Customer Catch Story: Angel Valdovinos

“BassForecast really helped me catch my PB, My cousin is the one that introduced me to fishing when I started fishing in the summer of 2024 so I am still relatively considered a new angler but I remember when I started I went fishing about 30 times before I caught my first ever fish. It was a challenge but BassForecast really helped as I got to know what the fishing activity would look like beforehand. The forecast said it was a 4.0 so average bites the day I caught my PB, I fished Almaden Lake, In San Jose CA. I was using an underspin with a strike king rage swimmer in the Electric shad color. The water was murky like chocolate milk but that did not stop me from trying to catch a fish as I haven't caught a single fish in the month of February, and January until the 14th of February where I caught my PB which was a 8lber, It was really worth the month and a half long skunk but BassForecast really helped and contributed to the catch!
