Got my irst ish on a dropshotrig, but can't say that is was skill, she had it beore ithit bottom. All ish, including trout were cought on tubebait, Basspros amber black and green lake, using a 1/8 oz,dart head but have the dart about 3/8 in. back rom the head o the tube.

      Report: Got up real early or the 2 hr drive, in order to arrive by 5:15 am and the top water bite. Went to my avorite point, and nothing. Went to my avorite tree, nothing. Went to another long point, nothing. Well, there was no topwater this am.............Started throwing micro weenies on 6lb test. Ended up catching 10 ish,to 3 lbs., mostly on points in the main lake and river.Bite was over at 10am.Pulled out at 12 noon and had a nice lunch at the coee shop.
      City: San Leandro

      Tips: Some days the top water bite don't exist. the ish were shallow, as when the sun came up we could see them. 20' visibilty is the reason or the micro weenies and light line.

      Report: The clear water makes it tough or Delta guys. Make long casts to the points. Most o our ish came on secondary points, mostly up the river arm.Caught mostly smallies, with a ew spots and largemouth.Had a great time on a beautiul lake. No skiers, no jet skis, ew bass ishermen.3.5 and 3.0 largemouth. 2.5 and (2)1.5 smallies, were the best. Love looking down 20t in the water and watching the ish do its 'dang, I'm hooked' dance. Airborn smallies, strong as an ox.
      City: San Mateo

      Tips: Smallies came on 4" Keeper worms, green weenie with green and red lakes. 6 pound test line a must.Largemouth got nabbed on Senko #284 which looks just like the crawdads.

      Report: i've been ishing lake perris or 10 years now and i'm still not that good o a isherman, however, i've ished every thursday or the last 4 months, the irst 2 months without a bite, then mostly 3 to 4 lbs every time the water temp is above 61deg. mostly due to my technique,"tiny baits" on 4# test. drop shot 1-1/2" plastic minnows (rattlesnake) or in-s ish 2-1/2" in rainbow trout,ark shiner or any smoke sparkle swim bait. smother it with crawdad smelly jelly. you won't win any tournaments with this rig but you'll be getting bit a lot. it's a challengeto hang on to a 3-1/2lb bass on 4lb test. twich it on the bottom. yes you may go through a lot o hooks (snags are a bummer but in may 2000 i caught 54 bass in our hours at bernasconi beach. this really does work.
