      Report: Thought the exceptionally high tide would produce good topwater action over weed beds. NOT! Caught a lot o dinks...I mean DINKS...barely able to get the whole hook in their mouths. Finally, caught a 5# 1oz rog ish about 8:00, switching to Senkos and crankbaits or the rest o the morning. The crankbait bite was pretty strong on numbers but a lot o small ish. Only managed 4 keepers in the 1-2# range out o about 20 ish. Senko bite was slow but did produce a 3+ at 11:00. Best 5 went 13.5#. The entire morning had moderate cloud cover (which is why I stayed with poppers and buzzbaits waaay too long) and changing winds. Most ish were in current but the big rog ish was deep in a shade pocket. Got o the water at noon. No ski boats. No jet skis. One cruiser. I think I'll ish mid week more oten!
      City: Fair Oaks

      Tips: Smaller ish seem to be schooling. When I ound one ish in current, there were several more in the vicinity. Bigger ish have been isolated recently and mostly relating to shade.

      Report: Fished middle delta rom 5:30 to 2pm. Caught a ew buzzbait ish early on black buzzbaits. Switched to crankbaits as the tide dropped...red craw color...caught over 20 ish up to 2 1/2 pounds. Towards the bottom o the tide, we lipped Senkos next to weed lines or a ew more ish. At low tide and during th irst part o the rising tide, we caught rog ish with the best 2 going 2 1/2 and around 4 pounds. Overall, the bite was red hot or numbers but no big ish.Had cloud cover all morning but couldn't buy a rog bite until the clouds burned o and the sun was directly over head.

      Tips: Frog and Senko ish were relating to shade pockets. Crankbait ish were in current. Top water ish were over thick weed beds.

      Report: Fished the Pro-teen on Sunday with a great young man named Joey. We caught a decent number o ish (12) with 4 solid 2-3 pound ish. About hal our ish came on rogs beore 10am with the rest coming on Senkos and one spinnerbait ish. The rog ish were tentative. I missed two good rog ish early that could have won the tourny or us. One o them was big...it clamped down on the rog and literally ripped the legs outta the bait! Fished several colors o rogs but all the ish came on white rogs.Senko ish came next to isolated oshore weed patches with deep water nearby.
      City: Fair Oaks

      Tips: Shade, shade, shade! All but one rog ish came either in shade or immediately at the edge o shade.

      Report: Sometimes its good and sometimes it's not. Monday morning went down south, Victoria and got 30 bass beore 8:00 on wht/wht persuader spinner baits and cht persuader buzz baits, most o the ish were 2-lbs.Tuesday, to Dissapointment had a 4 & a 7 come up on a rog didn't set, had one about 10-12lbs on a Slimy Slug along with some 3's on the slimy slug and rog about 20 bites on the rog.Wednesday, "Everstart" went to my big ish hole down south, and lost 4 good ish on the slimy slug all over 4lbs, then over to Coney and lost one about 5 on a spinnerbait and one I never saw on a jig. Now it noon and have 9lbs or 5 so I picthed the Frog Mossback or ther rest on the day and got a 4 and ended up with 11lbs.Thursday I needed over 20lbs so I started with the Frog around Franks and had 4 good ish on and lost every one by 6:30am. By this time I think someone put a hoax on me. Back to Whites and Dissapointment and I watched several 10's swimunder my Frog but not bite and I did manage to loose 2 good ones up there on the Slimy slug. For the day I had over 20 ish on the Frog but only had about 9lbs total. That's my Story

      Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

      Report: Went with a number o tubing and kickboat buddies to the Southern Delta and the topwater bite was on! Hit both the outgoing and incoming tides and only during the slack tide did ishing slow a little. I ended up with 17 ish, 1 on senko 16 on BUZZBAITS! No real size as the biggest was only 3lbs but un day on the water. A Bass-n-Tubes buddy had the Spook bite going and ended up catching between 35-40 ish. His ish were bigger as he landed a number in the 3-4 lb class and had a ew more on (one that put a nice show on or a couple o us!) that were about 5 lbs. He did get a couple dinks on senkos and another buddy caught about 10 on spinnerbaits. Others in our group caught ish on a mixture o baits with the largest going 7 lbs on a buzz (too bad it wasn't me!). Anyway, great day on the water! Can't beat a topwater bite!
