This was the coldest week we've had yet at Santa Margarita, with it dropping down to the high 30 degrees at night and in the early mornings! The bite has been off all week with the shift in weather, somedays it is completely overcast and others it gets sunny around noon-2pm. Bass are biting down by the damn mostly and the panfish are still hitting at white oak, but mostly in the afternoon.

Water temperatures: 72-76 degrees
