Colusa Levee Scenic Park Lake Report on 28th Apr, 2024
Well I was summoned back to the Striper grounds in Colusa Ca. And they didn’t disappoint! Boats were constantly netting fish
We started trolling with lures dressed with K Brock white worms that had various colors of tails, red, floruresent green, pink n plain white. Had several good bites and lost a couple but landed big fish of day on a lure.
Lure bite stopped so we switched to minnows.
Using yhe brand new K-Brock minnow rods, these rods are awesome! I can get you one thats discounted $100... First minnow dropped resulted in a nice 22” keeper.
Finished limited on minnows.
Nice big fish day. Those fillets
Were big,
Still booking days, pick Yours.
