I worked for the state as a student assistant for 2 years and I got picked up a few days ago as a permanent( I took the test a few months ago) . Take as many tests that you qualify for! I would also apply for a student or seasonal job also (they do not require tests, but it can help you get your foo...

Hey James,

Like Lewis Black says, "Only the good die young, but pricks live forever!", and that lake is full of them (at least in the summer!).

I was there last Thursday and Friday. I saw them in most of the major coves. Most of the large fish that I saw were in around 10ft. Saw a few spawning, but the majority of the fish I saw were bedding males. Couldn't get any of the big ones to hit.

Anybody have this rod/how is it?

Went out to Folsom on Monday. The water was really muddy. I was fishing about 10ft than all the sudden "bump", hit a nice granite boulder! Could not see the damn thing!

Not much, there were a lot of traffic from the trouters. It looked like all of the fish were really deep (40+ feet) but I could not catch a thing (bass). We did catch a few trout with small rattle traps.

Thanks for the info guys. I tried one at Amador because of the recent plants but no luck javascript:emoticon(':(')
Sad

Just wondering if you guys think its too late in the year to throw surface swimbaits, like an MS Slammer?

Has anyone seen red or blue crawdads at Folsom? I have only seen a few and so far they have only been brown/green pumpkin color.

Hey Dom, I was there about a month ago. Throughout the day, I would see schools of small bass chase shad to the surface, you would see nothing but top water commotion all over the place, we caught a few on spooks. The frog bite was ok in some of the coves with a little bit of slop in the corners. Di...

Sounds like you need a drink Dave!!!

Hey Ken, I have Curados, Chronarchs and Shimano Scorpions. All great reels. Since I am now on a limited budget, I tried some Quantum reels. A while back Cabela's had a special (buy the reel get a rod free) with the Quantum Accurast. I forgot the model # but its the Accurast that comes in blue, red o...

NICE!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for the info. I will practice on a lot. I think the best thing as far as practice on the water, is probably on the Delta (again to avoid the heavy traffic on Folsom)?

Hey guys, We picked up our first boat today and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where would be the safest place to practice backing in and out of a ramp, and just practicing in general (we have never had one before or have driven a boat). I am close to Folsom, but I am affraid it wo...

Anybody try one out yet?

Man that was my first tournament on Folsom during this time of year, I could not believe how much traffic and how many water turds we had to dodge!

Thanks for the update Korny.

Tacklewarehouse has them. Fisherman's warehouse has them also (the one in Rancho/Sac, not sure about the store in Rocklin).

I have had a wonderful opportunity to be able to work for, and fish with Mark. He was great to work with, actually we didn't really work, most of the time we would talk about fishing! He introduced me to tournament fishing and helped me realize that it can be done (I had always been afraid to do tou...

How about Lake Amador with swimbaits? They are stocking now right?

Hey guys thanks for the help, I will definatly have to check it out. Hey Beach I will give you a call when I go up to Redding this summer to check the rods out.

How many boats showed up last year?

Anybody have this rod/how is it?
