Fished Lago Escondido by myself on Oct 5 with the morning weather very cloudy and misty off and on. The lake is down 2 or 3 feet, and they are pumping water in at the dam. The place is beautiful, and the boats are really nice, with foot-controlled trolling motors and automatic wench-controlled anchors. Morning bite was pretty good on wacky Senkos. Sun came out in the afternoon and the bite slowed until dusk, when they bit on buzz, lizards and Texas-rigged worms. I caught 33 total with 6 culled. The average bass was fairly good sized, with about 10 that were close to 3 lbs. Biggest was 3lb 11 oz. I caught fish all over the lake - some along the dam, some around trees and some out of the lily pads in the back end of the lake.
