    Tips: Use watermelon red, junebug, and green pumpkin colors. Texas rig 3/4oz weight. Watch your line the fish are sucking in the bait and just move a little so the strike is hard to feel. Look for moving water the fish are very active on the main channels.

    Report: My partner and I started first light down south today. 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.

    Tips: Senkos and small worms have been working for me early. Tried something different and payed off.

    Tips: I love bass fishing. However, I don't want to keep a boat yet. If you have a boat and need a partner, I can come out on weekends and share the cost of running your boat and have some fun together.

    Report: Ditched the boat again this time because of the weather and boy was it a good day just walking the bank. First fish a solid 4 lber. Next cast to the left a solid 3.5 lber. Right then I knew it was gonna be a fine day. Missed a few then another 3 lber. My 7 yr old nephew was with me and he caught a 4.3 lber and a 2 lber weighed on the digital scale. Took some pictures and video for memories. 7 fish total for me and 2 for the young pro-angler. He even got big fish for the day :). All fish caught on various plastics, jigs, and one on a spinnerbait.

    Report: Started Late Saturday in the Wind and some Rain after most guys got off the water caught 3 nice 3-4 lb range largemouth and 2 about the size of my spinnerbait:). Also caught a 26" striper at about 7:30 along rocks near B&W Resort. I thought I'd done something on my spinnerbait when it took line and ran me around the boat a few times. Fun!!
    City: Sacramento

    Tips: They ate my orange and white double willow spinnerbait this evening. Got a few hits on a rootbeer senko but I think they were small. Also a few small ones tried to eat my frog. Hope the Frog bite is good this year it sucked last year for me.

    Water Temp: 60's

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Launched out of wimpy's, headed north towards snod and meadows, water was dingy so I started huckin' a white revenge spinnerbait/gold willow in the tree's, no takers. Headed south to find clear water, ended up in beaver a ways and started huckin' two different speed traps. Proceeded to boat 6 largies to 3.5lbs and 3 linesides to 16"
    City: Elk Grove

    Tips: Largemouth were right up on the rip-rap, stripers were a little deeper on the edge of a wind-blown mud line. Keep the boat in about 12' to 14' of water.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: In the morning, fished south end of Mildred Island. 2-5 feet deep in tule's near deep drop offs. Slight breeze, water clear. Used 7' Zoom green lizard on short Carolina rig. Boated 5 1.5# - 2.5# keepers in a couple of hours. Move out to Turner cut, got very windy, nothing. Then back to old river at Italian slough, VERY windy and water went to muddy (wind and wake boats) nothing there either. Left for home early.

    Tips: Look for clearer water later when the heavy wind and boat traffic picks up. Don't get stuck on one bait (like I am right now).

    Report: Got at 23 lb 5 fish limit this evening with a 9 lb kicker just camping out behind the sail boat club today. I did not get "BASSBUSTER1" launched until about 5:45 p.m. so I decided not to make any long runs this time. I used black jigs and 7 inch berkley powers worms. I was surprised to not even get a single frog bite this time.
    City: Stockton

    Tips: Keep changing lures and techniques until Mr. Bass tells you what he/she wants for dinner. :-)

    Water Temp: 65 - 70 degrees

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: I decided to leave my custom Valco Bass Boat "BASSBUSTER1" in the garage today and did family stuff. I waited for the last 3 hours of day light to escape on foot to the sail boat club next to Ladd's Marina. It was bottom out low tide and lucky I know the holes that still hold fish during this tide. One favorite spot at low tide still holds 3 ft. of water. She was home and hungry. She weighed 9.1 lbs. on my Berkley digital scale. Tonight could have been a good night for night fishing as I walked the banks and noticed many spawning bass during this low tide. She nailed this black/yellow frog with anger. My gear: Quantum US Tour Edition Heavy Action 30 - 100 lb test, Quantum Energy reel, and 65 lb. test Power Pro Braid.
