    Report: Looking at the marina web page this morning and we are getting dangerously close to not launching boats. Current water level down to 370 feet and dropping slowly. Once it hits 360 feet, the lowest ramp located in Granite Bay will be close to being out of water. There are NO other low water launch ramps that I'm aware of so if anyone knows of any please advise.

    Tips: Lets PRAY for Rain!!

Moved to main body took a few, went up south fork and finished the mornining with a few more. Nothing exciting, just nice pleasurable day of getting out.

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Jim Scarlett, post your fish in the photo section! We don't care if you supossedly showed it to some other basser, that "line" doesn't validate your catch. I'll be humble and awe at your catch if it's real but I'm calling BS right now. I enjoy being proven wrong, honestly, so do it.

    Water Temp: 63

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: On water from 2:00-5:30pm. Cloudy, light winds, off-and-on rain. Nice weather change. Worked the Beals area again. Caught 3: two 2 lb spots at 15' and a 2.5 LM at 28' on dropoff coming off a shallow flat.

    Tips: Look for bait ball + fish patterns on graph, then drop your bait right there. The closer you hit the target, the better the bite. Light-colored plastics worked best for me. No swimbait or crank bites.
