      Report: FISHED FROM SAFE LIGHT AT PEDRO ON THE 3RD. COULDNT FIND OUT WHAT THE HECK WERE DOING. THERE WAS A COLD FRONT BEFORE THE RAIN THAT HAD THE FISH REALLY CONFUSED...OR WAS IT US THAT WAS CONFUSED? FINALLY IT ALL CAME TOGETHER LATE IN THE DAY. TO BAD IT WAS AFTER 3PM WHEN IT SHOULD BE. FOUND FISH UP RIVER AT ABOUT 45-55 FEET OF WATER. KEYED IN ON SOME WATERFALLS HEADING UP RIVER. I ONLY STUCK FOUR FISH IN ABOUT 50 FEET OF WATER. TRIED MY FAVORITE PURPLE/BLUE BUT HAD NO LUCK. THEN I SWITCHED TO A FOUR INCH SHAD PATTERN WORM ON A 1/8 OZ. JIG HEAD AND SHOOK IT ON THE BOTTOM. BAM!...........FOUND THE KEY. 3 FISH WENT ABOUT A POUND AND A HALF; ONE FISH WENT ABOUT THREE. THAT WONT WIN TOURNAMENTS BUT IT APPEASED ME FOR THE TIME BEING. HOPE IT GETS BETTER AT TOURNAMENT TIME!.........

      City: Medord, OR

      Tips: dress warm, expect wind, SLOW DOWN, these ish love Smelly Jelly, drop shop 16-18" above sinker, wide gap SHARP hooks, i you even suspect your line was bumped, SET THE HOOK, ish can be seen in warmer creek channels shallow, but many are still deep, invest in a big trout plug or lure as it is the bait o choice or 10lb+ bass in this lake

      Report: Ok this is the end of my reporting and helping people try too catch more bass i was informed by are local newspaper sports editor that ive pissed off a few bass tournament anglers that are fishing the lake with my reports im guessing the 30 too 40 boat nights that have been turning out the last 6 or 7 weeks now have put a dent in there fishing time. Too all the everyday anglers i hope you keep fishing the lake and get info from your local tackle shops. Im signing off for now

      Water Temp: Hot

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: On the lake early the morning bite was good for top water spooks and buzz baits. Best fish came on Texas rigs with baby craw dads and grubs. They hit some crank baits in shad and crawdads for a few 2 to 6# fish the big fish of the day was a 7+# and that was about it for the day. Slow is the name of the game right now. Boated about 15 fish total.
      City: Fresno

      Tips: Slow and steady seems to be the name of the game right now. Swim baits are working also.
      If you can get on the lake early and I fished till about noon and got off before it got too hot. The water temp seams to push the fish a bit deeper as the day goes on.
      Good luck and be careful.

      Report: im posting a heads up ...this time of year the bass in eastman will hold up on the first drop from the coves. go to 15 to 25 feet drop a black with red flake or dark colored custom worms with noticable blood vien. i prefer a gulp turtle back 4" in blk/rd flk with split shot 12" to 18" from worm. on days with warm weather look to the shallow spawning big boys ...remove split shot go wieghtless and drag ....S.U.P.E.R..S.L.O.W !
