    Water Temp: 70-73

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: 4:30 a.m. launch and 100 M.P.H. winds. Well maybe not 100 but REAL big wind. Found a little place to hide and fished about 200 feet of bank with the boat against the rocks. From 5:30 to 6:08 I caught a 2, a 3, a 4, and a 5.5 largemouth. All were good looking fish. By 8:00 a.m. I had a respectable limit. I caught them all on the big fat Senko.
    City: San Leandro

    Tips: Early launch insures you tearing up your spots 1st. Enough people know the area I fish. Exactly 0.3 miles from the barn, third tree on the left, exactly 4.3 feet off the bank durning the 4 ft. tide right under the clouds. Just kidding about the spot but the Fat Senko was working. Last digits 297 bi fat green pumpin Senko.

    Report: fished west Delta with no big fish but lots of fun. Three limits - 2 1/2 to 4 1/2. Fish came on Beaver,drop shot & senko's. Key seemed to be tight to the tullies.Comment to Rico-Basically your rigt about shareing spots on line. The purpose here is to share technics,whats working now,& how your working your water to get results. Giveing away the prime spots you have cultivated is not the deal ,unless someone feels generous enough to do so.

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Caught 4 fish by 10:30AM, clouds help. two over 3#s, largest was 4-10. Look for spopts with timber, tully and submerged vegetation. Flipped 4.5" swimbaits and swam them out to the boat. Also check out windy points with sparse tulies. Missed a couple on the frog bite but it was my first time trying the rage toad.
    City: San Ramon

    Tips: Flipped the swimbait to the most shaded spot, let it fall to the bottom and swim them out slowly.
    Don't get stuck in one spot. Some of them look so good but no fish. Keep going.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Fished with Scott today and we had a tough day. Caught 12 fish with 4 over 3lbs. The water was as clear as I have ever seen it. Used drop shot, spinners and chatter baits. Tried to stay on the move and stay out of the wind as much as possible. The bite this year is so much different than last year at this time. Fished from Tiki to Union Point. Most fish caught near tullies. Topwater was not productive at all for us.

    Tips: Try different tactics when the bite is not on. Keep changing until you figure out what they want. When all else fails got to your GO TO bait

    Report: The Stockton "Ports" baseball Team and a fan got a day on the Delta. The California BASS Federation Nation volunteers launched out of Ladds this morning and I headed up river near 14 mile slough. Stayed on the main body of water all morning using the Black/Blue Senko in the tules and when the tide went out we fished out side the weeds. Our morning was good, lost four 4-5 pounders at the boat but boated three nice larggies. The morning ended up with 15 to the boat. With the full moon the fish still were going all day, never stoped catching.
    City: Rocklin

    Tips: Use also horney todds and Senkos, fish slow and wait.
