That is AWESOME Slogin!

I can't even imagine getting into them like that; that would blow my mind!

Went out today, terrible, simply terrible!

I hope it rains hard soon, drops temp and cleans all of the debri in the water!

Thanks for a great post, wish it were me posting it though!

Many of the spots out west that I've been catching them are now void of any larger fish and very few schoolies. Sounds like many are to be found in the middle to east and north now. Thanks for the report...I have a friend from Reno and Sonora coming down next weekend to take on some linesides. Keep the reports coming.

Yeah went out friday late..was going to work but with all the cloud cover had to go fishing....launched at whiskey at 11 am and headed out to the san joaquin around the mouth of turner cut....fished some 6 ft flats and was using a "the one" in green white silver belly.....fished about an hour for one big swirl....then the giant blowup we all wait for.....fought the fish for 5-6 minutes....around the boat 3 times and a couple screamin runs then it goes slack....i bring in an open snap.....this lure has a concave popper head and the edge lines right up with the side of the snap....the fish made a quick move to the right and must have made the lip lean on the snap............gone........im still feeling the pain and i wont be using a snap on these lures.....my personal best is 32 lbs and this fish was bigger no doubt....after i stopped shaking and swearing for a half hour i caught a couple 5's .....hard lesson learned
