Thanks,

Opening day was slated for Sept. 22nd and from what is on the Ticketmaster site it's sold out. Sorry i can't help ya with on your gear question.

Should be lots of shad, match the hatch. crank baits, jerk shad, the blade. I never fished San V in the yak, but it was one of my favorite SD lakes to fish.

I'm gonna be there on opener with fresh line and all my big baits. Fish have not seen a lure in 8 yrs.

Any reports from those that have gone to San V? I am going Oct. 6th and not really a bass guy. Thanks

lots of big fish. I caught 20 over 6lbs.
use heavy line because of quaggas.
senkos and swim baits

Guy at the counter at Anglers Arsenal said there was 100 bass floating on top of the water due to barotrauma. He said the dying fish were netted up and given away. Have not heard of this before for bass. He was saying great fishing, but not for long with that happening.

Excellent write up in this week's WON.

Pulled this off their Facebook page:

A few 30lb limits in the first 2 hrs! Couldn't be more impressed with the turn out of this lake! #sanV — at San Vicente Resorvoir.
