Lake Sonoma 19 Mar 2007 Report

Got to the lake around 7:30 am and met Jonez.   While we were getting ready Mickfish and Big J showed up.  Launched around 8 am and split up, but remained in radio contact. I was so excited to be back on the water fishing that I forgot to take photos of everyone else.

Anyway, I ended up leaving around noon having caught a handful of bass.  Managed a few largemouth on a freshwater shad assassin and a nice smallmouth on a yozuri crystal minnow lure.  I also lost a shad rap to a really nice smallmouth when he ran on me into a submerged tree.

I'll let everyone else report their own catch.

A couple pictures of my smallmouth 17"...
I'm also working on my own version of Fishunter's pose.

...A very nice pose Brian Nice SMB! I must recon this place soon! Thanks fro the post!

Nice day at the lake I caught a mixed bag mostly smallies a few LMB and 1 steelie. I trolled Shad Raps all day and it was a steady bite when I could stay in 15' of water. I caught a nice LMB in 160' of water 8-10 feet down did he think he was a trout? Lost 1 really nice smallie next to boat most were 12"-16" lot of fun.

OK.....that's it.....I'm going next week - Mike, what the camping situation like ??
