Water Temp: middle 60's
Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)
Report: I took my loat tube out and went into a clump o trees and got out on the bank a saw alot o beds with these big bass on them so the key is to drag whatever lure right over the bed and that bass will hit most o the time. i was just amazed o how many bass i saw that were just cruiseing the bank looking or ood. So I used my big 10'inch purple worm and just draged it over a big bed than wam ish jump out o the water than oosh the bass only had the end o the tail in its mouth so the ish just riped it o. I was ishing by some guys that hooked into some nice bass in little pools not more than 4 eet deep hiding in the rocks.

Guadalupe Lake
-
Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)
Report: Bonneau, I have also had good luck on senkos- black & red, and green & black colors. The darker color crank baits are great aroud the steep bank on the road side. This place is great when the water is low. You can see all of the structure this place has. There is are good size cove on the other side that has a huge tree that comes out only when the water is low-(obviously).
The california rig is great too, try 6" robo worms with about a 18 inch tag line.
City: San Jose -
Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)
Report: I don't mean to make this a chat room, but I am planning on tubing Guadalupe again this weekend, and I am hoping some old timers out there have some tips. Is the bank furthest from the road better than the steep bank closest to the road? I have heard that brown crank baits really nail them here, but I am primarily a plastic lure fisherman. Mick, thanks for the tip. I'll be there late summer. Look for two fools in Outcast tubes.
Thanks in advance!
