Nice size catch. checked out your video -didn't look familiar are you fishing south of patterson ? started using lures heavily about two months ago and the amount and size of fish have increased 10 fold. noticed your lure retreive was as soon as it hit the water ? do your lures sink or are they the floating type .. i'm new to these bigger lures and have been trying all types of retreives and shapes .lots of fish in the 21 to 24 inch size and hit and running different spots have produced a loy of fish . Find them in one spot one day and they may be somewhere else the next day.:GrayWingSmiley:

cant say were this spot is u understand, but its a small canal 12 feet wide only 4-5 feet deep, so that's why the retrieve the way it was, it was a fluke with 1/2 oz lead head..

Bites have really slowed down on stripers. Ive caught probably 5 keepers in the last 2 months. But the cats are biting now. Caught 3 channel cats and whole lot of bullhead cats. In my area gates have been up all the way in the mornings snd then close completely around noon. then open gradually after that until the night where they open up again.

Gates all the way up ,throwing chicken liver at the gates and getting nice fish from . 16 to 26 inch. . Nailed 16 stripers at one gate using liver with a 2 ounce weight. The biggest fish have been coming from the Westly area.only a couple on soft crappie lures,and a nice black bass was a treat to catch.

Nice catch !!! Going back out tomorrow,couple of guys at work have been finding big cats hiding in the shadows of the irrigation cutouts. The MEndota is flowing hard but the bite is on.
