      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.

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

      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!

Lots o small ones and an ocassional goood one 3 or 4lbs. Most o the better ish in these ares have been on a chartreuse Helix "like a senko" draggin it thorugh the weeds. Yesterday we had over 20 blow ups on the rog but most o them wern't taking it very good and we missed hookin up. We got 2 decent ish and lost 2 big ones on a chart gold Persuader spinnerbait.

      Report: Took guide trip with Randy Pringle. Excellent day on water. We caught many ish in 3-5lbs range, with one over 6lbs. Mostly on top water, buzz baits and slimmy slugs. Probably caught 35-40 ish or day. Tip o the day stay in clearer water. Caught a ew lipping but top water was an all day bite. This is my second trip with Pringle and was taken to a dierent part o Delta S/E area. Man makes it a great day. The trip would be worth the money just or area knowledge, catchinga bunch o ish and learning some new techniques every trip is a plus.
