The meat I got (I am WAY out of practice with the fillet knife....):...

Here is a typical example of a spotted bass in California...

97 fish today split between the three of us.

40 me
37 buddy
20 buddies dad.

From dink to over 3 pounds. The vast majority were slot fish (12-15 inches) many females with eggs still to lay.
...

36 fish between the two of my buddies. Not quite on fire, but very respectable.

All packed. Just waiting for my friends to get off the lake and come get me. I eagerly await their day 1 report, but I know it is gonna be awesome. Just a little wind to deal with.

MolBasser

This.

The reports keep getting better. I figure if I do well on numbers on Saturday (which I should) then Sunday I am gonna throw a big ass swim bait for hours.

That's a nice delta bass.

My buddy and his dad are coming up to fish Oroville this weekend for 3 days, and I got on the boat for 2 of them.

The lake has just lit on fire in the last few weeks. 100+ fish days per boat are...

I hope you have plenty of tortillas and salsa!

:) Awesome mess of fish!

MolBasser

Peanut oil and soybean oil. In that order.

I really like peanut oil, but soybean is plenty heat resistant and neutral.

Some people feel that peanut oil is too flavorful for light fish like...

Almost certainly "her", and given the electric fillet knife and the guts on the table....I'm guessing those were some good tacos!

I've had some bluegills eat some monsterous baits compared to their size. They are voracious.

Missed the pinned thread (d'oh!)....Newbie move, but here is my rig in the proper thread.

Dude, come on up to Oroville/Chico. I'll split gas on the boat and bring as much beer as you can drink.

Good news, my best man is coming up in two weeks to meet his dad in Sacramento and then drive up to Oroville for 3 days of fishing, and I'm invited.

Bad news, they are both rabid bass fishermen. ...

I've gone almost completely braid, but use a fluorocarbon mono leader in most cases. It is kind of a pain tying surgeon knots on the water when you get break offs, but I find I get more bites with...

I'm about to break down all my reels for inspection and lube. I will take pics of the said washers. I use carbontex, the difference between these washers and stock washers is night and day. The...

C'mon people, you have to have an opinion!

I first did my light tuna stick reel (a heavily modded Penn 500) and figured, hey, this is awesome, I should do my bass...

As a side note, I remember that day being very hot, and me being an idiot.

Please wear your PFD when in a kayak or small vessel.

I didn't see a tackle subforum, so I figured that this was the best bet.

I post, my friends, in support of replacing all your drags in your reels with greased carbon fiber drag washers. I have...

Same fish on the water....

Anyone who has caught crappies on Oroville, I would love to hear from you (and love to fish with you).

MolBasser

Thanks again. It will take me a few weeks to get my legs in this forum and sort out what is what, but I feel I have information to offer. I have lots of experience of fishing from a yak, for a...

I'm not worried. Crappie are crappie. I'm sure I'll learn a ton.

Yeah, I like the kayak platform for fishing. It only really sucks when the wind doesn't cooperate.... :)

Just joined the forum and am looking for fishing partners in the Chico area.
