  • Mason County, California
    • By

      Water Temp: 74-78

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: 23 fish day. Biggest 2.5 and most in the 1-2 range. Senkos and suspending cranks. Highlight of the day was catching 7 2#ers in a row, all hit on initial drop (senko). Suspending cranks over rocks worked well also.

      Tips: Find the schools they are there, even if only for a few minutes.

  • Tulare County, California
    • By

      Water Temp: 82

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Fished 6:30am-10:30am, 0 fish. Water level low.
      Tried topwater, crankbaits, dropshot, split shot, plastic worms, spinnerbait, trolling. This place must not be that great if it takes 2 guys catching 10 lbs of fish to win a tournament. Not a good sign!!!

      Tips: Lots of fish?- busting baitfish. Watch out for 1 feet of water in middle of lake-(marked with orange buoys).

      Report: Wow, been a long time since I posted anything. Even though the lake is down over 100'. and the temp is way up. With the boat traffic and all. My most recent fishing trip was pretty good. My friend Bryce of MGM lures and I launched from the dam and fish the Backbone area till noon. we had approx.30 fish to 3 lbs. with several 2 lbrs. Top water sucked in the early going, but a darter head 5" senko produced all the fish. in 28-34 ft.
      Did I mention a new Bass club in Redding? It's called "Fishers of Men". It's a Christain based Sportsmans club. We meet the first wed. of every month at 6 pm. and fish the 2nd sat.
      For more info. call Jimmy Zanotelli at 530) 229-9096 or Gary Delbridge at 530) 524-8322. (www.thefishersofmen.net)

      Report: hey bob, my buddy and i went to the lebanon farm ponds last tuesday. I caught about 15 bass. My biggest was about 4lbs, and I landed 9 fish from one of my favorite holes in about 20 minutes. Great day of fishing, swallows were dipping in the water like they do at many farm ponds, and big lunkers were jumping out of the water I believe attempting to eat them. Pretty exciting thing to see, but nerve racking at the same time because they wont look at any of my baits.

      Tips: I caught all my fish on various colored 4in senkos. I tried a jig bob, but these ponds are filled with weeds making my attempts pretty discouraging.

      Water Temp: 79-81

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Fished the last 3 days and monday finally got into some GOOD quality. I fished topwater early but that only produced a few dinks ( 2-3lbs) swicthed over to the big worm and still couldnt find quality. Saw a ton of old bluegill beds so i figured the bass were on the blue gill fry. Tied on a Bill Norman DD22 in blue gill pattern and covered ALOT of water. I only caught 6 fish in the 4 hours i threw the crank but all were between 5-7lbs. If you want big fish at DVL and dont mind making a million casts.. mainlake points and a DD22 on 10lb will get you big fish.

      Tips: bury the rod tip in the water to get the bait down. Fish are in the 20 - 25ft range.

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: OK, a little expensive but worth it. Clearlake size bass. But few and far between. Fished 6am til 11:30 p.m. didn't know you had to be off the water by dusk! One blow up on a buzz early on, no more topwater the rest of the day. Caught some large ones by what are now islands to the east. Kept heading up the river channel where we caught a 7lber! I'm not lying. I wish we could put up pictures here. Caught in 8!foot of water 82 degrees on a christmas colored senko. Go Figure? Caught a nice one on white senko next to bridge pylon but got away a foot from the boat! would have ran 4 lb's. No bite on brush hawgs of any color, weird I know, but my brother in law fishes them all day every time we go out. NO BRUSH HAWG bite at this time. No reaction bite at all at this time either. Only caught on brass and glass aarons magic and green weenie and Wacky senkos all day nothing else worked. A really weird lake, the usual stuff doesn't work at this time? It was our first time here though.
      All in All fisher #1 1 fish went for a pound
      fisher #2 one limit all fish 1 1/2 - 4lb's
      fisher #3 over limit from 2-7 lb's
      Maybe the eclipse the day before had something to do with the finicky fish?? Like I said though, our first time there. BITE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AFTER DARK!
      City: Hayward

      Tips: low and slow! Drag worms off the banks, drop wacky in places that you don't really think are holding and RELEASE every bass you catch to make this an awesome fishery!

      Report: What happened to the bass in this lake? Used to see several reports a year of large bass bing caught.

      Fished 3:30-6:30 pm. Not one hit! fished the north end, mostly to get out of the wind. Fished plastics, swim baits, crank baits and jigs. Nothing at all. Even the kid at the inspection station said the bass fishing sucks this year.

      Report: I havent been to Don Pedro really , only my second trip....and I went in the middle of the day, with my son...so my fishing was half-hearted to say the least.....but Thought it worth mentioning that we saw several 1.5" crawdads light green with orange tipped claws and tails. Might help you guys match the hatch.

      Report: Went to Cottage Grove on the 30th, 31st and Aug. 1st. The amazing fishing doesn't seem to be letting up. I fished 2 of the same spots that I hit last weekend. I got a 4 lb.,3 oz. from the first spot and a 3 lb, 2 oz. from the 2nd spot. On the 31st I got up real early and made it to the lake at just about the crack of dawn. I saw my line jump on the 3rd cast of the day and then it started tightening up. Set the hook and missed! I let the jig drop and 15 seconds later another bite- set and nothing! Now I'm beginning to wonder if it could be the huge beaver I scared off as I walked up to my spot. It wasn't happy and slapped his tail hard as it dove under and swam off. I let the jig drop again and didn't have much hope of getting lucky 3 times. Tap-tap! Who's there? Five pound, 2 ounce bass- 21 1/2" long! Only took about 20 seconds to get it in- it bit about 15 feet from shore in about 2-3 feet of water. I was still in a great mood the next morning. I got there early again on Aug. 1st. I got a 3 lb., 10 oz.- 19" from the 5.2 spot at 6AM sharp. And then tried 2 other spots and couldn't get another bite. All these fish came on the jig- I didn't even bother carrying a second rod this week- the jig is working that well. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get the boat out twice next week- once with the daughter and once alone to see if I can break that 16.5 limit. What would really be cool is if she broke my record herself.
      City: yoncalla, oregon

      Tips: From June 30th through Aug. 1st I've caught 33 bass for 100 pounds and 13 ounces. All but 2 came on a jig. This is by far the best month I've ever had! I'm hoping August beats it. The bite is still going strong and I've got a great supply of jigs and a half dozen good spots that are flat out producing. I'll try my best to get the boat out at least once a week- every week.I'll keep the reports coming but you need to get out there and fish. And punch up a report or two would ya!? It would be nice to know if someone else is having a good month.

      Report: remind me never to try fishing on Labor Day ever again! By 11am the lake was a circus. Boats and Jetskiers hugging the shorlines trying to get some space from other boaters made staying in the water motionless very dangerous.

      Tips: Thought gas prices would deter some boaters from making it out, how stupid am I!?

Threw Senkos and Crankbaits, Caught 6, biggest was on my new combo i bought at Bass Pro Shops, a 5.11 pounder, first fish on that reel and rod! Then launched again Friday morning at 7:00am, Fished the tules, docks, and rock walls, and picked up to more hawgs on the new reel and rod! A 4.7 and a 7.2 pounder, (My personal best!) within ten minutes of each other. This pole is on fire! We caught 10 fish total for the day.
      City: Pleasant Hill

      Tips: Buy a new combo from Bass Pro Shops, specifically the new Abu Garcia Reel. Make good casts, and make sure to understand the tide and where to fish at what times. Best fishing was when tide was going out.
