  Report: FISHED FROM SAFE LIGHT AT PEDRO ON THE 3RD. COULDNT FIND OUT WHAT THE HECK WERE DOING. THERE WAS A COLD FRONT BEFORE THE RAIN THAT HAD THE FISH REALLY CONFUSED...OR WAS IT US THAT WAS CONFUSED? FINALLY IT ALL CAME TOGETHER LATE IN THE DAY. TO BAD IT WAS AFTER 3PM WHEN IT SHOULD BE. FOUND FISH UP RIVER AT ABOUT 45-55 FEET OF WATER. KEYED IN ON SOME WATERFALLS HEADING UP RIVER. I ONLY STUCK FOUR FISH IN ABOUT 50 FEET OF WATER. TRIED MY FAVORITE PURPLE/BLUE BUT HAD NO LUCK. THEN I SWITCHED TO A FOUR INCH SHAD PATTERN WORM ON A 1/8 OZ. JIG HEAD AND SHOOK IT ON THE BOTTOM. BAM!...........FOUND THE KEY. 3 FISH WENT ABOUT A POUND AND A HALF; ONE FISH WENT ABOUT THREE. THAT WONT WIN TOURNAMENTS BUT IT APPEASED ME FOR THE TIME BEING. HOPE IT GETS BETTER AT TOURNAMENT TIME!.........

  City: Medord, OR

  Tips: dress warm, expect wind, SLOW DOWN, these ish love Smelly Jelly, drop shop 16-18" above sinker, wide gap SHARP hooks, i you even suspect your line was bumped, SET THE HOOK, ish can be seen in warmer creek channels shallow, but many are still deep, invest in a big trout plug or lure as it is the bait o choice or 10lb+ bass in this lake

  Report: my local club (the resno bass club) had a night tourney. it was my irst night tourney (7pm-7am). i used ull size black/red brush hogs. the bite was tough; it was the hard-hitting bites that everyone told me there would be. i carolina rigged that brush hog on a 1/2oz weight and pitched it to the bank......my big ish was only 3.78. Next time ill save my time and energy and go to the delta!
