It has been raining and storming here so much it was putting a hurt on my fishing. 
Finally cleared off and is starting to get hot. Had a couple things I had to do first off so I got a late start. Dropped the boat at 9:00 a.m. and fished until 2:00. Not a bad day at all. Here at Balboa the bass seem to school starting in May and today I found a few that would. The first two hours I chased schoolers. They were hard to see because they were mostly just boiling the water under the surface. Tried top water but they would not touch it. Went to a chrome red eye shad lipless crank and they would hit it. Lost a few and boated 12. Nothing all that big but just some nice keepers. Felt good to stretch a line. The wind came up and you could not tell where they were. I am sure they were still there but with the waves the boils were impossible to see. Water depth was 45 to 60 feet so the bass were suspended.<br /><br />Moved from that area and went less deep. Fishing in 15 to 27 foot with a shakey I picked up 9 more. Those bass were holding along drops with sunken bush. At that depth I had to use the shakey more like a drop shot in the deeper water. Had some fun and I will take 21 bass in five hours any day. emoDance Jmax<br /><br />Thought I would throw in one of the bass I caught just for effect. emoBig
