    Water Temp: 72

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    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???

    Report: Went out of Wimpy's on the water about 6:30 AM and went up to middle slough where the bass were plentiful on 5" watermelon senkos (bass pro version)w/ purple flake up to 4.5 lb.. Caught only one on a frog that was right at 4 lb.. In total a 19 fish day in a small area and best five @ 22.6 lbs.. Left about 1:30 due to global warming.

    Report: Fished off the bank for thw first time. Bass seems more active. Fished Italian Slough and caught 4 to 3#.Bites were hard to detect. Look for weigth, when you get a bite. Some weedlines were way off shore.
    City: San Ramon

    Tips: Best is to fish at first light. And set the hook if the line feels heavy

    Report: Was fishing muddy to stained water the past 2 weeks with little success. Monday fished pretty clear water and what a difference clarity makes. Had 5 for 22lbs with 4 of them on topwater. Fished incoming tide from 10 to 3.

    Report: Sunday morning the winds died down for the Junior Bass Club, (NorCal Bass Ratz). The cold front that blow the day before made it tough but the Juniors still came in with their limits of 3 bass. Not big but a limit. Senkos worked the best for most in and around the rocks with tules. With only 2.5 ft tide moving work it slow.
    City: Rocklin

    Tips: look for those bass that are holding tight to cover.

    Report: Launced at New Hope and started at Beaver Slough; brother picked up a couple with a beaver tail (just a coincidence) on a football jig..took it on the fall. Zip for me trying t-rigged senko, lipless crank, money frog, and dropshotting Then moved to Little Potato Slough from the Tower Marina; brother picked up a couple more on the beaver working the tules. Moved to our fav spot along Mokulemne and I immediately picked up 3 on 1/2 oz gold/black Red-eye Shad, then 4 more on 1/4 oz orange craw Red-eye Shad. Lipless cranks seem to work for me on Mokulemne. Bro switched to same and picked up 3 more. Had three 2lbers and one 3lber as my decent fish; bro had same for his decent fish. Others were barely keepers but still fun to catch! Note: Also picked up a really weird looking fish..bass green color but long and skinny like a smelt or a hake but it took my lipless just like a bass...it threw the hook at the boat so didn't get a good look or a pic of it...anyone know what it is??
    City: folsom

    Tips: Beaver worked for my bro, tossed between tules and weedline or just outside the weeline. My lipless cranks picked all mine up, tossed right at the tules and in the "tule inlets".

    Report: Went out to Delta couple days ago fish around Orwood and Holland. Caught couple small frog fish and had some blow ups. Tried disco bay with no result at all. 5.5lb was the biggest of the day I caught, the fish was hiding in the tullies. Overall still pretty slow for everybody else.
    City: Fremont

    Tips: No Tip. Junk fishing is the key!
