    Report: Got to the lake around 11:00 and had some followers on jerkbaits on secondary points but no takers. Slowed down with finesse worms and small jigs in the main lake area. Did not get a bite until 4pm and caught 4 fish within an hour back to reaction. As the water warmed up I found the fish to move up shallower.
    City: Clovis

    Tips: Jerkbaits on secondary points leading into the coves with wind. There seemed to be a mudline where they were holding shallow (2-4 ft).

    Report: First trip to the flat in many moons. Made a mistake by taking the 'long' ramp so headed to Island park and unloaded. A few guys around at 6:30AM and weather was, well sorta warm. Had shorts on.

    Headed straight across the lake for the rock wall and saw two boats tossing rip baits right in the 5mph zone. Go the rock walls and not a good sight. Found my trolling motor mount busted and tail light lens pieces inside the rail. Back to the dock, trailer in, boat on, headed back to Santa Maria. Long frustrating trip. Maybe next time!

    Report: Got on the water around 2 pm. Landed a small fish on a rip bait in about 7 feet. Then caught a nice 2 lb salmon on the rip. Found some bait and started drop shotting. Caught about 3 keepers and 3 more dinks in about 10-15 feet. No topwater or blade bite. Bait was scattered on the surface in windy gap. Left at 5:30 pm.

    Tips: Drop shot 4 inch worm was about the only solid bite i could find. Windy gap on up was the best areas, lots of bait up there.

    Report: Great day I went off the last report. Started in windy gap area with a MS slammer did not get first bite until 7:15 4.5 pounder i had a huge bass hit it but did not get the hooks. I continud down the bank and cought 2 more in the 3-4 pound range. It was about 8:30 so i ran down across from big creek with my huddleston rof 16 in the silver blue back. 4th cast 8.5 pounder 3 casts later a 6. I went 2 more hours with no bites thats when i hooked MO got her to the boat she looked like possibly the world record spot. I have caught alot of 10 pound blacks and she looked bigger than anything i have seen. As i was getting my net she made 1 final run and broke me off. After a few minutes to calm down i made a cast in the same spot i hooked the MONSTER and caught a 5 pound spot. From there i just kept going down the bank i caught 3 more over five pounds. Decided to call it a day. I caught all blacks with 1 spot and the huge spot that broke me off. all in all a very decent day!!!
