I miss largemouth action

[Scott V]

But I got my fix today, that is for sure. Headed out to a private little lake my cousin lives on in Lodi. The fly bite was not happening, but luckily I brought a spinning rod with 3 - 4" reeper worms. So after throwing every fly at every depth for about 3 hours, I grapped my spinning rod. Fished for another 2 or so hours and caught around 15 or so largemouth on my 3 little rubber worms. Hopefully by next week these guys will be ready for some reaction baits. But I had a lot of fun with my spinning rod today. Almost every fish was sitting on the bottow, and the wind was blowing around 15 mph. But I had fun.

Those are some real fatties, Scott, even if you had to cross over to the dark side....

How was the water temp and clarity?

I like the dark side, there are more fish every now and then. As for the water, it was cold but not bad. I didn;t have my thermometer but I would guess upper 50's. Clarity was maybe 6-12 inches.
