      Report: Well I last ished Kaweah on 6-13 in the Visalia Bass Tourn. Getting "skunked" was the highlight o the evening. My tackle messed up. I got stuck on a rock. My battery went dead. We paddled or an hour. Finally, at about 1am someone towed us in. Then or a inally, at 2am, as I was pulling my boat onto the trailer, I took a header o my tail-gate completely submerging mysel. It was a humbeling experience. I hope you all enjoy a good laugh.

Most o the stripers came on anchovie's, one o the contestants had the irst day lead o 32lb. all on topwater in thompson bay. The bass action has still been great in the evenings and early morning hours. The weather is hot, and our summer visitors have been taking over the weekends. Best bet ish early beore all the traic, or get out about 5pm until sunset and take advantage o some topwater on large & small mouth bass.

      Report: I started ishing rom 4pm to 8pm and I was ishing rom Beach area to East Shore. The beach area is pretty good or small bass, I caught 4 Large mouths in the beach area all on a Shad Rap, they were all in the 1 to 2 pound range. I moved on to ishing o the big pier, It was about 6:45pm I was using a 7 inch purple and black curly tail worm Texas rig, ater about 10 minutes I thaught I was hung on some algea and grass but I wasnt I elt a small tug, So I hooked it and next thing I see it was a nice 6.12 pound male large mouth bass jumping out o the water ater I braught him in I released him.(all bass where released)
      City: Pomona

      Tips: Most small Bass are hiting on small cranks and 4 inch Finesse worms on a Carolina rig.Bass over 4 pounds are hitting on 1/2 ounce (silver)Rat-L-Traps and Top Water Plugs like Popers, but in the ater noon they are hitting 7 inch culy tail worms. When Using a worm Texas Rigged Fish it normaly dont ish it really slow unless ishing with a small plastic or small bass.Also alot oalgea is starting to grow so dont really ish very shallow water and its better to ish the lake during Monday threw Friday because there is less boat traic and less people. Best spots is the east shore.

      Report: Fsihed this lake a ew times in the last week with decent success. One day we had a decent topwater bite irst thing. The next day we couldn't get anything to go until some breeze or wind came up. The blade or a rip bait seems to be the unnest way to catch ish but only i there is wind and some o color break. Otherwise shakin or drop shotinould put ish in the boat. I am a licensed guide eel ree to give me a call or email me cell 415.336.1254home 661.272.0691
      City: Palmdale

      Tips: Aternoon bite has been best once that wind comes up. Fish the windiest banks. Stripers still a the damn (drit a nightcrawler light line and split shot,make sure crawler is stream line and not turned upn on hook) the good old slugo on a lead head around some points is also catcing a ew.
