Fished Escondido on Saturday (Sept 12) with Andy Dear and his son Jackson. Andy and Jackson fished the morning and I fished until 2PM. 

Unfortunately, we all struck-out. We all had just a couple of hits, but could not land anything. 

Escondido is about 10ft low and getting very weedy. 

I had my hits on a very shallow running crank along the weed edge next to the bank. I tried unsuccessfully medium cranks, top water, senkos, chatter bait, paddle tail, umbrella rig, suspending jerk, rattle trap - nothing got a bite. Tried all the standing timbers with different lures and not a single strike. 

Andy and I agreed this was probably the worst day fishing we had encountered and are hoping that it was just a combination of weather and the low water level.
