows and a dozen large at Coyote Bait and Tackle, then we proceeded to San Luis Res.   We had to go through the mussel inspection for my buddy's PB.  There is no "extra fee" for the inspection, but it still cost $16 to launch.  We launched at Dinosaur Point and proceded trolling out of the cove.  Once in the main lake we metered a school of stripers and dropped a couple of Jumbos down and we had a double on.  My buddy was determined to get this on video and his came off after leaving it in the rod holder.  I landed mine and it was an 18" keeper but I let it go.  We kept making passes and got a lot of action.  My buddy ended up with a limit of 20 inchers and I released another 18 incher and some smaller ones.  The bite ended there about 10ish and we took a ride to the trash racks where we saw only one striper caught.  There was a lot of plankton over there and the depth was over 100 feet.  I didn't want to fish there in case I caught an undersized fish, because their swim bladders expand and they can't swim back down without surgical help.
Went back to our previous spot but they had moved away.  We left at 1:00.  The weather was nice and the wind  stayed calm all morning.  The trip across the lake was flat.  I wish I had brought my kayak instead because I can see my fishfinder and position over the fish easier.  Maybe next time.

Sounds like a good time. This time of year the big ones start cruisin the points around romeros visitor center. Its time to start hittin the big lake alot. Especially since cod season is almost over...thanks for report

a friend of mine has been going each week and killing them, picked up some good bass early in the day as well

Dang only 20" schoolies ive been there a hand full of times an havent caught anything under 26" there throwing flukes from points

What kind of rig do ya use for the minnows?

I use a Carolina rig with a 1/2 oz egg sinker.  You may need more weight depending on the wind drift.
