    Report: Reports: I ished the WON Pro AM last weekend and pre ished on the 11th and 12th o Feb.The bite is tough but the ish can be caught by ishing EXTREMELY SLOW.The bass are holding on points in depths to 60 t.A lot o ish can be caught in the 25 to 45 t range.Use small plastics in shad colors or light jigs.Cover a lot o water and again ish slow.I the weather turns warm look or an aternoon blade bite to turn on.
    City: Windsor

    Tips: Small grubs and 4 inch worms in a shad color seemed to produce the most ish with a couple o blade ish mixed in.Dress warm and Fish SLOW!!!! The carolina rig seemed to work the best,but shakin worms will also produce.

    Report: Launched out of Blue Oaks about 4:00pm, started out throwing shad colored blade and rip bait(pointer/ghost); nothing. Moved out to 15' and started throwing a watermelon brush hog...slow and started catching them pretty well up until dark. We caught about twenty, most about 1.5lbs and the biggest going about 4lbs.

    Report: Fished the lake for the first time this Saturday. Water temp started out at 50 and by the end of the day was up to 58. I caught 12-15 fish, but they were all 13-14 inches. Caught fish from 10-30ft of water on dropshot and darter head worm. I fished close to the Fleming Meadows area, started at the mouth of creek arms and coves and worked my way to the back of them. Found most the fish about half way back. Threw a rip bait but NO GO, threw a jib but NO GO. What do I have to do to get into some larger fish?????

    Report: Started the day in Rogers Creek arm dangling jigs on steep rocky banks. Caught three at the irst stop, all about 25 - 30 eet deep.Averaged size 2.15 - 2.78 lbs each. Next stop was Six Bit Gulch, went right to dangling the jig, and scratched out two more, one sqeeker, and one 2.45 then about 1:00 pm headed to the River and tried throwing spooks, and nailed a 4.92! Even in 52o water! WOW! What a blast!
    City: Modesto

    Tips: Try dangling jigs! Sit on the ront seat o your boat and put the seat up so your eet do not touch the loor! This keeps you rom working your bait too ast! Serious! It really works! Try it!

    Report: Even without any help or reports we did pretty well. We placed well in a small club tournament. The ishing was pretty slow all around except or a reaction bite that we got onto late in the day. We ended up with probably 15-20 ish in the boat. And we had many more slaps and misses. The reaction bite was ull blown in the mid aternoon. Good luck to all. Also, Elk Grove bass is looking or new members. Check us out at: members.aol.com/elkgrovebass

    Tips: We caught them on everything. Swimbaits, plastics, spinners, cranks, etc. Just about everything worked alright. Good luck out there. Also, the key eature seemed to be wood o some kind.
