      Report: Stayed on the main lake all day. The lake is coming up an inch or two a day so they must have just pulled the plug on Coyote up above whatever reason. Fish were in the 10-15 ft range eating jigs until noon or so then my guest and I moved off and caught fish shaking and dropshotting in 25-40..Fish mudlines to catch better quality. My guest for the day had a 5+ come unbuttoned on a jig. Greens and browns for the jigs and shad colored baits for plastics. Boated 20 or so keepers.

      Report: Fished a club fishout saterday the 20th. We lanched out of Sanish flat. The wind was so bad I never left the spanish flat area. My partner Russel and I started fishing at the mouth of capell. I caught two smallies (short of course)on a splitsot purple ghost 4" (Kevkel worm).Russel caught a 16 1/2" largemouth. We fished the long point for about an hour. We then moved to the docks at steel park. We tried pitching jigs and sincos, no good. We started pitching splitshot rigs up too the main walk and draging them out.We caught all our fish on watermelon baby brush hogs.We ended up doing this all day because we were catching fish. Russ ended up winning the tourniment with 13.65lbs and I took tenth with only 3.15lbs. Not bad for hiding out of the wind.
      City: san jose

      Tips: There is fish all over the lake, Find some type of structure in about 15' to 35' and fish any of your confedents baits. People in the club caught fish every where and on all different types of baits, the only thing is everyone was fishing 15' to 40' deep. Have fun, be safe and tight lines.

      Report: Tough for us on Sat. Got a decent striper on a Blade and got a few other small largemouth on traps, blades, and senkos. Couldn't figure out much of a pattern just jumped around and got one here and one there. First fish was the striper so thought we were gonna do good even with the conditions. Windy as heck but still fun.

      Report: Boy what a cold and windy weekend! After finishing a number of errands around the house and talking with a couple of striper fisherman trolling in Disco Bay behind my house I decided to spend about an hour trolling for stripers on Sat. With the high winds and high pressure system most people I spoke to were having a difficult time catching fish (especially the live bait fishermen). With this in mind I decided to troll a 3/4oz rat-l-trap in chrome/blue/bleeding shad on 12lb Yo-Zuri behind the boat. After about the first circle around the lagoon behind my house I was able to hook up with a nice 2lb striper off a point. I then proceeded to hit a couple of other sloughs with no so much as a bite for about an hour. Then on my way back home I went past the same spot I caught the first one and hooked up with a striper in the 8-10 lb range that I lost at the boat along with my rat-l-trap. Next time I

      Report: Spent part of the morning in the fog waiting for it to lift, while fishing in Disappointment near Paradise Point. Finding the tide on a incoming move we started fishing on the outside of the weed line at tule points. We found 3ft dropping off to 20ft on these points in current. It seems that the bass were sitting on top waiting for the bait fish. We found some bails of bait, but no strippers around. Moving into White slough later cranking, worms, spinners and senkos finding more small bass. We were fishing a small tourament with Basin Bass Masters of 12 boats, big fish was a 4.56, big bag 10.8?. Not a big day but fun in the delta with friends. The winds started up about 1pm.

      Tips: fish slow, use big line and hooks, dark colors in dark waters, senkos, worms and lizards work also.

      Report: Hit up Dixon last Sunday, fishing out of a rental row boat. I went with my buddy and we planed on fishing dropshoted plastics in 25-30 feet of water off bass point. After about 45 minutes of fishing I finally hooked up, but it was a dink 11". Fished for another hour or so with one more bite. We both decided to switch over, my friend switched to a carolina rigged watermelon black flake gitzit. And i switched to a texas rigged 8" bluegill colored plastic worm and begun fishin again. With in the next our my buddy got three fish on the gitzit. "alright after this cast im switching!" and then bamo an unexpected tap tap i set the hook and hes on. With in the next 30 seconds into the fight he came up and spit it. That fish was at least 8+. That was the last fish of the day.
      City: Vista

      Tips: The fish are holding deep in at least 25-30 feet.
      Carolina rigged Gitzit seemed to account for most fish but if you want a big un fish the big baits!

One guy caught 2 rattletrap fish up shallow.
