    Report: Sunny, warm and no wind. Fishing very slow. Shad about 40 to 50 eet deep. Bass on worms on points about 30 to 50 eet deep. Texas rig, split shot and drop shot all produced using plastics.

    Report: Started out very windy. Pulled up to my starting point where I caught 3 bass on a buzz bait last weekend. Ater 4 waves broke over the bow o my 19.5 oot stratos I told my partner Terry we better move. I ished the east side most o the nite to avoid heavy winds. Caught 0 all night. My partner inally caught a suicidal bass on a crank bait about 6:30 am. only good thing to happen all nite is they waved the extra $12.00 they nailed me last week. A very special thanks to Leutenant Dan . He also handed out little lights that go on your hat so you can cut out the bird nests that I got all nite long. My partner was gettin them on the irst 2 spinning rigs he used? He started out with 8 rods all rigged and ended the nite with 3. I lost count.
    City: s.v.

    Tips: Drag 1/2 oz. jig won our tournament. Dragging I guess. Funny but thats what I did 80% o the nite? Or carolina rigs in 30 to 35 eet o water o points. Try Anderson, Calero or the Delta. I hear the sinko bite is on in the Delta i your around moving current.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Pre-ished or a nite tournament comin up. Caught 3 bass on a white buzz bait around 4.30 p.m. my partner caught one on a split shot rig 6.00. Around 10:00 I stuck a 3 lber on a pig and jig. my buddy caught on more on a black grub. We slept rom 11 to 4am. Caught one more little bass in a.m. on another grub . The boat traic during daylite is rediculous. Also the State o Caliornia must be getting a little tight? I paid $12.oo bucks at 4:oo p.m. to ish and launch. When I let at 11:00 a.m. next morning they nailed me another $12.oo bucks. This is an outright rip-o.They said I could have been using a campsite. I I was in a campsite instead o being on the water their little ranger would have cited me. I thought Camanche was a rip-o. Ater a 150 mile trip they rob ya and send you home.Guess I ish Anderson and Calero more. Or the Delta.
    City: s.v

    Tips: Don't go to San Antonio unless you have too. Too much bait in the water right now. Fish are ull o every size bait and ry you can imagine. Go with reaction baits I guess. Avoid South shore banditos.$ 24.00 bucks or 20 hours o shitty ishin is too much.

    Report: Arrived real early for a change,got to the ramp about 5:30 and not a vehicle in the parking lot.So i was just going to launch and wait for a little bit before going out.

    When i put the boat in the shad were all over even jumping out of the water so the Striper's had them cornered by the light at the ramp.Fished for a little bit for them but nothing.I left and ran down to the slide and started bass fishing.Started with a Spook and picked up two Smallmouth one 15" and one 17".

    Then ran down to Bee Rock and started in the back nothing.So then ran back out to the north point outside Bee Rock and picked up 6 more.All the same size between 15" and 17" Six fish on Spook and two on Jerkbait.

    By then the fog cleared lake lice woke up and i went home.Of the water about 10:30,cant wait till after next weekend we might get our lake's back.
