      Report: Knock it off with all the racial comments. PC or not this is a fishing website not a political commentary site. You should be ashamed of yourself! If you see someone break the law call it in, otherwise keep your narrow minded stereotypes to yourself. Breaking the law is breaking the law. PERIOD!!!

      Now can we please talk about fishing?

      Report: Just Len staying close to home. Got in the water around 8am and stayed in Rock Creek most of the day. Three on the boat with 12 nice bass from 2-4.0 lbs. Drop shot, split shot with a light green lizard and a chatter bait. The bass are moving up to find the beds.

      Report: Trying to save gas on a long drive, went to CFW for the second week in a row and must admit that it was a lot better than last week. Started at a cove going up Rock Creek and virtually stayed there all day as the bite was so good. Worked a gradual drop bank with a tube pulled slowly on the bottom to boat over 15 really nice, fat bass. Bite is starting to pick up and spoke to another angler at ramp who said they drop shotted the first fish and stayed with it all day with a real good day so if you're looking for some action without spending big bucks to drive elsewhere, CFW is starting to turn on as it has been at full pool for a month or more.
      City: Wheatland

      Tips: Convinced that we would get a reaction bite and having that fail, the tube turned the trick and they seemed to want a lighter color bait as the darker ones got us no bites. Working it slowly on the bottom, the bite was at times violent while other bites were almost impossible to feel until you moved your rod and felt a difference in the feel. Nice color and the girls are full of eggs and getting ready to find a home for the next generation.

      Report: Hit the lake in the morning from 7:30-12:00. We tried texas rigging, jigs, spinner baits, cranks, and not a single bite. The water was an ugly brown chocolate color and visibility sucked, so again we tried larger baits, going rediculously slow and still nothing. Going to try next weekend and see if the lake has settled, but with all this rain exepected who knows.

      Report: Mr. Fishaholic, The crappie fisherman I saw was using a dropshot rig in the brush piles in the southend.Try some red&wht. or chart.& wht. crappie jigs on 4lb. line and work it around brush piles and in the back of coves. They should be trying to spawn right now. If you catch one they should be bunched up in that area. Goodluck!

      Report: Took my son Ricky & nephew Jimmy fishing, a very windy day. Got there late, about 12:30 went north and I got one on a drop shot (Witches Tea 25') motored into the second arm and caught one on a Chrt/wht spinner bait. Then moved to a main lake rock point and Jimmy picked up his first fish of the day on Drop Shot (Baby Bass 15') picked up two more (Drop Shot). Ricky steals my rod and picks one up on a Baby Bass Drop Shot. Finished the day with 11 fish, not bad for a windy short day.

      Report: Mr. Kalihi boy, you mentioned you saw a guy catch some crappie. Do you know if he was using a bobber? I'm planning to fish for some trout on monday. If the trout fishing sucks, I figure I try for some crappie. I've never fished for crappie in this lake before.

      Report: Boat's in the shop, so walked the back side of Calero throwing spinnerbait and jigs this Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was pretty good, only three fish, but biggest was 6.4. Other two were 2-3 lbs. Lost a much bigger fish in the back arm of the lake - was throwing a chartreuse spinnerbait with chartreuse/orange blades when something hit it and started ripping line off the reel. I had 12 lb test, could not turn the fish, which ran into some wood and broke me off. Came back the next day, caught 4 from 2 to 5 lbs on jigs and another spinnerbaits as well. Hoped to get another chance at the monster that took my first spinnerbait, but no luck. God Bless, Rob T.
      City: Half Moon Bay

      Tips: Big fish are definitely moving up. I caught my biggest fish all near the bank on wood or other structure. Both jigs and reaction baits worked.
