Puddingstone Lake San Dimas Ca, Worm Bite   The day started out overcast but by the time I went to the lake it had cleared up it was in the middle of the day around 3:00pm it was pretty windy and difficult to cast a bait caster especially with no weight (fly-lined). I was switching off between a 4” Regular Torpedo (salt impregnated & fatter than a finesse worm) in a watermelon candy color on a spinning reel with 5 pound Sniper fluorocarbon line. I received a couple of bites on this bait but failed to hook any bass. my other...

Top Water Bass May 2016 Posted on May 21 by bassinthehood Top Water Bass 2016 Puddingstone Lake It was a grey May day when I headed out with a top water lure tied on one rod and a small grub tied on another rod as a backup.

The visual of seeing the fish blow up on the lure is exciting. After a couple of casts I ran into a fly-fisher who...
