TechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructureRip RapI launched at New Hope and spent most of my time on the N Mokelumne. The crankbait bite was a blast. Wish I had a picture of the 5+ pounder that got away....but I got her close enough before she escaped to know it would have been my biggest of the year...so far. (Clear Lake is on the near horizon for me....) Also had a nice top water blow up on the Vega Frog from 6th Sense. Love that Frogville pattern.
