I've seen quite a few of those out here in CA. Here is a sort of strategy. If you get one over 5 come in no matter what time of day it is. If you get one between 4 and 5 in the middle of the day come in if you get it in the morning, wait until middle of the day. If you get one between 2-4 early and the fishing is tough in your mind, come in. If the fishing isn't that hard, keep him in the well and try to get a bigger one. If it gets to mid-late in the day and you haven't caught a bigger one, come in. Always leave 2 hours to go out and catch a big one unless you have an over 5. If you have that, you come in at any hour. This is all dependant on the lake. Here in the Delta those weights work fine but if your are on a spotted bass lake, you might need to think in the same ranges but lower weights. It's just one idea. Others come in with anything over 3 lbs at any hour.
