      Water Temp: 74

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: I had the previlage of taking a wonderful family out fishing Thursday. We started in the main body fishing points and coves. It was just a little late to throw top water lures so I had them start out with tubes. The clear sparkle gitzit was the best producer. Most of the bass had their mouths full of pond smelt. You could see the bass chasing the pond smelt all over the main body. We moved up into the slot area and continued to catch some nice bass. They had around twenty bass with 4 over the largest being 2.7 lbs. and a nice Florida Large Mouth. Good to see these bass showing up more. I thought they did pretty good for a half day and just learning how to fish. The following day, Friday I took a seasoned fisherman out for a half day and the results were about the same with 3 over and another nice Florida Large Mouth.
      City: Paradise

      Tips: Tubes, senko's,spinner baits, drop shot all worked. Try the top water lures first thing before the Sun is up. Then start useing the other methods. The Spillway ramp did close this week leaving Bidwell the only ramp open. On the weekends go early to miss the congestion. One ramp,one lane, and one short dock can back up real fast.

      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!!!
      City: visalia

      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.

      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.
