Went largemouth fishing Friday and Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday. Found small bass at 33 Hole and 3 Finger Cove in about 15 ft. Bite was aggressive on Saturday afternoon and spotty on Sunday - almost postfrontal. Surface bite or ripping a jerkbait on Friday and Saturday. Sundays bite was tube bait pattern. Moderate to light wind all three days. Relatively calm back in the coves. Sunday surface temp 68.8 degrees. Saw one other boat bass fishing at the head of the Las Vegas Wash on Sunday afternoon.
Saturday 2:00 P.M launch at Boulder Basin was the worst I've seen ramp congestion all year. 2 large crafts tied up blocking exit and launch and someone who couldn't figure out how to load their boat. Park Service needs to address launch access situation I'm thinking. 4 ft swells Saturday evening around Saddle Island coming back in.
Striper fishing on Sunday looked to be mostly bait and one guide (Jim Goffs) was trolling around the Wash on Sunday afternoon with clients. Saw Baysport Sunday morning.
A couple of brief flurries of surface action around 5:00 P.M. at head of Vegas Wash.
Anyone patterning largemouth now?
