      Water Temp: 60-62

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Fished the 100% future pro out of ladds on Sunday. We went South to near Cruiser Haven and caught 3 keepers on a crank, a jig, and a 3.5# on a spinnerbait. Left and went to Victoria where we added a 4# on a watermelon w/ red flake Senko and another keeper on a crankbait. Then farther south we got on a superb bite. We found bedding fish, the problem is the water was clear and we could not get the fish to bite as they could see us. ( And man did we see some nice fish) So we decided to pitch Senkos and Zipper worms far ahead of us and just outside the beds. Bingo. We began getting some real quality fish. We caught over 20 fish in 1 200 yard stretch of bank. The biggest was 6.9# with our 7 fish weighing over 32#s. What a great day on a great body of water.

      Tips: If you can see the bass they can see you. see where they are then get out of sight and pitch to them. Don't throw directly on the beds but around them. The same fish that wanted no part of our baits up close, devoured them when they thought we were not around. Pitching is a must.

      Report: Launched from Ladds for club tourney & hit Whiskey Slough 1st. fished hard for one break off on an oxblood leech & 1st 13" keeper on a 6" oxblood worm. Hit Empire Cut rip rap banks for a 15" fish on a white Speed Trap. Fished moving water next on south side of Mildred Island w/no hits so switched to slack water banks at low tide & picked up 3rd keeper, 15", on watermelon/red & grn flake 6" Senko. Last fish on in moving water in Columbia Cut was a nice 5+ on a watermelon 6" Senko but 5' from the boat she came up long enough to give us a look & then say "see ya". We didn't finish last but did not come close to the 1st place 4 fish weight of 13 lbs. anchored by a nice 8 1/2 caught on a shad colored 6" worm in the Tiki Lagoon area.

      Tips: 1st place team didn't get a chance to give us any. Had to move out to make room for 100% weigh-in.

      Report: Fished 100% BASS Future Pro with my brother. Caught lots of fish - all barely keepers. Weighed in a real small limit. Small, aggressive fish were fairly easy to find. Could not find the big girls today. Shallow cranks or spinnerbaits on shallow wood cover produced throughout the day, regardless of the tide. A couple came off rip rap banks on the Crawdad SpeedTrap. Only one on a Senko late in the day.
      City: Castro Valley

      Tips: Better fish were hard to find. Deeper and slower presentations are the likely way to go. Pay attention to the weather.

      Report: Fished Friday and Saturday. Friday landed a 2,3 & 5#. Saturday only caught a good story. Fishing a minnow in Miner Cove and set my rod down in the boat, next thing I know the whole rig went flying into the water. Spent the next hour with a treble hook trying to snag my rod and the monster on the other end. After the ranger came by to check licenses we moved onto the next cove. Feeling sorry for myself, not sure what pissed me off more; losing the fish, my favorite rod and reel or not paying attention enough to lose both, we see a boat heading towards us with a gentleman with his dog holding up a rod asking if I had lost it. After he handed my rig back he opened up his livewell and pulls out a 4.5# fish and says, by the way this was attached to it too. Kind of the fish that got away story, and a hearty thanks to Robin and his dog for giving it a good ending. May his fish be large and bend his pole often.

      Report: My friend Stephen and I fished the Delta today out of Big Break Marina. We started first at Franks Tract, then moved to Ironhouse Slough, tried 3 mile and ended the day at the Break. I caught two Largemouth Bass, a small dink and a 14-1/2" 1lb 8oz. My friend caught a solid bass about 2 pounds, and a real beauty weighing an even 5 pounds. We tried buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, lipless rattling baits, and jigs, but all our fish were caught on Gary Yamamoto's Senko.

      Report: Fished first light to 2 pm and managed to put 17 in the boat. Probably had a respectable limit to 17 lbs or so. Our normal early morning bite was not on with reaction baits, so we pulled out onto flats and anchored. This method seemed to do the trick, as we hit some nice blacks, striper and even a steelhead. Fish were caught on a variety of baits.
      City: roseville, ca

      Tips: Work flats with deeper water around it. The delta has fish that are on their beds, but also has fish that will not spawn for another month. What makes the delta unique is the fact that the fish are always in different stages and can be caught on a variety of methods.
