      Report: Once again San Diego City Lakes has let the lake open ater dark. Arrived at El Capitan about 9:15 pm. Lake looked like Calville Bay the morning o the US Open. There must have been 150 - 175 boats on the lake (850 acre lake). Fishing was slow, caught only six ish rom the time that I got there to 5:15 am. All ish caught on purple or black duh jigs in 10 - 20 eet o water on secondary rock points. Only thing I can think o is that the unusual amount o boat traic and ishing pressure had the ish completely turned o. Well I'll get them next time!

      Report: only fished for about 1 1/2hrs as the weather got nasty, got one in the first 20min at 5.6lb largemouth on a baby brush hog. Fatest lm I have ever seen at that size, I could feel a fish in its stomach and it still ate. temps stabilize around 50 to 52 it should be good

      Report: I talked to a few guys that were fishin cranks and not having much success so I thought I would share my thoughts on this bait.
      I fish a 7ft rod with a full spool of 10lb line. This combination gives me a super long cast allowing me to keep my bait in the strike zone longer ( which is on the bottom )and cover allot of water. The light line also lets my bait run deeper and allows more action on the bait. Fish it with an eratic retrieve as soon as it hits something. Yes, I get allot of backlash with this rig, especialy in the wind and yes, I do break off some baits when it gets hung but you cant win if you dont play so we live with it. Let the fish tell you if your doing it right by how hard they commit to the bight. If they are hitting and pulling off you may need a color or action change. If they hit hard and take it deep, dont change a thing. Keep throwing it and looking for simillar area`s. Hope this will help a few of you.

      Report: This report is for APPLEGATE.... Got to Applegate this morning at 0545 just as Bob was opening the gate... Put in and started fishing the Squaw arm... Made a bad cast and spooked a BIG fish in some willows when I went in to retrieve my lure..... Stuck a 4.1 largemouth two bushes down from the one I spooked, and thought I had them figured out... Next fish was a 17" smallie from the same cove 20' deep on a nothing bottom.... So much for the pattern.... Nothing else until 11:30 on a point across from the Copper boat ramp, a 2lb smallie in 26 feet of water..... Off the lake at 12:30 with still no pattern working...... Hope it's a little better for me at the club tournament weekend after next.......

      Tips: Ran into a guy that I knew from about 20 years ago, and he said that he had caught 11 smallies on rip baits and splitshots.........

      Report: Went to Irongate yesterday (actually went a little further south to check out a lake that opens April 30) and fished near the boat ramp for a while.. Had my small boat so didn't venture very far out onto the lake.. Tried Senkos & a Terminator Spinnerbait and caught two small (1lb.) fish on the Senkos, nothing on the spinnerbait... Only fished for about an hour when a rather big thunderhead came over the lake, and since I was in a tin boat I decided it might be time to call it a day.... Water temp was 57 everywhere I fished, and I saw no signs of beds or new weeds, only dead brown ones where I was.... A beautiful warm day even with the approaching thunderstorm.......

      Report: Went back to Selmac this morning, put in about 11:30 and went back to the resort side of the lake where I caught fish on Saturday... The best way to describe it was the weather was warm, but the fishing was cold.. I only managed one small fish in about 2 1/2 hours, which was also the only bite I had.. I talked to a couple of guys in a Bass Tracker (the only other bass boat on the lake today) and they said they hadn't done anything either.... Well, tomorrow Emigrant, in spite of the windy weather forcast on Ch. 12 tonight.... Gotta be my least favorite thing, wind......

      Report: Water was extremely cold, shore access is limited. Best luck may be by the dam. Seabirds were actively feeding below the spillway, but I did not manage to catch anything at any of the locations I attempted.

      Report: Small Mouth fishing is really GREAT. My friend caught one almost 6 lbs. a couple of weeks ago. Cranks, and drop shot both work . You can catch fish all day, as they are starting to move into spawining areas.

      Report: In response to Deepvbasser,

      Slow Rolling is my own made up description of a technique I use. My gear of choice for this technique is, Dobyns Champion 734c paired with a 51e curado, 12 pound fluorocarbon with a 5/8 tungsten worm sinker, 15 – 19 inch lead line w/ extra wide gap Gamo hook 5/0. My son’s setup was a Dobyns Champion 734c paired with a curado 101d, 12 pound fluorocarbon with a 5/8 tungsten worm sinker and an extra wide gap Gamo hook 5/0. Slow rolling for me is just a reference of slow cranking your bait caster handle. I like to move my bait by dragging and every now and then pop my lure off the bottom surface, pausing 1 minute to 2 minutes and repeat the process until I’m out of the strike zone. Hypothetically speaking, one cast can take up to 7 – 9 minutes to re-cast. Most of the bite came in at about 15 – 25 feet of water after a deflection from bottom contact or from the bait falling after a jerk of the rod. I fished mainly transition structure changes from sand to rocks, grass and drop offs. Hope it helps.

      Tips: You also provided a couple of great reports. Looking to continue hearing from your trips as well. Tight Lines.

      City: orangevale

      Tips: Mostly fish dart head slow as possible then slow down some more. I has 2 largemouth and 7 spots. I used 8lb floro line. Find the bait which is everywhere and fish that area. Good luck

      Report: First day on the water in the new year. On just before noon and off by 3:30. One spot well over 3 and one smallmouth just under 3. Both were just outside of baitballs on the bottom. Salmon mixed in the same group. 6 or 7 salmon to 2 bass today. I hope to reverse that next trip.
