I fished a small Toys for Tots tournament on Saturday at San Vicente with my buddy Cameron. It's a charity event, and a toy and small amount of $ gets you entered into the tournament. I figured what the heck.

Cam and I started in the back of Kimball. We had 8 bites in the first 20 minutes of fishing on the Eagle. Only one fish in the boat...a 4.25lber for Cameron. His first Eagle fish. Again, they just wouldn't eat the bait! We each had one more bite each a little later on, with the fish coming completely out of the water to hit the baits! Pretty crazy stuff. Not giants, but they looked like 6 lbers or so...

The weather was real tough for the trout baits. It was bright, blue, and calm wind all day long. We spent a lot of time with 'em and didn't get very many followers or anything. We got the rest of our fish on worms. I haven't even thrown a worm in the last few weeks!

The fish seem to finally be staging in areas near the bottom where you can catch em on worms. They've been sorta suspended and chasing bait.

Mike Long was there, and he weighed 22lbs, and the winners weighed 24 lbs. They got their fish on spoons and plastics...

Cameron and I weighed in 14.5 lbs for our limit....
