Went to Picacho over the weekend. Fishing was kind of slow, but i managed to find a couple hot spots saturday afternoon. The rest of the weekend i was stuck at the launch ramps not able to go out, where the fishing was incredibly slow and i only managed 2 largemouths, and a bluegill. I didn't have a boat to take out tho so it kind of sucked, but i took my jet ski out and fished off that looking for spots. I caught some pretty decent sized largemouths and a few small catfish around 2-4 pounds back in taylor lake off plastics. I headed down about a mile or 2 from the launch ramp to where it pools up behind this long stretch of sandbars into a little lake eventually and did pretty good there. Got a few n ice largemouths, a striper,a nd a couple catfish, flippin texas rigged worms, and plastic crawdads into the tules and into hole along them. A couple hours before sunset i pulled up to the shore on the edge of that sandbar where the water would come across the point of it and run into a pool wiht no current. I threw a jerkbait on my rod and started throwing right into the current about 10-15 feet before it ran into the part with no current. First cast i pumped the thing in as fast and hard as i could and immediately hooked up wiht a nice drag screamer. Fought the thing for a couple minutes and had it leap a few times but it came off eventually probally from a poor hookset since it was a jerkbait. Looked to be a nice striper pushing double digits. I hooked up again doing the same thing a couple casts later to something else nice but a little smaller and lost it. It seemed about every other cast i would land a fish doing this, and i began to catch some nice sized fish also. Also caught my PB smallmouth i the same spot. Measured in at 15.5" and had a nice fat bellie on it. Great fighter as well. I ended up catching penty of stripers and smallies in that spot in about the next hour and a half and then headed back in. I did end up taking a couple fish picture as well so heres some that i have.
