      Report: On the water at 3:30 with a buddy and went North. We caught fish on senkos and jigs, nothing over 2.5 lbs . We had 10 fish at 6:30 and decided to make a move.Went to a spot I checked out two month's ago when water level was low.Spawning area with a creek channel going thru it.in 30 minutes we had 8 fish all largemouth. My friend had a 10 lb and I got a 5 lb the rest were 2 lb to 3 lb. Yes I had a scale and weighed them.
      City: Granite Bay Ca.

      Tips: Senkos. Clementine is a great lake if your vehicle has a tight turning radius. Best baits are paddle tail grubs,small reapers, jigs, and senkos. Also a great top water evening bite on rico's and small prop baits. I have never done well there with worms. Good fishing Paulbo

      Report: Just to get back to "fshken", not a report. Hey dude you need to post on the forum for questions like this. Anyway Clementine has a rough road going in, be careful, it is loaded with smallies(some regard it as their secret lake). Jim

      Report: Bass here are starting to come up shallow also with some bass going to 3 pounds. Wacky worm senko's in watermelon red/black flake are catching most of the bass here. There a good number of 12 to 15 inch bass being caught here. traffic is light even on the weekends. This lake could be a sleeper for a big bass on swimbaits here. Jigs are also working in 1/4 oz arkie head brown/purple with a 221 yamamoto cinnimon purple flake 4" twin tail grub trailer.

      Report: Best day I've here in a loooonnng time. 40+fish day. Lots between 2-4 #'s. 4" oxblood was the ticket. We trolled for a few white bass as well.

      Tips: Split shot about 18" above your bait and fish slow. They were just picking it up not hitting hard.

      Report: Great day on water. Lots of small fish though. Weather was perfect at about 80 degrees by afternoon, mild wind. Morning bite for small fish was on but the bigger fish were harder to find all day. Most bites came on sharp, primary points with smaller rock on shores (not big chunks, small stuff) up the river arms in 30+ feet of water. Not much happening in the trees or closer to shore for me this day.

      Started morning off with rip baits and got nothing. Then moved to senkos and jigs and got a few rats.

      Did get a few fish on a spinnerbait in shallow water but the better fish were on a texas rigged robo fished deep or with a middle range crank bait over deeper water (30-40 feet-fish were suspended middle of water column in many cases). Steeps were better than flasts/coves. Used the drop shot but all fish were rats.

      Had a hard time catching any fish in the coves or main lake in the southern end or dam areas. It was all about primary points and deep water for me up the western river arms. Best fish of the day was about 3.5 lbs on the robo.

      Never seen so many trout/kokane jumping in my life though and wish I had a spinner or two in my boat at times. Like bricks falling out of the sky that day. Scared the heck out of me a few times when I wasn't looking.
      City: San Rafael

      Tips: Best colors for the deep fish were dark colors (purples and blacks). I actually had to have the bait moving or hopping a bit to get bit. Shallow fish hit a chartreuse SB with double gold blades. Crank was a chrome color.

      Report: I hit up the south end around 1pm and started out with a shaky head, I had no bites, so i tied on a blade and what can I say, a nice 3lbr and then a few small ones. I kept using the blade a picked up about 10 fish in three hours. I tlaked toa guy that had been fishing a shaky head and he had 20+ for the day. I found a few on the shaky head but the nicer fish hit the blade.

      Report: Partner and I caught 12, 6 keepers. 3 were over 15". Of those three, two were caught on Spinnerbait in 3' of water. The others were by Drop-Shot Roboworms in 12' to 20' of water.
      City: Santa Clara

      Tips: Fished the mud lines on flat windy banks. The fish seem to be moving up to bed. The bite is very aggressive if you can find them. Good luck and Tight Lines!

      Report: Started out great in the morning on reaction using Voo-Doo chatter baits as well as rip baits. Main lake points and flats. Mid morning the jig bite turned on creek channels. Fish made a big move in the afternoon suspending in the grass lines killed them on senkos. Even nailed a bed fish. Over all 30 plus fish most in the 2.5 pound range up to 4.5 best five at 16.5
      City: Vacaville

      Tips: The water is very clear in some spots making the fish very spooky avoid these in the afternoon until they are locked on the beds, great at first light . Stained water will produce more consistantly. As for bait colors The Voo-Doo chart shad, hang on the hit are very hard on the bait work it just over the grass. Chart shad rips on the points. Brown and purple jigs. Green pumpkin for the Senkos. I want to wish all the Future Pro anglers good luck on the 24th, I will be up there on the 23rd as a guest speaker looking foreward to it.

      Tips: Early morning, fish biting on dark colors and later in the morning, started to catch them on light color worms. Fished around 15' mostly spots and LG, only one smallie.

      Report: Went out Sunday morning with my good friend Eric. Started out fishin in the narrows throwing green pumpkin plastic's. Eric got a few in the boat, then moved up north where Eric lost two good one's on a swimbait. Me still nothing. Moved over to Rancho where we hooked up and yes I got my first one for the day. Switched over to using ripbaits around lunch time. Eric ended up with about 30 bass and I about 7. Seen lot's of bass following the ripbaits but most did not commit to them. Great day on the lake, awesome weather. Lot's of pleasure boaters out. Top five went around 15.

      Tips: fish the afternoons in the coves where the boat traffic has made mudlines.
