    Tips: Fishing clearer water was key Monday. But, that can change...hell, it probably already has.

    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: Fished south delta all day, started on tulie island south end of woodward with no takers. Moved back to entrance of woodward fished our way in, my buddy caught one and i snapped one off on the hookset. We jumped around the tulie islands in the area with just one bite on a jig wich i lost because i didnt check my drag, didnt bury the hook on the set. We moved further south to Coney island, last two hours of out going tide my buddy gets on a good buzz bait bite while i was throwing a frog, i had two good blow ups on the outside edge of weed/cheese matts before i lost my frog up on the rocks, then tied on a buzzbait and helped my buddy out with that bite. We got 6 fish on the buzz bait and missed 6 others, best 5 going 13lbs.
    City: Modesto

    Tips: All fish came off tulie/rock banks, the buzzbait fish were holding on tulie clumps outside the weed/cheese matts.

    Report: Worst wind I've come across in some time.Trying to control a 21' boat with a 101 lb minnkota on 90 was NOT what fishing should be! It finally calmed down in the pm and found some decent water to fish but counts were nothing like two days ago.Had to laugh at the dinks that would hit a 6" senko!

Fished Senkos and Dropshot in and around docks.Most of the morn.a few fish to 2 lbs.I tied on my small shellcracker and stuck 2 4lb fish right away. as we moved around more docks I stuck 3 more fish in the same range. Should have retied. I lost my bait to a pig around a piling.That was the only bait we had. hard lesson learned. But a good day over all.
