Me and a friend of mine went to mission viejo today and couldn't find any bass. Usually there is a lot of activity in the shallow water around the whole lake, whether its small bass or bluegill or sunfish or whatever but you can usually always see some sort of activity in the shallow water. We didn't see anything this time nor did we meter too many fish in deeper water. We didn't really get a chance to look any deeper than 30 ft. but most of the lake is under 30 ft. The only activity around was all the trout busting the surface right near the launch ramp with a few big bass cruising as well and we saw a monster catfish there also, but as most of you know they don't allow us to fish in the marina.

So has anyone been there lately that wants to give us some advice on where to find some of these bass? Are all these fish really just in the marina area or in the small amount of water deeper than 30 ft. and what happened to all the bluegill and small fish?

Thanks
