South San Gabriel

On May 9th, 2009 I was able to go fish fish the river. The previous two trips were unsuccessful ones, during the spawn, go figure. I did not catch a single bass on those two trips, but I did have a couple of chances. I lost 4lb fish on both trips, I don't know what happened! This trip was to be much different though. I caught a few on top water, that is always fun. The Green Sunfish and Red Breasted Sunfish were going nuts over that Strom Grass Hopper Popper. Then on the deep hole I caught a 3 #r on top and saw a bass that would go close to 5#'s. That was the biggest bass I have seen on the river, ever. Then I switched to the craw on a jig head and caught some nice fish. I then lost another 4#'r. F*CK! I went to my favortite hole and did'nt scatch anything. Last hole was slow until I hooked a 4#'r and had another following it. It broke me off on 8# TEST. MOTHER F*CKER! That is the way my fishing has gone this year. I do have a few pix though.
