      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Fished the lake for the first time this Saturday. Water temp started out at 50 and by the end of the day was up to 58. I caught 12-15 fish, but they were all 13-14 inches. Caught fish from 10-30ft of water on dropshot and darter head worm. I fished close to the Fleming Meadows area, started at the mouth of creek arms and coves and worked my way to the back of them. Found most the fish about half way back. Threw a rip bait but NO GO, threw a jib but NO GO. What do I have to do to get into some larger fish?????

      Report: Started the day in Rogers Creek arm dangling jigs on steep rocky banks. Caught three at the irst stop, all about 25 - 30 eet deep.Averaged size 2.15 - 2.78 lbs each. Next stop was Six Bit Gulch, went right to dangling the jig, and scratched out two more, one sqeeker, and one 2.45 then about 1:00 pm headed to the River and tried throwing spooks, and nailed a 4.92! Even in 52o water! WOW! What a blast!
      City: Modesto

      Tips: Try dangling jigs! Sit on the ront seat o your boat and put the seat up so your eet do not touch the loor! This keeps you rom working your bait too ast! Serious! It really works! Try it!

      Report: Even without any help or reports we did pretty well. We placed well in a small club tournament. The ishing was pretty slow all around except or a reaction bite that we got onto late in the day. We ended up with probably 15-20 ish in the boat. And we had many more slaps and misses. The reaction bite was ull blown in the mid aternoon. Good luck to all. Also, Elk Grove bass is looking or new members. Check us out at: members.aol.com/elkgrovebass
      City: Vacaville

      Tips: We caught them on everything. Swimbaits, plastics, spinners, cranks, etc. Just about everything worked alright. Good luck out there. Also, the key eature seemed to be wood o some kind.

      Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

      Report: Had a club tourney over the weekend and ished with the newest member in our club. It was our 1st time on this water and the air temp was hot. We knew water temp would be too warm so we looked or cooler water and ound it. My partner stayed with 2 methods. Senkos and dropshot. I had luck on lukes, jerkbaits, dropshot and even a crank ish. We made the 35 min. run to our spot the days o the tourney and wound up taking 1st with 22lbs and I took 2nd with 14lbs. My partner spanked everyone when he landed an 8lb'er. We took the heaviest combined stringer or 80 bucks. We were also the only ones in our club to catch smallmouth. It was a un time and there are some big ish in this lake. I had lots o un experimenting with dierent techniques.
      City: Anaheim

      Tips: Capitalize on the early morning surace bite. Fish in arms where it stays shady or a while. Throw white lukes or jerk baits early. I was catching ish quicker than my partner. When u switch, ish in water between 10-20t. Throw black/blue 5-7 inch senkos or dropshot 4-6 inch oxblood w/red lake roboworms. Both techniques worked very well. Work the mudlines outside mocaisin marina with the dropshot. Good luck.

Learned another lesson, (hard to compete against these local studs).Started ripping and blading some rock piles in Rogers. Partner, Terry W. boated irst keeper. Went to the "worm" quickly as the reaction bite did not work or us. Terry put on a clinic with a new dropshot bait, as I spiltshotm small ish all day. We stayed in the Rogers arm most o the morning, then went to Hatch to inish our limit. Ended up with only 10.11 lbs or six. Missed the # by only 7 pounds,Har.....(18+ to win, with 5.05 big ish.) Great Solid limits or those olks.

I WOULD HAVE 2 OR 3 FISH TRY TO EAT THE SPOOK AT THE SAME TIME !!!!!
