I was gonna go fishin', but #!$@! it's cold!
Cold, clear = stay home and study...and surf.

OK, so I've been off the subject for a while. (steelies instead of bass) But despite the cold, pre-spawn is around the corner.
It's just about time for me to switch gears.
I'm thinking trout plugs, big worms & crawdads at Spring lake and smallies around the Lake Sonoma dam.
You up to it Samurai? Maybe in a couple weeks depending on the weather.
I still haven't climbed aboard the MS Slammer bandwagon but I'll get a couple of 'em before to long.

If the rivers are prime though, I'll fish steelhead... until the season closes at the end of March. The way things have been going, when the river is good, the bass fishin' won't be. The Russian seems better when it's still a bit on the muddy side, right after a rain. By the time it looks "steelhead green", there are so many people fishing for them, the bite shuts down.
The window of opportunity is small, about 3 or 4 days so the interests shouldn't clash.

By the way, I hear Spring Lake is really low, like a lot of lakes and rivers. Pray for rain.

tight lines,
Chris
