      Always windy there. Next time when you have the chance try the rock wall by the outlet side. Last year I caught like a 6 pounder there and lost one. That after bay hold some large mouth bass and maybe even a dd large mouth this time of years. I caught my around this winter when they feeding along the rock. Will good luck if you ever go out there let me know i can join you ans show you some hot spot i always hit when i there.

    Hey Greg, Im from fresno and my wife is from Oroville. So, whenever I go fishing with my brother in law in Oroville it seems like I am always grinding for a bite. I fish lake Oroville few times and I've found out that those bass eat bite chew on plastic lure. I do bank fishing vs your kayak so I dont get the whole kayak advantage. I tell you why your ned rig worked was bc in my experience Oroville bass seems to key on plastic lure most of the season, I dont know why but, its been like that since I can remember. Hope this helps out. C ya later 🎣
