      Tips: FOR ANYONE FISHING THE DOCK AS I DO,TRY JIGS IN A VARIETY OF COLORS,MOST FISH TROUT AND CRAPPIE MAINLY HIT THE WHITE ONE BUT IVE SWITCHED UP COLORS AND CAUGHT MANY MORE THAN JUST ON WHITE...... AND THE BASS LOVE LITTLE JIGS WHEN ITS COLD THEY DONT HAVE TO EXERT A LOT OF ENERGY TO HIT IT.

      Report: Trout is ok to catch, when the big hogs aren't. Mr. Bassman, a 5 lbs. trout can't shake a stick to a 5 lbs. BASS. A Amador hog will snap a trout pole like Bin Laden's neck once our Special Ops get him. Don't get me wrong. I like trout ishing, when I'm up in the streams o the Sierras, but pound or pound, give a kid a 10 lbs Bass to battle and he'll probably not go back to mushy powerbait ever again.
      City: Stockton

      Tips: Catch and release BASS so they can eat more trout and get nice and at.

      Report: All o you olks out there that are talking about the report I posted on 12-11,I'm simply stating that I come to ncb to keep up on the bass ishing. I understand that this time o year is trout time or Amador but why not start a trout ishing site{or is there one already?}Perhaps my comment on a REAL sport was a bit extreme, but I didn't realize it was going to rule so many eathers and Craig you were right I didn't have anything to do that day, so in closing I want to apoligize or the real sport comment.I do a little trout ishing rom time to time, but I would never post the results on this web site.I'll keep my eye out or the green boat and you keep your eye out or the man with the ull livewell.

      Report: I made three short trips to Collins in the past week - each trip about 4 hours, starting about 8:30 AM. I ound the ishing to be quite good, and the quality o the spotted bass was excellent! I had a riend with me on two o the trips and one solo trip. I believe we had 23 in the boat total or the three trips, and my best limit was 18 1/4 lbs - all spots, including 4-9 and 5-0 lb spots, caught about 8 minutes apart!! I caught a 4-8 spot on the previous trip, and the last trip produced a 4 lb largemouth and a 3-1 spot. Can't get those at Oroville! All were caught on Rodstrainer jigs with Yamamoto grub trailers - two or three dierent colors. We were ishing around the islands and in the river arm. Did not ish the east side. Most o the bass were 10 to 22 eet deep and seemed to be moving up at the lake illed. It may be muddy now, since the rain will not stop. We tried crankbaits with no success.
      City: Yuba City

      Tips: Just ish jig slowly, but swim them over the really bad rocks!

The 34, a salt and pepper with a yellow tail accounted or the biggest at 2.6. at 930 the bite came to a screeching halt, we went to the giant orange where he paid up and bought me breakast AGAIN! that is 13 in a row, you would think this kid would get this igured out, he almost had me today though. water getting a bit murkier each day, more debris loating around especially upstream in the pit arm.

      Report: this is in response to Mr. Justin or his rather intelligent "ishing report" he made back on 12/11(obviously he had nothing better to do that day). heres my best tip just or you...go ish...maybe you'll relax a little. Thank you much to Jim or his outstanding point on the subject on 12/15...a real sportsman. although its not my intentions to be so blunt Justin but isherman like you make the sport ugly. who cares that the report says BASS ishing report? There's trout in this lake too, is there not? Catish? Crappie? etc...why can't we all make the best o this site and appreciate the ino and tips that one contributes.Fishing is ishing. Enough about that. As or the "sounds like a challenge" comment, we'll probably being doing quite a bit BASS ishing in early spring, Justin, so keep your eye out or a metallic green boat. We'll bring the beer, you supply the cheese and "WHINE". There maybe some un on its way. We're up to the challenge i you are!
