Wednesday Ben(Fish'in Comfort: 530-949-4303), Keith and I decided to try fishing in some different areas. We started trolling right at 7AM in Gooseneck Cove on the Sacramento Arm. The hot color was orange and yellow at 20-25 feet. After a couple of hours and 8 nice Rainbow, we wanted to check out Toupee Island, Digger Bay and the Dam. Not only did we NOT catch fish, but we didn't mark them either! Next Wednesday we're going to target Big Browns(10-18#) Another boat caught a nice 7# Brown(pictures also) and a couple of limits of Rainbows also in Gooseneck. The Browns and Rainbows are just about jumping in the boat on the Upper McCloud Arm! Tossing grubs and worms on a leadhead hook is producing 30-40 bass per trip. Yesterday the anglers fishing on the Pit Arm were catching a ton of Spotted Bass up to 5#. They're biting on all the Arms right now and some are just busting with eggs. The water temperature is 53 degrees in the main body of the lake and 59 degrees in the small coves. Grab your fishing buddies and head for the lake as soon as possible for an awesome time! Drop by the Basshole and I'll hook you up with the colors and locations. Mark your calendars for the Shasta Lake Classic Team Tourney(Salmon and Trout) on May 5th and 6th. Weigh-ins will be at the Basshole. 1st Prize- $3,000, 2nd Prize- $2,000, 3rd Prize- $1,000. Payouts will be given to the Top 25 teams! Contact Harold Jones(Sugarloaf Cottages) at 1-800-953-4432.
