    Report: Got on the water around 4p.m. Fished the east end o the lake near the campgrounds and headed up towards river ishing rock walls near bridge and grass lats on the way. Picked up one dink near campground in about 12' o water on an ice blue 6' worm. Lost another in same area. Got only one more in a cove o main lake on a 6' dark smoke senko w/ blue lake. Had one more tick beore we let and that was it. Dropping water level has the ish on the move unable to stabilize. Couldn't buy a bite on jerk bait or even topwater at dusk!

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: I took my cuz rom Alaska bass ishing with three other guys, all in one boat. We did decent though. I caught ive and we boated nearly twenty ish. Most came on live crawdads, but I picked up a couple on senko's and another guy got some split-shotting. Most were spots, but we caught three 14-15" largemouths.
    City: Corcoran / SLO

    Tips: Slow sinking, slow retrieve with artiicials. Live crawdads always catch spots and sometimes they get big loridas too. Don't plan on catching too many ish i you decide to go, but you should catch something.

    Report: Hit the lake around 7:30pm or an all night adventure. First cast with my ive-inch salt & pepper senko landed a two-pounder and that set the tone or the night. Fished across rom Slick Rock and ound allot o nice Bass around boulders and in grass till dark then ished the trees or Crappie with minnows. Action was great, this lake has huge Crappie. Caught over twenty rom one tree against a rock wall. In the morning the Bass bite was on again big time, I love it when the water is up. Got too hot to ish around 10am but had a great trip.

I caught two dink's but I switched to a 1058 and on one o my last casts a stout two pounder hit it hard. This was o the point entering Greasy. He must have thought he was a lunker the way he ought. Not much ishing opportunity, but I made the most out o it. Good luck evrybody!

    Report: Got there at 7:00 and ished till 11:30. I did pretty well, starting o in a rocky cove near the irst launch ramp. I caught 5 or 6 there and I kept moving down that same bank or a couple more. Once it slowed down over there I went to the other side o the lake and ished in the areas on both sides o the rock wall. I caught better ish over there. One 16" spot and a 4.5 lb. bigmouth, as well as some others. There was a cove that was ull o debris rom the river and I sat there or some time just getting bass on every other cast, they were mostly small though. Lake is hot. My girlriend even caught some

    Tips: Watermelon rubber worms. Best spots are weedy banks, especially i they also have some other structure.

    Report: Got to the lake around 7:30 went straight to greasy cove irst ish came at 8:00 on the dot almost caught it on a pearl white luke. Second ish came about 10. It was a male o a bed, with this ish there was a huge sow 7-10lbs easy. Spent an hour trying to get her to bite. she came in and went tail up on a wacky rigged Senko then backed o. i let and Came back later and she was still there but still couldn't get her. only cauight two bass but it was worth it to see that big one and to spend a day on the lake. Other guys ishing near me caught a ew on live minnows. My two came on the white luke and a straight 4 inch red plastic worm.
    City: Visalia

    Tips: Guys at Sierra Sporting Goods were very helpul in choosing the lukes. They said white was a hot color and it did work or me. Also slow it down a little and have patience there are some big ish in that lake.

    Report: up at 1130 tryed greasy cove irst not even a nibble with the senko, lizards, worms, and jerk baits at various depths. about 1230 moved to the irst point just outside greasy and nothing on all the previous baits except i threw a couple cranks as well. moved to the damn tryed all and threw a jig and still nothing. moved to the point directly across rom the irst marina. nothing there. so i am thinking these ish are all screwed up do to the riseing water. inally at 408 pm i got my irst hit. a 2 and a hal. on a lizard. and then at 415 got my second on a lizard again, a clone o the irst. then another clone on a senko. all keepers within 20 minutes. damn i had to be in visalia by 500 to pick up my kids.
