    Water Temp: NA

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Bite is still pretty good out there. We caught most of our fish flipping a red craw. Deep tules next to rip rap on the outgoing tide. We didn't have to much top water action only a couple small ones and a couple blow ups. Best 5 went 16 lbs with a 5 lb kicker.

    Tips: Bite was best on a high outgoing tide for us.

    Water Temp: 68-74

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Launched out of lazy m 12:30 pm outgoing tide. Fished itilian slough first couple hours, tried punching, flipping, senkos, Alabama rig, no fish. Buddy got one good bite punching but wasn't able to hook up. Left and went out to the main channel only to find extremely muddy water and tons of debri. Made a run to the back water and threw jigs for a couple hours landing one 4.5 lb half tail banged up spawned out female. Tide bottomed out returned to itilian and threw Topwater got ok action but no hookups.

    Tips: It was very hot, only thing I can think of is go early to avoid boat traffic and sunburns. I also saw a lot of carp, they seemed to be everywhere, don't know exactly if that affects the bass at all just weird seeing that many

    Report: Launched B&W 7am and went straight to Sycamore..on the way, decided to work some tules on the Moke just around the bend from Tower overpass....immediately hit a 3.5lb w/eggs... proceeded to catch a few more 1 lbers and moved into Sycamore. worked tules and cuts with senkos and caught mostly dinks, barely keepers, and a few 1-2lbers, but mostly little guys. still had fun...just feels good to get bit. Used mostly blk neon (blk/red flk), junebug, and monster shad senkos. brother stuck a couple on brown/prple jig and creature.
    City: folsom

    Tips: We just worked the tules, cuts, transitions, and inside/outside weedlines, but not sure if that's really a good tip to catch anything sizeable...gets bites though. We did see a few bassboats working flats and shallows, so we assumed they were searching for beds. I might be wrong on that but it seemed like it.

    Water Temp: 62-67

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Friday we fished Whites Slough, Little Potato and Sycamore Slough.Good Delta breeze all day, but not too annoying, actually helped the bite. Fished tule island points, with current and the rock walls. First half of the day (out going tide)was slow with just a few bites and two fish in the boat. Senko's and zoom lizards in california 420 color scheme were the ticket on the tule's. Bite was off the chart between 2:30-5PM,rising tide....soft plastics bite got better......the crankbait bite was exceptional.....red/red&orange was the ticket...had 30 fish in the boat at the end of the day (all C/R). Most were in the 11/2-21/2 lb. size with biggest about 31/2 lb.s

    Tips: We seemed to have more action where ever we could find current with deeper water close...points of tule islands and rok walls. don't get stuck on one color, change it up....the fish are there and willing...just figure which color they're attacking.
    BE CAREFUL,WEAR YOUR P.F.D. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

    Report: Caught 10 fish in Sycamore Slough but nothing over 2.5 lbs. Senkos with some form of red caught all fish except for one on a crankbait. Blades, topwater, chatter baits, and numerous cranks did not get bit. Action was very slow early but turned on near high tide. Saw several large bass cruising but could not interest them in any offerings. Any suggestions?
    City: Stockton

    Tips: Great day to be out – sunny with clouds and a slight breeze.

    Report: Dog, In looking at past input from forum members it looks like you have only offered criticism. Not one report. That makes you an A-Hole. As for your ADHD issue you can get help for that.
    Unfortunately you are born and raised an A-Hole.
    You can't get rid of that one.

    Report: launched b&w 7am and straight to sycamore. no bites til we worked almost all the way in to the split. picked up 6 on blk/red flk senkos. moved to the outside of the slough entrance and threw red lipless cranks for 4 more and 2 more on senkos. off the water at 130pm.
    City: folsom

    Tips: none. we got thrown off by the weather change and just couldn't really adjust to get things going. just the brief honey hole area up sycamore and then last ditch crankin' just to try something different. any tips are always appreciated!

We caught around 25 fish inside mildred alone flipping green pumpkin/blk flake 6'' senkos. The average fish was close to 3lbs with multiple fish in the 4-5lb class an the biggest goin 6lbs. The best part of the day was seeing a 12 year old lip a 4 1/2lbr ,he was soo excited.That was his biggest fish hes caught so far! Then when the tide started going out we caught then on blades on the points in Latham...

    Tips: Senkos an blades in Mildred an Latham slough...

    Water Temp: 63

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Started at fav tule island around the corner B&W; no hits...decided to go straight to Sycamore where we had good action last weekend. However, because it was a low incoming tide and last week was high outgoing, we found the south rockwall and tules were hitting better....not sure why but we took note of that. 20+fish day with virtually all coming on 5" senko in blk/red flk, monster shad, and smoke/blk-prple flk. used bang craw/shad combination scent. pitched to tules, cuts, pockets, and tules jutting out from main strip. biggest fish were a 6.5 and a couple 4s...4.5 and 4.4. rest were 1-2lbers and a few dinks. brother also picked up a few on brown jig and creature. but more consistent bites were on senkos on the drop or working out to the weedline.
    City: folsom

    Tips: not sure...what we did worked for us...just worked the tules and cuts in 4-10ft. we were in low and incoming tide. going into sycamore, all rockwall/tule sections on the right. left side produced a few but not like the bite on the right

    Report: Launched B&w about 8am, fished first set of tules with RedEye Shad in craw/chartr belly for 4 barely keepers. Then pitched brown jig with junebug craw trailer for two more egg carriers, 3&4lbs. Moved to dock and next 2 sets of tules but no takers and the wind was pushing my tracker 185 at a fast drift so we moved up to the island just outside Sycamore. Picked up 4 more egg carriers between the tules and inside weedline, 2,3&4lbers. Moved into Sycamore and had a great senko bite all along the tules and rock wall. Brother also picked up a couple on craw/yellowbelly speedtrap and a couple more on the jigs, but mostly monster shad and blk/red flk senkos. Pretty good day, even with the wind.
    City: folsom

    Tips: Not sure if what we did is already well-known or if we were even on the current pattern. jigs pitched to open pockets and cuts gave us our bigger egg carriers. wacky senkos at the tules and cuts gave us lots of action; also continued along the rockwall stretches between tules just popping the senko away from the rocks as it settled. Also, I'd work a few cuts and corners 3-4 times and then my brother would work them behind me and get bit...funny! crankbait bite was good for a few but wasn't really turned on for us yet. Probably just due to our choice of where we worked 'em.

    Report: Friday 3-29-13, my buddy and I launched at 9:30 AM from Holland Track Marina about 1 hour after high tide. We made the long run to Mildred Track and fished that area the remainder of the day. Fish were first caught in 2 to 5 ft of water and as the tide moved out, the fished moved out to 5 to 10 ft. My buddy caught most of our 18 fish for the day. All fish were caught on dark colored Senkos rigged wacky style. The biggest fish caught was 3 lb 2 oz. with the estimated weigh of 12 lbs for our best 5.
    City: Pinole

    Tips: The fish should be on their beds. However, we only saw cruising fish. Perhaps the fish are so skittish that they were off their beds before we could see them.

    Report: Found a reaction bite this morning around tulle islands near Franks. My buddy was not greatest caster and had fun catching the bucks so I sought out cranking areas all day. He boated 7, I boated 10, but lost 4 and had 4 followers too. Biggest was 7-1/2 pounder! (Striper though.) I did manage a few spinnerbait fish too.

    Tips: There is a reaction bite if you don't mind chasing bucks. Caught spinnerbait fish in sparse tulles. Use Speed traps or BDS 3. color did not seem to matter. They seemed to hit after the bait reached the deep edge of weeds/grass.
