LP 03 26 19 - draw down

Talked to prankster on the lake today about how fast the water is dropping. I was thinking ~4' - looks like it's down 2' from last Tuesday. Already exposed some Bass beds and I'm sure it's affecting the Crappie and Red Ear too. Water temp jumped into the lower 60s - starting to go deeper. Did get some jigs done but going to need more. Stocked up on some black and glad I did. Might start using an old wooly worm pattern...….

Why are they dropping the water? Nice looking fish though, as usual.

Nice.

thnx guys
Not sure why - but they are doing it on spawning fish!

Hhhuuuugggggeeeeee! Well done.

Some pigs right there and fantastic eating. Not to mention a ball of fun on ultra lite spinning gear.

thnx guys - always appreciate the comments

a55 - I'm not using the JDM UL rods as designed, need them for their casting (like UL surf casting) and their tremendous lifting power. Could not land a lot of fish with out these rods + copolymer 2lb line.

beautiful fish brother

I know that LMB gave you a time on 2lb. Some pretty colors on those gills too. Tough to troll here between the weeds and all the down trees.

Beautiful fish!!

LedHed.. I just got some good news info on the LP drawdown.. The Colorado water aqueduct has been down for repair work since March 4th. Work is now finished. Water is slowly coming back into Perris and should be slowly increasing over the next week or so. The fish should spawn successfully now. Not sure though why it went down so quickly. Hasn't been hot enough for evaporation.

I t might be hot enough, I was reading a post by one of the officials at Big Bear lake and they mentioned that starting in about April the evaporation starts to pull more water out than the rain and snow melt tend to bring in, this year I think he said might be about neutral for snow melt vs. evaporation.
