standman Report post Posted September 19, 2009 Hey everyone, decided today to head to San Carlos Lake today (since no one wanted to let me tag along elk hunting). Got on the water around 6:20 a.m. Took about an hour to figure out what color the fish wanted. Ended up catching 21 bass with the largest being 3 lbs. Fished for crappie for about an hour before coming off the lake. Marked crappie almost everywhere I went but couldn't get them to bite. Ended up with only 1 crappie. Caught the bass on dropshot with a gulp shakey worm in a red/black color. Got off the water at 11:00 am. Had a good time. One other note. The lake is down to 4%. If you are heading to the lake be very carefull on the water. One spot in the middle of the lake out from Willow Springs Cove a hump comes up and is only 8' deep. If the water continues to fall that will be a lower unit killer. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

standman Report post Posted September 20, 2009 Sorry no pics. I have a problem of taking the camera fishing with good intentions of using it, but nearly always come home without a pic. I guess I need to take a few lessons from Doug/RedRabbit. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks for the update Brian. I've always been a Spring fisherman, but obviously you've found out how to make the best of the Summer and Fall months too - hat's off to you bro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
audsley Report post Posted September 25, 2009 I have a phobia about taking cameras in boats. I once ruined a cell phone because I forgot I'd put it in a bottom pocket. Not taking a camera in the boat doesn't work so well if you release your catch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
