      Report: In a word , TOUGH. Fished the NewBass Team Spectacular. Great tournament.Congrats to the teams that ound the ish. Found a pattern late on Friday, dropshotting 4 inch purple ghost or morning dawn worms in 25 - 30 eet on the inside o points. Started Sat with topwater and got 2 quick keepers and several blow ups and small ish. When the sun came up bite died. Tried everything else no takers, 1 more keeper on a dropshot. Sunday NO topwater or reaction at all but the ds bite was better. Weighed a small limit but lost 2 in the 3 lb class.

      Tips: Use 12 to 16" between sinker and hook. Look or bait in 24-30 eet o water. No bait don't waste your time. Boulders and big chunk rock are good. Try a spook until the sun comes up.

      Report: Folsom Bass Team's annual event. Great Club.. 24 teams! more than the previous Anglers Choice event the previous week. Oh well. Lots o numbers caught. Every point has ish. All it takes is some luck to catch one over 2 lbs and you do well. We primarily ished blades. W/W Ton's o un and it was hard to ish the worms although you may ind more numbers. We easily had 30-40 +/- hook ups a day. What a ishery. We caught several ish that had resh plastic in there mouth, most likely caught within the last couple o days. Amazing!

      Tips: I your ishing reaction, such as blades, ish the wind banks with a little mud line. White/white blades slow rolling down as deep as you can go. Although, many hit them right on the bank early in the morning. have un

      Report: Took a mini-vacation in the great area o Shasta, and was amazed to see how ull the lake is... I've never seen it that high in all the years I've visited your area.. Fished the Sacremento in the Salt Creek area, and picked up 2 nice sized smallies on Senkos, and a 3lb. spot, also on a watermelon Senko in about 3 hours time.. Went out again on the 22nd and almost immeadately had a ski-boater blow by in ront o us creating a monumental wake, and ater we landed (the second time) my trolling motor mount had snapped in two. Spent most o the day on the 23rd trying to make a new mount, and in almost 100 degree weather that was un.. Decided to put my little jon boat (that I wanted to try out anyway) in, so we ound a spot that with the high water no larger boats could reach because they couldn't get under the bridges, and rom 6:30 till dark my partner and I boated 19, a combination o lagremouth and smallies, all on watermelon Senkos, and lost more I think than we caught... What a blast!! You guys have a beautiul lake down there, I only wish that I lived closer.......
      City: Williams, Oregon

      Tips: We tried many lures, but everything that we caught was on Senkos.. Don't know what makes these such an awesome bait, all I know is that they work!!

      Report: The Redwood Empire Bass Club traveled to Shasta or a weekend tournament. Largest bag or 2 days was just over 20 lbs. (2-5 ish limits). For mysel and my partner we caught several ish on Saturday but only managed a 7 lb limit. Most ish were 1-1.5 lbs. all caught on 4" worms on 1/8 oz darter heads and drop shotting 3" robo worms. On Sunday the wind was really intense so we headed to the back o Hirtz Bay and landed a 3 and a 2.5 o beds throwing pumpkin/black senkos. We later moved up the McLoud to the next creek and landed a couple more 2 pounders throwing senkos (clear/Black and white), giving us a nice 11 lb limit and moving us up to 2nd place with 18.84 lbs.
      City: Rohnert Park

      Tips: Check the back o creek arms or bed ish. I you not getting bit with senkos, try a dierent color. Pumpkin, salt & Pepper, or white worked the best or us. Also try watermelon. Look or rocky areas and throw 4" worms i your looking or quantity. Work the bottom slowly.
