    Report: I read these reports often so I guess I better contribute. Went out today and started early at low tide punching mats. Had the best luck with hyacinth hydrilla combo on the edge of the hyacinth. Got 4 in the 3-4 lbs range with a few dinks in the mix. Tide came in and wind picked up so I started cranking wind blown rip rap banks with tule clumps. Got a couple more 3 lb fish with a lot of dinks in the mix. Prob around 16 lbs for best 5. Good day for me.
    City: modesto

    Tips: 1 1/4 oz punch rig with sprayed grass beaver and punch skirt and delta craw speed trap did it for me. Good luck.

    Water Temp: 72+

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Got to "pink house" near Widdow Island by first light. stayed 30 minutes, threw everything. NO takers. I'm guessing the 6 otters that call this home have something to do with this. Headed to (south) Mildred Island. Fished tight. Nothing to brag about. Went back to Widdow Island and fished the entrance. Lot's of "followers" and even saw some in 5lb range but only aggressive males hit me. Ended up fishing mouth to Italian slough at high tide and got pounded by 1-2 pounders using green worms. Got hot out so i got the boat back on the trailer around noon. Left the marina and the temp outside was 94 degrees. Too hot to have fun.

    Tips: Haven't figured the pattern for low tide yet. High tide is good.

    Report: Launched out of Orwood @3pm. Fished outside of Indian Slough and got a lot bites, but many were pretty dinky. Fished a buzz and frog = 0. Crank and threw swim bait with the same results. My bud started catching them on a Ika. Until the last hour of light most of the fish were 1-2#. He was half of the double we had and they both buried in the weeds. We had to debate whose fish to go after first. He finally relented and we went after my fish first. . Somehow the small senko hook held, as we weed through and pulled out a beautiful 6-10! Then we also got his pounder in. What a great way to finish the day. Ran out of light.
    City: orinda

    Tips: Threw reaction baits without a touch. All fish on plastics. Even tho most of the fish are under 2#, it's alot fun.

    Report: Hey Stovepipe..thanx for gettin' back to me and sharing the info..very cool of you!
    Launched today from New Hope, tried Beaver Slough to start; one blowup/miss on black/yellow frog. Nothing else on senkos/beavers this slough; went straight to our fav Mokulemne tules around the corner from B&W; boated 8 between Bro and Bud; then Tower Marina/Little Potato into Potato for couple more each; then all the way around back to B&W tules for couple more. Good day but all mine were strictly lipless crank (red craw); Bro and Bud mixed bag on plastics, lipless, and spinnerbait.
    Thanx again Stovepipe!!
    City: folsom

    Tips: Worked outside edge of the weedline for my crankbait hits. Bro and Bud hit tight to tules for senko plastics. Graphed lots of fish during low tide at the weedline and dropoff 7-12'. Dropshot didn't excite them.

    Report: A friend an I launched out of Dissappointment and had a great day for numbers. We caught 41 bass. A couple in the 3 to 4 pound range, many 2 pounders, and a few shakers mixed in. The kicker fish still alludes me...until next time.
    City: Turlock

    Tips: Throwing senkos on rip rap banks seemed to be the most productive technique today. However, it seems like it changes from day to day for us. One day they are on a top water bite, the next, they won't touch it???
