    Report: Went up at 6 am with buddy mark navarette. Cold and slow. Finally caught a few on jigs. A few on dropshot. Counted 36 boats and so close that when you caught a fish someone would get close by and cast towards you. Need some cold rain to get the cray's off the water. They will drive right next to you on plane or go by between you and the bank. Stay safe and good luck.

    Report: Got on the water at 8am. Windy and cold. Bright sunshine too. 2-3 boats aready there. 1 - 15 inch across from 2nd ramp to the right by the road. Small school of shad busting over there till 9. Fished the point from 1st ramp with about 8 other friends and bullshitted for an hour or so. 1 fish there and them caught 3 little baby's off the dam. That houseboat still sunk against the dam shure looks perdy. 5 m.p.h. buoys line out across the lake from the marina so you have to get off plane and tickle on thru till they fix it. This lake has too much pressure on it. Looked across at 10:45 and counted 19 boats all on the same holes that everyone in tulare county knows about. I don't mine but that awesome bite of years past will not come back till we get some good water years. Tight lines and good fishing.

    Report: I was at Kaweah last week. Water was really low which is norm for this time of year. About 11,000 acre feet I think. The small bass are chasing the shad balls throughout the lake. I've had good luck with shad lures. Crankbaits, ripbaits, dropshottin, flukes, jigs and even sonars. Good luck.
