    OK...I'm either becoming a very good Texas Rig fisherman....or I'm just terrible at the other 100 techniques I continually try to master without as much success. Today, it was the trusty Plum Zoom Trick Worm...again...that was pulling them in. Folsom Lake is always a tough one to figure out. The reports are so varied on how to approach the lake. But slow dragging a Texas Rig off of points and submerged rocks and ledges just seems to work. You can tell these bass are really beginning the fall gorge for before winter hits right around the corner. Should be pretty good out there in October.

    I went out for more Folsom Lake punishment last Saturday. :) I was committed to using Jerk Baits trying to expand my knowledge of when to use certain types of baits. But the bass just didn't respond. Just as I was planning to call it a day, I boated up a stream outlet about 50 yards and found some grass lines. I tied on Rapala X-Rap in the yellow perch pattern, and on my 4th cast, got blown up by a 2lb 9oz spottie. Man, she put up a great fight. And turned what could have been a bad outing into a decent outcome. I caught one more, not as large, before the area went silent. Wish I would have taken a better picture! But I was in too much of a hurry to get that X-Rap back out there!
