Re: Help a fisherman new to the Sacramento area

russo's is a long drive from sacramento. if you like fishing frank's tract, i think it's shorter and faster to launch out of B & W or korth's pirate's lair off of highway 12. there's actually a lot of good bass fishing very close to B & W. PM me if you need more detailed help.
