      Report: I had the pleasure to fish the Elk Grove Bass Tournament at Oroville February 19th. It was a tough day on the lake that started out with beautiful sunshine and ended with rain, rain, rain. I did get on fish at my first spot at about 7:15am with one almost 15" in the boat on a crankbait. I missed 3 later on a jig, one while I enjoyed lunch in one hand. I had a great time fishing even though I didn't get to weigh in any fish, and enjoyed talking with the guys who were there early in the morning before sign up started. I missed the name of the guy next to me with the Ranger that had the pirate flag, but get hold of me sometime to fish if you are reading this!
      City: Sacramento

      Tips: Yellow cranks and watermelon jigs were the only thing I got bit on!

      Report: Lanuched out of Capel Cove and started fishing a little north of rockslide. Started off crankning and did'nt stop all day! First fish was a fat 3.5 smallie wich was followed up by a sold 2 pound spot 10 minutes later! Caught about 6 1-1.5 spots and kept fishing crank (Norman DD22). About and hour before I left hooked into a good fish, jumped about 10 feet from the boat and I FREAKED out! Finallly fought it for about 30 more seconds before baoting a beatiful 7 pound largemouth! My new personal best. If your fishing this lake anytime soon start north of rockslide put trolling motor in and go slow up norther cranking.
      City: Calistoga

      Tips: Crankbait was Norman DD22 (color, white), tried jig with only a couple bites but no hook up. Good luck and have fun.

      Report: Well, here is a report on Applegate Resevoir which I'm submitting here until Western Bass posts our southern Oregon lakes.... My grandson and I couldn't pass up a pretty day like it was today, so off to Applegate we went.... Haven't fished it since last year, but thought we would give it a try... First thing we found out is how low the water level is..... French gulch is the only ramp in the water (Hart-Tish park hasn't opened yet, and Copper is WAY out of the water) and it is a L O N G way down the ramp at French gulch.... We launched with no problems though and started fishing as soon as we got in the water... Fished the steep banks, old roadbeds, some brush we found, and then went up to the end (as far as we could go with low water) of Squaw Creek arm.... Graphed a lot of fish, and fished from 10 feet to 50 feet of water, and coulcn't seem to interest them in anything that we threw... Maybe I've lost my touch over the winter?????? Well, next month Clearlake, and if that doesn't work, does anybody want to buy a Stratos????
      City: Williams Oregon

      Tips: Water temperature is still pretty low, maybe they will turn on in a few weeks....... Going to go to Lost Creek this week, maybe we can fool some of the young dumb smallies up the river.......

      Report: Wow Folsom is on fire, seems like someone fliped the light switch on those spots and smallies! By far this was my best trip ever to folsom, I started over on beals point and worked my way all the way to granite by the low water ramp, switching between a 6" warmouth robo and a yamamoto spider grub from the bank down to 15 ft. I caught 13 between 1.97 and 3.64 mostly around 2 3/4 lb.fish but i caught 2 stud smallies at 4.09 and 4.32 on the robo worm. I was feeling lucky so I ran up by rattlesnake and boy was it on fire!! I caught 7 fish in the bend across from the ramp between 2.93 and 3.77 lbs. my best 5 went just over 19 lbs. my best day before today was just over 12 lbs last march.
      City: Rocklin

      Tips: 6" warmouth robo worms on 1/4 oz. darter heads. 10 lb test big game line. and the fish really wanted the worm worked really fast. but the jig fish were more of a slower deal. Hopefully this will help someone else enjoy a day like today. oh yeah some guy was throwing a white buzzbait up at rattle snake and said he had caught 3 on it ?? go figure?

      Report: Fished in stormy weather for about 3 hours from 2 till 5pm. Caught one nice one. My first swimbait fish. (8lb 2 oz) Got her fishing from shore off a rock point near the dam. 9" Castaic rainbow swimbait. She hit like a freight train. It was a great feeling bringing her in. Took some photos with my new cell phone and released her unharmed and healthy.

      Report: Why is it that all the lakes in the south bay opens at 9am? By that time the best bite is over. I used to live in the south bay and when we were able to park on the levee road, we would have the best bite around 6am. Now that there is no parking there and the lake opens late I don't see fishing these lakes along with jet skiers and personnal water crafts would be that productive. Tell you what I'm living in Stockton now and the motherload lakes are kicking solid bass just like Calero use to when we were able to fish it early. Just a shame.

      Water Temp: 47

      Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

      Report: Out today with good friend and awesome guide John Gray. First stop caught 4 smallies, up to 4lbs. The rest of the day going to different spots catching a mix of largemouth(5lbs) and smallmouth and one largemouth at 8.7 lbs. By far my best trip to Trinity! If you are looking for a guided fishing trip on Trinity talk to John Gray (The Maine Guide). That man knows fishing and his way around Trinity Lake.

      Thanks again for the awesome day! You were the cure for what I needed.

      Report: made a couple more trips to fish, did pretty well considering how cold it was. As far as this persons comments on the previous report before mine, My private bass lake was meant as a joke!!!! so lighten up. i seldom see anyone else fishing there for bass and i go almost every week. Second of all i cleaned my fish at home and didnt know they were full of eggs when i left the lake with them, so i am no longer taking them home to eat. And yes fish are used for food and there is nothing wrong with eating them. And from what i understand from fish and game, bass have been in this lake from the beginning of time. So you dont know what you are talking about. I post my email address with my reports so if you have a problem email me directly and dont use this report page to air your ignorance. And for the nice people if you need any advice on how to fish or where for bass on this lake i would be glad to help. jon

      Report: Heh Truth your an idiot. Guess ya must not get out to calero much. The ripbait bite will be smoking soon and the crankbait bite in September is unreal. Anyone who fishes Calero often throughout the year knows what I am talking about.

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Fished the morning before it started to rain. Caught 1 keeper striper and 2 bass. We caught keeper striper (and 10 shakers). Decided to play with white/chartruese 1/2 oz Assassinator spinnerbait on the rocky banks and caught the 2 bass (2 and 3 lbs) about 50 ft apart.
      City: Dixon

      Tips: Appears the bass have started to move to the shallows. Both bass were in less than 3 ft of water and hit the spinnerbaits within 5 ft of the bank.

      Report: Well I worked the lake for a few hours with my partners on our float tubes. Bite was really slow due to the cold water temp. I was the last one back and was re-working the tully line on my way back, when I hooked into a nice solid 5lb. fish while flipping a creature bait.
      City: Daly City

      Tips: Water is still very cold. I caught that fish during the warmest part of the day.
