Re: Largemouth & Spotted Bass Numbers in NorCal Lakes
I know it's not a motherlode lake, but Berryessa seems to produce a good variety of all 3 subspecies. Oroville's LM population seems to be making a small comeback as well.

Re: Fuel brand an additives?
There are only two oil refineries in CA where we are getting our fuel from. Doesn't matter where you fuel up, its all the same. So if you want to pay the extra .80 cents a gallon putting chevron in for no reason instead of Arco or Safeway, have fun wasting your hard earned money.

Shouldn't take too long. Just dip them in for 5-6 seconds and manipulate them until you feel they are soft. Hot water shouldn't affect the hooks/ body where they protrude from. Should be just like boiling swimbait tails.
