Is it me?

[shortdraw]

Went to Eldorado today and yes it was windy, but could only catch one little dink. My question is is it me or is everyone struggling now here? I caould find them on electronics but could not get to bit no matter what we tried or used....

It's me also, spent a lot of time on Pomona today and caught a couple dinks. Very long day, ready for summer.

Fished Pomona on Saturday with not luck. Saw one crappie caught by a bank fisher in North Shore Marina. Water temp on main lake was 52 and 55 in the marina cove.

I think it just about everybody. We were at Glen Saturday. Water was 46.3F at 9am and 49.4F at 5:30pm when we got off the water. We marked fish so thick I thought there was no way we could mess it up..... we finally cuaght 1 drum, 1 big female crappie and a nice 20" walleye. All in the afternoon when the sun finally came out. Everything we marked and caught was in 20-25ft just off of breaks. We were trying jigs, jigs and minnows, minnows. Even threw on a slow death rig after we caught that walleye. We checked a few brush piles and they were just about as deserted as the boat ramps. Just not quite happening yet. We headed home with the 30mph winds, but with the warm overnight temps, I wouldn't be surprised if they started bitin' today as I believe the water temps would have been in the low 50s.

Same here...was at Lovewell Sat., the morning was calm, but the afternoon brought 28+mph gusts. Main lake surface water temp was 44.5 at 9am. Only boated one 7" black. Marked a lot fish along river channel breaks, but only light hits and no biters to be had. Tightlined in 10'-18' and was using plastics. I too, refuse to use livebait. Pretty sloooooowwww.

Lucky and I struggled at HD on Friday. We caught a few in 10 ft a few in 20 ft and a few 30 ft... I'm going turkey hunting for the next two weeks.

I was out there in the STRONG WINDS also on a guide trip and was able to put some nice females in the box. Our pattern of the day was to go very slow and fish ledges where rocks and mud come together. The females are laying on bottom at this transition. Our depth was 5-7 FOW. Here is our biggest fish of the day. It went 15 and my customer lost one at the boat that looked to be bigger. Our pattern has been the same for the last 3 weeks. El Dorado has produced many nice fish this year but it's hard to figure out. Keep your head down and your rods in the water!!

I was out Friday afternoon\evening, it was pretty cool on the water and enought of a north breeze to almost make me put on my coveralls. The fish i found were all on rocky banks also, deeper than Shane's fish, proably 8-12ft deep. Couldn't buy a bite on timber, brush, channel edges, open water, shallow, etc. First fish was a 14in crappie, then it took me a long time to find 4 more nice keepers, but when they bit they bit with a solid THUMP.
