4/30 Wish I had something to report...
 

Tried in numerous locations above the bridge yesterday...Didn't see many boats, not much bait, and couldn't catch a single fish....Sounds like most of my spring so far...Thank god the fall was very good to me....

At least the weather is turning...Good luck to all this weekend !

Don't worry Mike; you're in good company. I've had a terrible spring (as far as catching goes). We did better during C/R. I think many of the fish left early this year (at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
I only see me doing a few more trips and then switching over to bait/livelinning soon. I may get Baldy to teach me how to jig a few fish until the spot return. Maybe I can learn on perch and move up to rock:D.
5th (Marty)

If I get out today or tomorrow I am going to bait and lures....

More fun to me that way anyway and if I am not catching anything either way....rather be doing it by relaxing and doing a little jig :)

Hang in there.

IMHO - I think the good bite is coming next week.
The water temps have stayed cooler then normal. The fish spawned and stayed in the rivers / upper bay. Plenty of bait and cool water - they are content to stay there until water warms enough to push them out.

So far 2010 has been awful for most when compared to last 4-5 years.

Cool......guess i won't put my trolling stuff away yet.

I am just tired of fishing and ready to start catching...Maybe the blues and the croakers will show up soon....

Caught a nice sized croaker 12" south of the 301 (Nice) bridge, lots of Channel cats (16) in the 2-5 Ib but got no hit from the Rocks. We were trying for anything at the power plant but not much luck.
