San Jose/ Morgan Hill, CA

68 degrees, overhead sun, wind 9mph

Arrived at about 2pm and walked to usual spot on concrete ledge.
I fished the ledge for about an hour or so and had no luck ( i got one good bite but it got away)
I fished using deeper diving crainkbaits and a few jigs.
The wind was pretty bad and i experienced some trouble accurately casting.
The water level was also about 6ft lower than when i went last.

From there i moved along the shoreline and fished along the shore as i made my way around a good portion of the lake.
I had no luck what so ever. The other people i was fishing with had did about as well as I, except one man caught a good 4 pounder. It could have been due to the wind or other weather conditions.

I usually catch a few largemouth every time I go, and i was a little disappointed this time around,
but im still going to go back and try again tomorrow.

I would recommend using red crainkbaits or frogs.
there is a lot of cover in some areas and no cover in others.
The best places to fish would either be along the concrete walls or in any of the numerous coves as the fish tend to enjoy them.
the water is constantly dropping but hopefully we will get a lot of rain this winter to help bring things back up for the spring fishing season.

Overall fishing here has been fair, i haven't caught any giants but i can see the jumping for most of the day.
Most of the fish i caught have been between 2 and 8 pounds with an average of 4 pounds.
Im still only an amateur angler but i am improving every time i go fishing.

Im attaching a picture of the last largemouth i caught here (from last month)
