Report: Had a Great time at lake Isabella started to throw a Lunker Plunker around the points and scored a chucky 3-4 pound bass. I later broke out a River 2 Sea S-waver and hammered a couple of bass off a point. I lost about a 8 pounder on the s-wave. I most say the crappie fishing is off the hook. I will be back as they say, want to get the one that got away. tight lines, Chief

Tips: Wind has the big play this past weekend, when the wind was up the bigger fish came out to play.
