My second trip to San V this year, and found the bluegill and redear biting pretty good in the late afternoon. Even some lowly bass.

Dropshotting half a crawler gets it done. All fish were released.

Well done! Not much activity at the launch ramp.

Great job again! I'm heading out there tomorrow for those. I could not find them last week. Hopefully better luck tomorrow. Thanks for the update!

Wow those are some very healthy panfish . they almost look like they are not real . . Thanks for the report

Consider time of day. I can get the bass to bite all day long but 5 pm can be a light-switch factor for these bluegill/redear.

Agree, Friday late afternoon was a ghost town at the ramp. Weekends of course are a whole different story.

Here is a shot of the busy launch ramp last Sunday at 1 pm, A WHILE BEFORE I LAUNCHED:

Very nice.
Thank you, for the report, I'll be there monday morning trying to sharpen my skills.
Beautiful colors.

Tight lines

Those 10" bluegill and redears are the perfect size to harvest. They are large enough to filet, but not so large as to be taking a trophy out of the lake.
