      Report: No bite whatsoever...ished rom 6am to 11am, and 4pm to 12am. Got nothing but weeds all along the eastern to the northern shore. Got to get a boat to get to the middle where the action lies. Too many people boating back and orth, scaring the ishes silly. Using A.C. plug, plastic worm with Berkeley trout and bass scent, also using stink bait as well as nightcrawler or catishs. Fishes are getting smart..nibble your baits..eat them, and run o beore biting the hooks. Trying again in a ew days.

      Report: Fished with my kids and had some success pitching senko's 194J around the brush in the whittenberg arm early in the morning. we come to lopez or the topwater but it was'nt happening so we went a little deeper with the Senko's.

We also had great luck with the Senko's/dropshot and spoons on the boiling bass under the bridge. lots o smaller ish most under 2 Lbs.have un at Lopez, it's a wonderul place...Dave
