      Report: Woke up around 5:30 and got on the lake at 6:00.I went with my buddy and we had previously had ished the lake and had great success. Today wasn't so hot though we threw everything in the tackle box and they weren't taking anything, so we decided to do alittle live bait ishing. Right when the lure hit the ater it went down. It was about a 8 pound cat. We ended up catching about a 2 pound bass o a deep diving crank bait.

      Tips: the ish seem to be in deep water so try something that can get down there. Bill dances Excaliber worked or me. It was blue and silver.

      Report: Hit the water about 3:30pm. Threw a blade in Mountain or about an hour with no luck. Switched to a magic worm #39 and stuck two ish 1-2 lb range. Threw on a clown Rogue and ripped until dark with no more luck. Went into Jackson and threw a Red/Black brush hog and on the irst cast hit a 2lb'er. Fished all o jackson and only pulled o that one ish. Frustrated I went back to the main lake near the entrance to Mountain Springs. Got a good 10 quick strikes in the next 30 minutes but didn't boat any ish. At 10:30pm I stuck a toad that weighed in at 8.5 and was my last ish until I headed out at midnight. Fat emale that ell or the brush hog. Lotta people say the ish are up on the beds, main reason I went out was to sight ish and didn't see any. Last year I had a ield day sight ishing. Amador is my main lake o choice and ish it approx 40 times a year. Last year around April 15th I hit a 10.4 up on a bed. I think it should bust wide open anytime now. Water was a little stained rom all the weekend traic, give it a ew days to clear up and it should be allright.

      Tips: Good luck with dark colors, brush hogs seem to be your best bet or a magic worm #39 4". Rigged them texas/brass-n-glass. See a guy with a new 20' Bullet stop by and say HI!!!

Drop shot robo in morning dawn, a couple on PopR topwater and shallow crank bait were the only producers. Thought there would be a big AM topwater bite and almost nothing.

      Report: Caught 8 bass fishing PM on Sat. Fish were caught on crank bait, drop shot, and one on top water. Fish were suspended in the water column in 15-30ft of water. Tried carolina rig and worm without a bite. Drop shot fish hit on the fall. Suspended fish are always a challenge for me.

      Tips: Use your electronics to figure out where in the wate column the fish are. Use the lure you have the most confidence in to target fish at that depth.
