      Report: fished a two day this weekend.. saturday 2-8pm and sunday 6-12pm . friday prefishing everything worked.. saturday was tougher at the end of the day i went to six pound line and a small worm to fill out limit.. sunday started out ok with senkos working then bite stopped for me. my partner was again using six pound line and the small worm and catching fish so here i go .. about 8:30 am i stick a MONSTER .. partner and i saw it jump twice and then it made a run from about 40 feet behind the boat to 40 feet in front of boat in what seemed like two seconds.. and then BYE BYE.. i said it had to be 10 but partner said he fishes a lot of tourneys and he thought it was at least 12 !! i think 6 lb line might have gotten the bite but was useless against that fish .
      City: sunnyvale

      Tips: when bite stalls go small.. BUT i think at clear lake or delta i'm going to at least 8.. maybe ten.. that for me was the biggest i've ever had on even at el salto .. and it was in a tournament..

      Report: Put in at first light in Lucern and fished the north end for a good part of the morning with very little action, back seater landed two on senkos. No top water action at all. Moved around all morning looking for some good areas to fish without so many weeds. By 1 pm I was still fish less and we moved by shag rock and they began biting. Fished that area for a while and headed for some docks with fish on almost every dock. We found some good shorline with overhanging trees and caught more. Nothing bigger than 3 all day but a good day none the less. We finished with over 25 for the day mostly on senkos and dropshot.
      City: Grass Valley

      Tips: Get on the lake and go with what you know, I have never fished the heavy mat and weeds like what we found in our normal spots. Once we figured it out we turned a bad day into a good one.

      Report: Fished this past wed, thur, fri in the middle portion of the lake. I did not do as well as expected. The water is too clear (hardly any algae)and had too many weeds. The worse kind of weeds I have seen on any lake. The are long and stringy. Some are as deep as 15 feet! Not even a texas rig worm can get through them without grabbin weeds every time. What a bummer. The clear water and weeds threw me off. A lot of my normal spots were all jacked up. Anyway, we made the best of it and were able to catch fish. I saw some fish caught. Most people said they were catching them too, but it was not great fishing by any means.

      I did see some shad 1/2" - 1".
      City: Elk Grove

      Tips: Crawfish patterns worked better than worms....Good luck lets hope shad and algae are just getting a slow start...

      Water Temp: 81

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: On the water at 6:15- tried topwater with no takers. A couple of bites on a swimbait but they wouldn't eat it. As soon as I picked up the darthead, it was on! I caught about 20 with the best 5 going about 15lbs. Hint- fish very shallow.
      City: Elk Grove

      Tips: Windblown rocks on the main body were best. I tried the South Fork and it was not happening for me. Smokey skies were helpful.

      Water Temp: 80

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Worked the North Fork from 9am-3pm. Wind gusts to 15 in AM, 10 in afternoon. Smokey overcast. Best three: a nice 4 lb'er, 3 lb, and a 2.5 lb. Only small ones in AM on topwater. Bite turned on for me around noon. Had best luck with slow-dragging craw color jigs at the base of rockpiles, and shad color swimbaits (6") over tops of shallow rock gardens.
      City: Folsom

      Tips: Rockpiles on edge of deeper (15' or more) water is the key. Only a few more days and the rec boaters are gone, then lake back to 5 mph. Wahoo.

      Report: Started at 9am fished till like 12pm. The wind started to pick up about 11am. Very hard to control the trolling motor. Bite was good in the morning till about 10am.. Boated only 3 fish. biggest of them was 3.5lbs. Missed alot of bites!!! I guess fish does bite even with the crazy 20mph gust.. Mainly biting on deadly ringer. caught 1 on wacky senko. bites on jig, but, couldnt boat it.
      City: San Francisco

      Tips: The wind needs to stop and the system needs to kick in so that we can start fishing frogs!!

      Report: Found some largemouth in the canals. Caught 3 all about 15 inches. Fishing Senkos and a Slugo. There did not appear to be too many fish, saw no small ones. Locals blame grass carp and spraying to get rid of milfoil.

