      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Went out after work, bite was solid, caught 20 fish in 4 hours. Most of my fish came on a drop shot with 4.5 inch oxblood red flake robo worm. Did manage a couple of fish on a shakey head with a 6 inch oxblood red flake robo worm. Almost all my fish came on points in 2-25 feet of water. Best fish was right at 2 lbs, with most in the 1 lb range. Fish were bunched up, if I would catch one on a spot, I would stay and catch 3 or 4 more in 5 or 6 more casts.
      City: Hollister

      Tips: Had my best luck just letting the drop shot sit. Seemed like the fish wanted a pretty subtle presentation. I usually fish a drop shot pretty fast and keep it moving, fish seemed to want is just sitting still.

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Did well on good numbers of 2.5 to 3 pounders. Had one six pounder. Shade and end of docks seemed to be the ticket. The south end and Rattlesnake are hammered with algae. We launched at the Oaks ramp, when we left at 2:30 I was afraid the motor was going to clog with the stuff.
      Mid lake and North the water is good. If you can find lanes and points in the weeds 8'to 10 ft that will work. Hard to find that , there is way more grass than I have ever seen here.
      City: Granite Bay a.

      Tips: Wacky senkos seemed best ,early morning 1 frog and 1 rico. about 20 on shakey head and senkos

      Report: went out of tracy oasis saturday. that was a mistake. one fish all day. wind was blown about 40mph. There is all this talk about people don;t want other people fishing their spots. There is no reason to tell everyone your spots but I think its not to had to tell people where you launch. I think if you tell people where you launch they can go find their water from there.
      City: San Jose

      Tips: pay attention to the winds. if they are blown' good luck but thats the Delta!!!

      Report: This kinda sums up my last three trips out,we fished up north in sycamore for a couple hours and didnt get touched, this is where the water is a few degrees cooler than down south and the central delta.We fished just the southside of Tower Park and worked our way down Whites and Disappointment without getting touched. From here we headed for Dutch where we didnt get touched either, then we headed for Middle River just east of the bridge and started fishing a stretch of bank and finally started getting bit. We cought some average fished, my buddy lost a nice one at the boat and threw right back in the same spot and hit a 5lber, I missed about four fish. They didnt seem to be hitting real aggresively. Before these last few trips we were fishing the south Delta and were hitting some pretty nice fish, 1 8.7 2 over 7 2 over 6 and a couple 5's. We been spending more time fishing unfamilar water putting in our "time on the water", one of these new spots produced the 2 7's so it does pay off to fish new water, just takes time away from the water that ya know. We will be hitting some of the new water we fished that didnt produce for us cause it has the all the good ingredients that hold fish," deep water near by, tullies, rock, and shallow and deep grass beds" so i knkow it will produce, its just a matter of timing. Im no pro but i hopw this helps.
      City: Modesto

      Tips: All the trips we were throwing sencos,frogs,beavers,worms,jigs,paddeltails and cranks. All the bigger fish came off the sencos, nothing on the jig or cranks, got hit a few times on the paddletail but know real takers

      Report: Luanched out of B&W about 6:30. Started out with a frog and nailed a 3#er that ate it deep. Threw the frog a bit more then switched to a black and red buzz bait to cover more water. landed 6 more in the next hour up to 3.98#'s. Worked my way south throwing frogs, buzz biat, senko, and punching. Picked up a 2+ on the senko and punching with a beaver and 5 more frog fish to 4#'s. Best five probable around 15#'s. The frog seemed to be hot today and I should have fished it more I just dot't have a lot of good frog water. Punch bite died from last for me from last Friday.
      City: Fair Oaks

      Tips: I have 7 rods on the deck. Frog, punch 1oz. w/beaver, LV 500 red, white spinnerbiat, Senko,3/8oz beaver for outside weed lines, & buzz bait. One of those is going to work to find a pattern. fish hard until you find it.

      Report: I agree with what the last poster said. These reports really help me as far as what the fish seem to be responding too since I can't get out to the delta all that often. If gives me a starting point as far as what to use. I'm not on here looking for spots and if you are then that is the wrong reason. Get a map and start marking, that's what I am doing right as we speak. If someone wants to share where they are fishing then that's up to them, I would not do that. And one other thing, I swear some of you go out of your way to write in slang and to incorrectly spell every word you can. It's no big deal, but if you are complaining about something you might get more listeners if you at least put some effort in.
      City: Davis, Ca

      Tips: The frog bite in the delta was on two days ago. They are in thick and I mean THICK mats of weeds. So thick that there will be a lot of misses because the fish can't get through but be patient, it's a kick. Also a moderate jig bite on tules with steep drop offs.

      Report: The Junior BASS club (River Ratz) out of Rocklin launched out of B&W at 6am. Winds blowing but the spinner baits and speed trap was the way to go on those rocky banks. The first hour was 7 bass, three stripers and lost four at the boat. I made it a three fish limit with a 6 hour tourny so that they can learn about the culling method if they got more. The Juniors did real well for most of them not ever being their before but the boaters were from Basin Bassmaster of Loomis club. As the tide died and the winds stoped so did the fish. We had two limits, two with two bass and 1 with 1 one.
      City: Rocklin

      Tips: Take advantage of the wind and use it in your favor to hit those banks that have the rocks with some tullies. Crank and cover more ground.

      Report: 4:30 a.m. launch and 100 M.P.H. winds. Well maybe not 100 but REAL big wind. Found a little place to hide and fished about 200 feet of bank with the boat against the rocks. From 5:30 to 6:08 I caught a 2, a 3, a 4, and a 5.5 largemouth. All were good looking fish. By 8:00 a.m. I had a respectable limit. I caught them all on the big fat Senko.
      City: San Leandro

      Tips: Early launch insures you tearing up your spots 1st. Enough people know the area I fish. Exactly 0.3 miles from the barn, third tree on the left, exactly 4.3 feet off the bank durning the 4 ft. tide right under the clouds. Just kidding about the spot but the Fat Senko was working. Last digits 297 bi fat green pumpin Senko.

      City: Folsom

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: After a bit of a hot spell in the valley, I thought the top water would kick in. I started with spooks in the wraggs canyon area. Missed a few before hooking up with a few spots, then started casting a fat free shad across points and around wood. That did not produce. Again tied on a drop shot rig and worked the same area and caught two lgmth in ten minutes and four more in the next hour and half. After graffing a school of bait fish in 35 feet of water with fish feeding on them in the main body I hovered over and dropped a tube bait and hooked up with a bunch of 1 and 1 and half pounders.
      City: Napa

      Tips: I just kept casting and casting until I got strikes with the spooks hopping they would turn on. Most of my fish were quite deep considering its June. Good Luck.
