      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Skunked again. Another smallmouth kept by douche. He explained to me that he keeps everthing he catches and that the money from the permit fees pays to restock the lake.
      City: Niles

      Tips: Use a sliding rig with a 2 oz cannonball and a 20lb spiderwire leader to fish like these regulars. Don't forget to have someone pick up your limit so you can keep fishing.

      Report: Since no one is posting any reports I thought I would. The fishing was tough. Crystal clear skies and dead calm water didnt help. We saw lot of fish shallow but they were very skiddish and spooky. We caught 5 small ones in about 3 hrs. A few on topwater and a few on darthead. Only saw a handful of boats on a Sat afternoon and now I know why. Beautiful day but fishing was tough due to the perfect weather.

      Report: Launched out of Ladd's at 7:15 am had fist fish in the boat 40 minutres later, a 2.5 lb spot. Fished shallow crankbait all morning caught 11 keepers and 6 dinks, the largest was 4.5 lbs with 5-best going 15.5 lbs. Was fishing in Bishop Cut and 14-mile slough and got off the water by 11:00 am. Not a bad morning...
      City: Sactramento

      Tips: Let the speed demons do their thing...and lets keep the fishing report to what it is intended for so that we can assist each other in where we found fish.

      Crankbait today...Strike King, square bill in sexy shad color; it killed them all morning long.

      Report: Finally arrived at my area at about 12:30 P. M. Fishing in 3-6 feet of water, patience was certainly necessary. Used a drop shot rig with wacky rigged Senkos, natural colors. Best five a bit over 20 lbs. Two huge monsters spit my offering out after running with it for awhile. Nice, peaceful fishing, just the way I like it.
      City: Esparto

      Tips: Use 8 lb floro. , strong dropshot hooks and keep moving with the current. Think East side and become friends with cattle!

      Report: Turkey Shoot yesterday and there was a good amount of fish caught. I personally caught 1 keeper on a jig and caught a ton of dinks on dropshot and splitshot rig. All baitfish colors. Fish were spitting up tons of baitfish. Definitely the technique to use. I was told spinnerbaits and shakey heads produced well also.
      City: Plumas Lake

      Tips: We marked tons of fish very deep up to 60/70 ft but found stragglers in 20 to 10 ft.

      Report: Launched out of Buckley Cove in Stockton on Wednesday and B&W on Thursday. Found LM fishing tough. Tried everything. Had no luck with Stripers in the Stockton Turning Basin. Caught and released a few keeper stripers in Franks and 14-mile slough on minnows, 3 1/2" fish traps, and green/chrome spoons. Caught and released a 8-pound salmon in 14-mile on a fish trap.
      City: Novato

      Tips: The LM bite was off. We didn't see any stripers activity in the eastern half of the Delta, so you just have to search them out with a hit and miss plan. There was some bird action, but it was sparce.

      Report: Got off work early Thursday launched round 11 tossed gizzard shad colored cranks mostly all day did okay lots of 1 and 2 pounders paralleling weed lines around white slough. Not much of a flipping bite for me, tried jigs and creatures. The cold front and blue bird skies seemed to really shut the bite down. Got off the water round 5 my best five probably only went like 8 pounds.

      Report: For everyone reacting to these morons who are jerkin' everyone's chain...they're just trying to get you to react, makin' up stupid stories about going fast in the deadly fog. Please don't react anymore....we all know what safe and sane is and they actually do too. if they were really going that fast, we'd already be reading about the emt's and divers pulling their worthless bodies out of the delta. 415bass...thanks for posting your report!

      Tips: don't let these bozos get you started...I agree with what you all say to these fools...but they're not worth it...let's stay focused on what we love....fishin' ... or better yet....BASS FISHIN'!

      Report: So I was out the other day in my brand new wrapped ranger cruising along at a cool 68 mph and I came up on this a$$clown an Allison. I almost hit him cause it was so foggy, but I was able to veer outta the way cause I felt his wake before I saw him. Let me say this, he's a total liar. I was GPSing myself on my brand new hds-8 lowrance and I was only going 70 and it was like he was sitting still! He saw me and tried to get on it, and off we went racing down old river in the fog. He's right....exhilarating is an understatement!! I haven't had that big of a rush since I was killin' Charlie in the trees in southeast Asia!!! Anyway, I smoked that pansy and there's no way he was going 70! My boat maxes out at 69 and he was toast! Anyway, the bite was great, I just watched tactical bassins video where they say they caught 42 lbs for five, and eventhough they only showed one fish out of that limit, it was enough for me, and I knew that bank. I went and never gave up, just like Matt Allen says, and sure enough caught a 3lber, 5lber and 2 4 lbers and an 8lber all on an Alabama rig with live crawdads. That was so many pounds of bass filets that I had to feed my dogs the leftovers! I recommend deep frying the bass, the bigger ones taste better! !! Caught em deeper in current, on points.
      City: The delta sewer

      Tips: Alabama rig 5 live crawdads!! Had two fish on at once!!

      Report: Question for myboatsfaster...do you know what distinguishes stupidity from ignorance? Stupidity is someone who knows they are acting in their own worst interest, so why are you so ignorant???
