    Report: I took my good friend Gordon Ong out to fish black bass in Disappointment Slough yesterday. The fish were biting very good for me. I got my limit by 8:30am and caught Gordon's limit by 2:45pm. Yes! I said Gordon's limit. Poor guy didn't catch one keeper. But he didn't get skunked. He caught plenty of dinkies. My fish were all good eating size. Biggest was 3#! I caught all nine fish on the famous senko.
    City: Sacramento

    Tips: I rig my senko worm weightless in the head with a 3/0 hook. All I do is cast the senko into the cover or on the edge of the weedline and watch for your line to move. It it doesn't just lift your tip of the rod a bit and let it sink. Then if no action keep casting. Constant casting is what makes you get bites. Good fishin'

    Report: Hey guys check out this link:
    https://www.rokbass.com

    It is literally an untapped bass fishing country. YIIPPEEE!!!!!! Now I need to buy some gear to cover my 2 year tour here. What clued me in to investigate further was a fish market I walked by in Daegu. I saw live bass swimming around in a tank. Boy, did I get really excited. I found out there is a B.A.S.S. Federation Club right here at Camp Walker. I guess I'm not going to go nuts now waiting to go fishing again. When I'm able to I will send fishing reports soon. Cya for now.

    Report: Fished up North today around Paradise Point Marina and had a pretty good day. Only threw top water. Started off with a prop bait in a fire tiger and did pretty well with it putting about 6 or so in the boat. Right at dark I tied on a white buzzer and got worked over to the tune of about 6 blow ups. Lost one in the weeds about 6-7 lbs. and missed a few more fish but did manage to get a nice 4 lb fish in the boat. Guess I'll blame it on not fishing a buzz bait for a while. They seemed to want it moving just fast enough to stay on top. Most hookups came on rock banks with tules, behind the weedline closest to the bank. On the water about 5pm off by 8:30
    City: Stockton

    Tips: Topwater is still hot. I have done well lately on prop baits in open water.

    Report: Hey guys,

    I wish this was a fishing report. For the next 2 years I'm gonna miss the bass fishing. My job sent me over seas to South Korea for awhile. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I've been in country for 3 days and already miss the fishing. If you happen to see the Custom Valco Bass Boat, "Bass Buster 1", that will be my brother. Lucky him getting my boat and all the fishing stuff.

    Good luck with the fishing for the next 2 years and hope you all enjoy the fishing. I will be on line to check the reports. Cya all in 2 years.

    Report: My luck that at UOP I can go fishing less than 2 minutes away because that is how long it takes to walk from my room to the Calaveras River. I have been catching around 3 to 4 fish aday on senko, spinner, brushhog, and curlgrub. To my surprise I caught 4.5lber last thursday on a senko.Only fish for about a half hour to an hour each time I walk over and other students either laugh, stare, or rarely ask a how's it goin. I was able to make an outing on the delta on labor day and it was busy out on the water around white slough. Caught a whole bunch of fish but almost all little ones or crappie on a small wht grub. Did manage a 5lber on a senko at around 830am. I was shocked to not see any striper action on the surface or have any follow the lures.
    City: stockton

    Tips: Mostly went out to catch fish and did not care about size because I wanted to get out on the water and enjoy some fishin and get away from school and friends. Fished mostly weedlines and some tules, had a hit from any kind of fish every cast with the white curltail grub.
