I fished Whiskey Slough on Saturday... getting on the water late and fishing from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Nada on the black bass.

I did see a 5 foot striper that looked to be in the 50+ pound class lazily boil on some bait about 10 feet from me. That may explain the 30 - 40 bank fishermen. After seeing that beast, I switched fished a popper and pointer 100 for nada.

I was hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again. This beast was caught in 2008 on a NASCAR Popper, Rapala Skitter Pop, 1/2 oz., chartreuse & red (NASCAR colors).
