      Report: Man, had a tough day, while ishing a local 11 boat tourney.(Beneit or Girls Sotball). 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.
      City: San Leandro,Ca.

      Report: Had A GREAT WEEKEND, THROW SPOOKS MATCHED WITH MARKSTAILS.CAUGHT 5 FISH OVER 5LBS. BIGGEST BEING 6.7 LARGEMOUTH. THIS LAKE HAS THE BEST TOPWATER ACTION I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WOULD HAVE 2 OR 3 FISH TRY TO EAT THE SPOOK AT THE SAME TIME !!!!! I WOULD HAVE MY WIFE THROW A SPOOK AT THAT MOMENT AND WE WOULD HAVE DOUBLE HOOKUPS, I WISH SHE COULD DO THAT MORE OFTEN, BUT SHE USUALLY DRAGS A LURE BEHIND THE BOAT, DUE TO HER ARTHRITIS. THE PEOPLE ARE VERY KIND HERE AND ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON THE LAKE. I AM GLAD WE MADE THE TRIP. WE WILL COME BACK SOON. THANK YOU TO ALL TOM JONES

      Report: Fished 60 boat tournament out o Flemming. Tough bite on bigger ish. The size has been diminishing with the weather, ishing pressure and water dropping. Still some bed ish but a lot have moved o the nest. First place was 17.35, second was 17.30 and third was 16.89. Caught most o our ish in Rodgers and Mexican Gulch split shotting and bed ishing...pretty tough when you have to bed ish or 2 pounders to inish your limit. Final weight 16.89 with a big ish o 4.75.

      Report: Well ater our lackluster perormance during the NCC on McClure, my partner and I decided to try our hands on another lake we'd never seen. We Launched at the dam and tried ishing ripbaits irst, nothing. We headed back into the Big Creek area and tried worms, jigs, and cranks, nothing again. So we ired up the motor and headed or Woods Creek area. Only problem was we missed it by about 3 miles and ended up in the river arm. Fished worms to no avail. Went to the Marina at Moccasin or lunch, then headed over to Woods area. I managed one largemouth about 1.25lbs on a carolina rigged baby brush hog. Fish was in 50' o water on a large lat at the mouth o a cove. Had one other bite on same rig but missed him. I can't help but think that orgetting the ishinder really hurt us both days. So we used just the lasher or depth and ished in 35'-55' o water both days. Bet I remember to put that ishinder on the boat next trip!!
      City: Sparks Nv.

      Tips: The lake seems to be just recovering rom turnover, water along banks was pretty clear with visibilty to about 12'. But the water still has a very "green" look to it. Plastics SLOW and DEEP seem to be the ticket.

      Report: Fished the ambassadors night tourney this weekend. The tourney lasted rom 7:00pm to 7am. Weighed 5 ish or 7.6lbs. I caught one dink around 4:00am on a green and brown 6" strait tail. My dad caught the 5 keepers on a Poe's crankbait(chartruse w/blue back) Fish were caught o and around points at sundown and at sunrise. I tried many dierent crankbaits in the same color pattern with no luck. The wide wobble on the Poe's semmed to attract the bites.
