Hi everyone, this last week was a week of transition and change. With the full moon and the changes in the weather from rain and a mini heat wave and 40 mile an hour winds, it was quite a week to put a pattern together. We did notice as the week progressed the fishing and numbers did get better but the best patterns for the week were blades on points and ambush spots and swim baits in the same places and in pockets from 2-5 ft. down to 20 ft. We did find a couple of late spawning banks and took some really nice post spawn large mouth and spots from that bank off the main body with jigs and shacky head worms. All and all it was a great week. For more information or to book a trip call 530-872-0907

Throwing tubes, senkos and blades is all it took to rack up incredible numbers. The largest went just over 2 lbs and most were post spawn. The water temp was upper 60's to low 70's and the lake......
