      Report: Fished out of the Break Saturday. Picked of two large stripers while fishing for Largemouths. Landed three largemouth bass for 6 lbs. All fish caught on oxblood spadetail worms pitched along steep banks with wood and current. Fish were hitting aggressively attacking the worm on the initial fall. Once the worm hit bottom, no amount of twitching, dragging or swimming would entice a strike. Fished the cut on the way toward Sherman Lake.

      Report: TOUGH DAY FOR MOST AT THE SHAMBRE INVITATIONAL ON SUNDAY. WINNING WEIGHT OF 8.0 LBS. CAUGHT BY PAUL ROBINSON & SCOTT WILLIAMSON WERE CAUGHT MOSTLY BY WORMING THE NORTH FORK IN THEIR VARIOUS HOT SPOTS. BIG FISH CAUGHT BY JACK GODSEY ALSO CAME ON A WORM. MY DAY WAS FRUSTRATING AS THE FISH WE HAD GOING ON THURSDAY JUST SEEM TO DISAPPEAR. MANAGED TWO SMALL SPOTS, ONE ON A SPINNERBAIT AND THE OTHER ON A CRANKBAIT. LAKE HAS TURNED OVER SO MOST FISH ARE RELATING TO THE BOTTOM DWELLERS LIKE THE POND SMELT AND CRAWS. LOOK FOR A GOOD WINTER PATTERN FOR FOLSOM IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS OR SO.
      City: ROSEVILLE

      Tips: WORMS IN MORNING DAWN & WITCHES T ARE GOOD, BUT START LOOKING FOR THOSE SLOWW ROLLED SPINNERBAIT FISH COMING ON SOON.

      Report: We ished the Pit arm o the lake on Sunday 11/14. The morning was cool and breezy with clear skies. The ish were deep 30-60 eet. Spooning and shaking worms produced the majority o the ish,which were not many. A ew in the 13inch range,but most were smaller. Fish are scattered unless you can ind a ball o bait ish. A lot o the ish are suspending in deep water. Several storms are predicted or this coming week which should improve the bite. The bite changes daily depending on the weather. Be prepared to throw anything orm top water to 1 ounce spoons and everything in between.

No real pattern unortunately, however, the better ish came on a jig and blades. Jig ish caame shallow while the blade ish came o rocks in about 15 eet o water. Used both a Texas rig and C-Rig or our plastics. The C-Rig seemed to produce better ish than did the Texas rig.

      Report: Launched at 1pm. Fished for 2.5hrs. No hits, no bumps, absolutely no action at all. Even hit the usual 'gimme' spots using the usual 'gimme' baits, still nothing. Watched one guy fishing get sprayed by some idiots in a ski boat with a wakeboard tower on it. About four guys wakeboarding. They are out there quite often and are a menace. If you see this boat, make a complaint. These guys shouldn't be out there.
