      Report: The way to tell if it is a spotted bass or Largemouth is to feel the tongue. If it has 3 or more little teeth it is a spot, if no teeth on the tongue it is a Largemouth. That is the most definate way of telling what you have on the end of your line.

      Tips: Dont feel for teeth on MUSKY's tongue.

      Report: FOM Christian Sportsman Clubs held their monthly tournament out of packers we launched at 6:30 and wighed in at midnight. Most teams reported very few fish after dark. Jimmy Zanottelli won the boater side using dart head worms and a swim bait. Tony Thomasy was second using crankbaits. Eric Parkin was first in the coangler division using crank baits.

      Report: The Sac arm is a very good fishery as well. ( I look at each arm as a different lake all together ) I have had great success fishing the verticle walls and points on the Sac. Lost of good points on this arm. Take a look at the gooseneck area on your map. Get one if you dont have one. Lots of clay and pebble bank on the obrien arm and its full of smallmouth. The water is generaly claerer on the Sac arm. Try jerks, rips and spinnerbaits if you have some wind putting a chop on the water. The fish will come out of the depths to hit. If no wind, I like to fish finesse baits. Drop shot, jigged or texas rigged 4-6 inch worms in blue ghost, pumpkin and chartuze have done very well for me. Good luck to you.

      Report: launched @ antlers 7 am. the water around the ramp looked like chocolate milk. i was soon surprised the water had cleaned up around the turn at sugarloaf.today i was out for trout . i figured i would start the day way up in the back coves looking for bait and seeing if i could get a couple on kastmasters. i soon figured out that this was going to harder than i thought . all day i caught bass after bass after bass. the bass we thick up in the rushing water of the creeks coming into the lake. all in all i got a nice limit of trout up to 20 inches and a eaey limit of fat bass up to 3 lbs that i released. not bad for throwing a kastmaster all day.

      Tips: bass and trout holding up in the fast current of incoming creeks and spillways....

      Report: caught 5 nice keepers on the new broken back spook and matching trailer 9 colors or styles you figure out the one working. they are the best topwater I have ever used. all 5 were over 3lbs. I Have 3 Different colors and the rest on backorder.all 3 colors caught fish.
      City: Redding

      Tips: the broken backs are hard to get even though they are made in shasta county.I had to order them out of state I have given as much info as I dare as to not disturb the natural flow of the water.I head to oroville to try them next.get a big net as you will get quite a workout,action is incredible.

      Report: I went back and read Johnny Mac's other posts here and I don't see how anybody in their right mind can say he was advertising......His posts say alot more about lake conditions than Butcher that's for sure. We don't need butcher here........

      Report: thank you doc for standing up for mr. mac i know he is the kind of man who would just want people to have a good time on the water. as for the other people who jumped to the conclusions that he was advertising, take it easy, why not say something about the lake when it is as good as it is right now.

      Report: hey no joke on that monster female. i do underwater photography. i have been taking pictures of this female for days. she's been hangin around this point for awile and i just finally found her sittin around for once. when i first saw this fish i crapped my pants. i have caught monster largemouth up in marin county. i know my fish. my friend and i have gotten monster bedding fish up to 18 lbs at this one lake. we know how to piss them off enough to get them to bite. back to the story.. anyways i was taking pictures of these nice 5+ females that were cruisin around when i saw a monster spot that was atleast 8 lbs. i thought that one was huge. but out of depths came this beast with her crew and all. this female had 4 or 5 big bass following her every move. all the bass with her were over 5 lbs easy. i just found a lucky spot. i was seeing fish all day just on this one point. schools of carp were every where. i even saw a school of catfish. some of those carp were well up around 30 lbs. i think the carp are getting ready to spawn aswell. lets just say i been scouting this fish for a couple days and she finally took the bait. i'll post a pic when i develope the film. i also got some great shots of the 8 lber... the record for spotted bass is 10 lbs i think. this fish beat it easy.. but no way in hell am i going to kill this fish for a stinkin record. nor do i have anywhere to keep the fish on my boat. that female is that big for a reason. she needs to keep makin those monster babies....

      Report: Launched at Bridge Bay at 0645 started on the south bank right out of the marina and throwing a white spinnerbait worked all the way to Bass Cove with only 2 bites missed one and caught a 1.6 Headed for Dolly point where I caught several very nice fish, most about 1.8 with the best at 2.5 all on a brown jig. Went all the way up the Big Back Bone until the creek was flowing, water is clear to about 8' only caught two fish above the bouy, both small started back working main points and catching some nice fish on jigs in mostly 22' of water, caught about 20 fish today and it was a warm sunny day for a welcomed change.