      Water Temp: even warmer

      Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

      Report: Went to Cottage Grove for about 45 minutes on the way to work today. I didn't get a bite at my first spot but at 6:10AM at my second spot I tossed my jig way, way out there. About 2 seconds after it hit bottom a bass nailed it. I could see my line rocketing to the surface and 3 or 4 seconds later the bass was dancing and thrashing on the surface. I let it tire itself out a bit and then netted it. It was another one of those lean, almost athletic looking bass. It was 19 1/2" and 3 lbs., 2oz.. If I did my math right that makes the last dozen bass 38 pounds. I knew they'd turn on big time sooner or later.
      City: yoncalla, oregon

      Tips: Sell all your gear except your best jig rod and your box of jigs, quit your job and fish all day every day!

      Report: Launched at russo's ran to disco picked up 5 fish 2-3 pounds on slammers and senkos. Ran to widows got a few frog fish and a buzzbait fish, refueled with some cold drinks at rivers end. My partner got a 7# on a frog and we added 2 or 3 more frog fish, widows again senkos for a few more fish. Then we called it a day. not too bad about 19#s for best 5.
      City: Where the fish are

      Tips: throw topwater all day, and bring your senkos. blades and traps wouldnt be too day either, but there wasn't much wind. Shade is key.

      Report: A friend of mine asked me to help him pre-fish for a tournament - and of course I did! We started about 4 pm out of the Oaks and quit about 1 am. Fishing was great with very few slow periods. We caught 60 bass at least and he got a pretty good one at 6 lbs 2 oz. We caught mostly 2 to 3 pounders like everyone else, but several in the 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 range. Our 5 best - about 22 lbs. Bass depths ranged from surface (frog bite) to about 20+ feet. We fished all three areas of the lake. The smoke cleared enough that we could see Lakeport at midnight from the narrows. Hot, hot, hot during the afternoon - be careful!!
      City: Yuba city

      Tips: I can't say anything about our baits and locations. As I do for all my clients and friends - if they are fishing an up-coming tourney - mums the word! Last night was one of the only nights I can remember where the bite was really good but the carp were silent. Didn't hear any roll - probably because of their post-spawn. I still think the bass overall look a little thin - hope the shad make a comeback! Water is the clearest I have ever seen in July - at least yesterday. A little floating algae but not much.

      Report: Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted lately, the computer age has pretty much passed me by. The d*mn thing just won't cooperate. Anyway, the last Jason Fisher Tourney is this Sat the 12th. It's another "Take a Kid Fishing" event. It's a team format, but a 3rd team member is allowed if they're under 15. We'll have a little kids tourney after the weigh-in where the kids will be able to win a really nice Rod-Reel combo. So bring your kid(s) and let's have some fun. I'll be at the Trinity Center ramp @ 4 AM to take sign-ups ( only $40.00) and the Fisher family will be hosting a BBQ after. What more could you want. If you need more details, give me a call @ 530-623-4352.
      City: Weaverville

      Tips: If you can't make it this weekend, just go ahead and take a kid fishing anyway.

      Report: Headed out to do a boat/trollin motor ops check, and all was good thank goodness. Ofcourse brought a few rods I headed back towards the rock creek and fished the Island area instead since water levels are down a ways. I cranked a dink spot, hooked up with another one, but came unbuttoned before I could get it in the boat. Around 1125 it was really hot, so I moved up the river arm and drop shotted a gulp minnow for a 10" smallie, a new one for me? Then 1145 came around and could not keep the sweat out of my eyes, and called it a day.
      City: Yuba City

      Tips: The water is definitley a tad cooler in the river arm, and better clarity as well. Watch out for swimmers out in the middle of the boating channels almost ran over three of them, I ended up giving the a ride back to the dock from across the first main lake point diagnol to the left from the boat dock! They wanted to swim over and back just to see if they could do it, of the four only one made it back, the other three were almost victims of my prop. I shut it down about 60' away from them.
