      Report: Took a couple o days o last week to hit the hot Amador bite. Fish were hitting just about everything I threw. On 4-3 I had 25+ ish to 6 pounds and on 4-5 it was 30+ to 5 pounds. O course the ish were shallow and stupid, but it sure is nice not having to work or your bass once in a while. Ripping worked pretty well in the mornings and plastics did well in the aternoon. Also hit some nice crappie on jigs. The big ish on 4-5 came on a brush hog being ran over the top o the weeds.
      City: roseville

      Tips: It was the irst time in years I didn't see a bass over 10 pounds during a spring trip. I know their in there, but I guess it just wasn't time or the big mama's to be there.

      Report: Fished down south rom 5:30 to 2pm. Put just over 20 in the boat, mostly 1 and 2's with ew 3's. I lost a brush-hog ish along side the boat that was probably an 8 or very close. Ater about ten minutes o kicking mysel or screwing up one o those ew big ish opportunities my girlriend boated a 7.2 on a senko. The majority o our ish came pitching senko's around isolated tule clumps and docks. I also took a ew on a brush-hog and a spinnerbait. With one exception, the brush-hog ish averaged about a pound better than the senko ish. Also ound a ew locked on to the beds. Caught the same male twice but no play rom the emale.Lot's o bassers on the water today. Most were catching ish. We saw several 4's and 5's boated close to us. I'm sure the Tournament results today will be outstanding...

      Report: Well ished last sat & sun out o the Break, water was like chocolate milk rom all the wind we got on thur & ri.Location seemed to be the ticket and, it was not around the break.Sun at the Hook tourney I started out there at the north end by the pilings - not a bite. Ran to Emerson ished next to two other boats or about hour & hal - nothin'. I cranked speedtrap's two colors, liped senko's two colors, and a brown 1/2 oz jig w/purple Yamamoto grub - not a bite! then i got to thinkin' what Cooch said at the wiegh-ins or Western Bass on sat , that he did a change up on his jig pattern that worked or him. Said he went rom brown to black - 1/2 oz to 1/4 oz - added a rattle and blue pork! Said they were killin it So I rigged up on my way to Taylor through the 5 mph zone,hit the point by Angles and lipped a nice 2.5 on that jig under some allin over tulies 2:30pm gota go 3pm weighin.Back to the meat wall or ew lips then to the scales with one ish and mighty proud o it- (Western Bass sat 109 teams 44 blank-Hook sun 49 teams 8 blank!) Cooch man tells it like it is! Thanks Cooch! From talkin to some rats ater the tourney most o'em was doin the same thing,speedtraps,rattletraps,senko's,and jigs just ishin clearer water I think.Cant wait to get back out there to try and igure these ish out. One more thing -- Sat. Crappie isherman & Hawwaii dude 22lbs First place Congrats!!
      City: Tracy

      Tips: I think ya need to head to the back end o sloughs to ind the clearer water,I helped work the scales at the Western Bass tourney on sat and by the color o most o the larger ish I'd say that's the ticket.But i ya stay in the mud stu add some noise,brite color and plenty o smelly-jelly
