    Tips: its tough to launch a boat larger than 12' aluminum but the water level makes it easy or walking the banks. spinner bait is the toll o choice or most, but i have great luck with cinco's and true motion sotplastic lure's yes they work.

    Report: It was slow going today. Caught a ew decent largemouth in the morning, using worms and jigs. Then it shut down and I couldn't get a striper or even a cat to take home.Deinitely didn't catch near as many as 50+ like the previous poster. That guy must have been using top secret military issue bate or something.
    City: Fresno

    Tips: Lure suggestion is to email previous guy and see what the heck he was using. I tried just about everything in my tackle box but had little luck.
