    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Once again my buddy JP embarassed me on the water. We ished the North shore rom 6:00 am till 3:00 pm and got a total o 14 ish rom 2-6lb. For some reason the ish seemed to like JP's junebug waterdog much more than they liked my Banjo' Minnow. JP ended up with 12 ish and I got two. They seemed to be on the North side o tule points in about 4 - 6 eet o water.

    Report: Sight ishing was to 15 oot until the bassmasters. Wind & rain - ishing tulles where bedish might be was the ticket.The ish were hitting on senkos - watermelon in pockets o tulles just out o the current. No weight except a big hook.My partner ended up with a good check while I learned never to discount anything.

    Report: i went ishin rom about 6:00am and 3:00pm. I landed about 15 total bass and all were between 2and 10 pounds. First i started around Konocti and caught 2 nice 5-6 punders but it was only good ishing there early in the morning. Then i went across the lake rom konocti to a ew docks. I caught a ew large ones including a 10 pounder right under someones dock. The 10 pounder had been caught beore because it still had the hook mark. I used mainly spinners and nightcrawlers. Wow did they hit those spiners rom underneath the dock. Go across rom konocti and ish the docks. thats my advise to you. There is one dock with a slide that i caught 2 8 pounders on so good luck. I sure had a lot o un.

    Report: Launched in keys at daylight. Quickly lost irst ish, then second. Eventually landed 7 ish in the keys rom 5-12lb to 2-8lb. Fish were deinitly scattered. Found no clear pattern. Talked to numerous Red Man tourney guys in the keys and they weren't doing much either. Went out on the main body...big mistake...wind was up big time...2-4 t swells. Managed to get over to the Konocti area where wind was down a little...nothing there. Tried 5 dierent spots on that side. Nothing. Went back to the keys and landed2 more 3lbers. Not a good day. All ish on magic worms. Try again in 2 weeks.

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Launched at 7:30 in the Keys. First dock ished stuck a nice 6-15lb on a black/blue jig with blue pork. Wind was up big time. Tried lto get on main body and was amazed...no big waves on lake...wind was swirling and gusting but not bad water. Went across Windmill Pt and headed down below Konocti to a little private beach and dock where we caught ish last week. Tried same water, 12 t shakin' worms...nothing. Went around docks on shallow gravel beach and I nailed 11 nice ish, 5-4, 4-4, 4-2, 3-9 plus a ew other 2 to 3lb ish and it was great. 24-2 limit. All ish taken on magic worm #39. Water on the shore was real rough and hard to hold boat. Fish were moving up and down beach in the rough water 59 degree water, 6 t deep and they shut down about 3 pm. My partner had trouble in the wind with the worm bite and didn't land any ish but he had a great time anyway, (or so he says). Be back again on thurs the 7th or another try.

    Report: I made a late aternoon-night trip by mysel midweek and ripped a 4-10 and 3-5 beore dark on Pointer minnows. Fished 4 hrs ater dark and caught 6 rom 3 to nearly 4 lbs. Did not get that big bite! Was using big zipper worms. Fished mostly on hwy 20 side, up to Glenhaven.Guided Sat aternoon during break in storms and caught 5 on Rodstrainer jigs in about 10-20 eet o water on rockpiles. Bass were aggressive! We ished 3 hrs, had a dinner break, then went out at night, but only lasted 2 hrs - blown and rained o the lake! Only 1 bite at night.
    City: Yuba City

    Tips: Could not get a ish to look at a jig midseek. On Sat, they loved them. Go igure!! I think stormy weather put ish down in jig territory since rip bite did not happen ater rain stopped on Sat. With this active weather we are experiencing, don't be araid to try several patterns. And Clear lake is coming up ast!
