Just had a couple hours Saturday afternoon. Launched at Browns Ravine and headed up the South fork. I was above Salmon Falls Bridge, just Flipping around submerged rock piles. This was the best one of the day...2 1/2 lbs.

I shouldn't be sharing this... On Folsom right now there is a very hot bite that has been going on for a few weeks. If you are fishing in the heat and not getting bit..... STOP. Launch in the evening around 7 pm. Bring 3 rods. 1 for 10-15' small profile cranks, 1 for 15+ large-bodied crankbaits, 1 for 20+ cranks up to yes magnum cranks. Using Active Target start scanning spots for fish in that 10-30' zone. Keep moving spots until you find a better concentration of larger fish. Start cranking as deep as you can. You prob won't get bit until the evening starts to set in. Once it does, it's game on. There are a few spots that are key but I'll leave that up to you to find them. Should work just about anywhere you can graph fish. One key is to throw a variety of baits and keep switching to find out which they want more, tight, wide, loud, silent, small/large profile etc. Been wrecking the spots and smallmouth, doubling up many times when someone else is in the boat and often catching them one after another... The bite will get better as the light disappears. Start with natural smaller profile, or translucent baits and work your way to large and gaudy as the sun goes down. Hope this helps. I'll be sad if this bite gets blown out for sharing but is what it is. I'll go find another bite. Good luck.
