The lake level is high and the water is clear. The water temp is warm and the tucs are active. My brother-in-law and I had some exciting sight fishing action, lobbing our baits at cruising tucs. We released seventeen runts under a pound, eighteen between 1-2 lbs., six between 2-3 lbs., and two 3 lb....

Aloha Bassin' Assassin. I too remember the C&C outfall and the shoals of tilapia at the surface there. The tuc bite beneath the floating tilapia was fantastic during certain times of the year. I also remember fishing a lot of shore line around the lake during low water levels. My favorite area t...

Skunked - Your recollections are similar to mine. I recall that during my younger days: -I used to see and catch from shore a lot more largemouth and oscars than nowdays; -Shad were so plentiful that they used to jump onto the bank when the tucs and bass busted into them along the shoreline; -I used...

chris16 - looks like you and your dad had a great day on the lake. 5-1/2 lbs. is a nice-sized tuc. And a bonus largemouth and channel cat to top it all off. Good luck and good fishing.

Bassin Assassin - Keep at it. There are good spots and not-so-good spots all over the lake, so it's a process of elimination. You mention that you usually fish for about an hour, so I assume you're a shore fisherman. An hour doesn't leave you much time to scout an area thoroughly. As I've mentioned ...

Dub-O-7 Bassin Assassin - The tucs we've been seeing and targeting are cruising in small groups or packs - they are not in pairs or nesting. Like you, we stay away from nesting or guarding pairs. Most of the big tucs that we broke off yesterday, we spotted them cruising the shoreline alone. We too h...

Hi Jeff - We use three different kinds of live bait, that we catch wild in a local stream: (A) 2 to 3-inch long liberty mollies. These minnows are common and are called "medaka" locally. Go to fishbase.org and do a search for "Poecilia Salvatoris" to see what they look like; (B) 2 to 3-inch long til...

My brother-in-law and I fished today (as you've probably figured out by now, my brother-in-law moved back to Hawaii from Texas last month). The color of the lake is back to normal. The water level is still high in the California grass, and water clarity is very good, about 3+ feet. The action today ...

Hey leoric, don't forget - I'm a shoreline guy too, just like you. The lake is actually relatively small, there are a lot of boat and shore fishermen around, shoreline access is extremely limited, and so there really aren't any "secret spots" left on the lake. But the "secret" spots that I focus on ...

The tucs that my brother-in-law and I have been hooking, including the big hump-head males that we've caught during the past few weeks, are fish that are cruising the shoreline. My guess is that these cruising tucs either have not yet nested or are in between spawns. Personally, we stay away from di...

Hi Jeff. Try using a 9-10 ft. medium to heavy action saltwater spinning outfit with at least 20-25 lb. test line, 3 or 4 oz. sinker, three-way swivel, and strip of squid (cut from squid that you find frozen in a small box in the freezer section of your supermarket). From the beach, throw your bait o...

Aloha Stan. I usually fish for only 3 to 4 hours so it may just be a timing thing. I occasionally see you passing by in your boat - you're one of the two or three boaters on the lake who are courteous and actually slow down when passing shore fishermen (we greatly appreciate that - thanks.). Other b...

Jeff - We used live bait.
