      Report: Fished south and stayed there. Morning bite was tough, no topwater. Pumps were running so outgoing was incoming. The stripers have made it South, found a school of 3 to 5 lbers and played with them for a while. Cranked a few keepers off current points, flipped a couple more in tule pockets in current. Crank bite was best and continued to out produce flipping. Cranked a limit or two around until noon. The better fish were still in 6 to 10 feet of water even at high tide. Caught fish but the size was not that good.
      City: Tracy

      Tips: Cranked red(trap and bomber) flipped senkos and worms. No jig fish for me on this trip.

      Report: Fishing at Calero is pretty good - no complaints - bagged a few largemouths (3.5lbs and 4lbs). "Reality," maybe the "females" weren't biting for you because your rig was a little derisory for their tastes, rookie.

      Report: Went ishing two days last week. The irst day caught one ish on topwater and had several other boils. Then switched to plastics and caught three others. Overall, pretty slow. The second day we got on the lake beore daylight. Fished top water but did not even get a bite. Once the sun came out we ished plastic worms in about thirty eet o water. Caught six ish, all small. We missed about ten others. The ish were so small, they were biting the tails o the plastic worms and not getting hooked. Probably going to try again this week.
