    Report: My wie and I ished riday night rom sunset to sunrise boated 13 ish no toads but a typical night top 5 ish going 23-26lbs. ish are up tight to steep banks.best approach was up close and let it ree all down down the dpop os,and then just let it sitand slowly take up the slack. And i you come across deep weeds (8-12t) just slowly pull your avorite plastic through it,(10"worm,brushhogs,jigs they all seem to work).Did miss a big ish 5 eet rom my tube at sunrise on a rico!

    Report: Woke up around 5:30 and got on the lake at 6:00.I went with my buddy and we had previously had ished the lake and had great success. Today wasn't so hot though we threw everything in the tackle box and they weren't taking anything, so we decided to do alittle live bait ishing. Right when the lure hit the ater it went down. It was about a 8 pound cat. We ended up catching about a 2 pound bass o a deep diving crank bait.
    City: Burlingame

    Tips: the ish seem to be in deep water so try something that can get down there. Bill dances Excaliber worked or me. It was blue and silver.

    Report: Hit the water about 3:30pm. Threw a blade in Mountain or about an hour with no luck. Switched to a magic worm #39 and stuck two ish 1-2 lb range. Threw on a clown Rogue and ripped until dark with no more luck. Went into Jackson and threw a Red/Black brush hog and on the irst cast hit a 2lb'er. Fished all o jackson and only pulled o that one ish. Frustrated I went back to the main lake near the entrance to Mountain Springs. Got a good 10 quick strikes in the next 30 minutes but didn't boat any ish. At 10:30pm I stuck a toad that weighed in at 8.5 and was my last ish until I headed out at midnight. Fat emale that ell or the brush hog. Lotta people say the ish are up on the beds, main reason I went out was to sight ish and didn't see any. Last year I had a ield day sight ishing. Amador is my main lake o choice and ish it approx 40 times a year. Last year around April 15th I hit a 10.4 up on a bed. I think it should bust wide open anytime now. Water was a little stained rom all the weekend traic, give it a ew days to clear up and it should be allright.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: Good luck with dark colors, brush hogs seem to be your best bet or a magic worm #39 4". Rigged them texas/brass-n-glass. See a guy with a new 20' Bullet stop by and say HI!!!
