Started at 0700 and fished upper end of lake. Caught 5 quick ones on minnows and then nothing for an hour. Was using minnows and gold hook. then caught 12 more in next hour. Decided to do some searching and started throwing 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz jigs with BBC grubs. No Minnows. Caught the rest of a 50 fish limit by 1400. Son from Minnesota and I had a great afternnon. Beautiful San Carlos Weather. Calm before the storm. Caught 7 that were just under 3 pounds (on a new scale) and the rest were from 3/4 to 2 1/4 pounds. Most were deep black color and in the process of spawning in tree tops. Just need to search. Staying by the flotilla doesn't always produce like we think. Break away and take a chance. We did and it was very productive.
