The exact lure is MEGABASS 3/8 oz. SUPER-Z Z3 style: baby bass. A steady slow crank with pauses was irresistible today.

Points
This was my first trip out to Lake Oroville, and I was not disappointed. Can't wait to get out there again cuz those bass fight twice as hard as their size. And with 16 fish in the 2-3 lb range, it made for a fantastic day. And as mentioned, it seemed every one of those fish put up a fight that had me thinking they were going to be twice as big. I just received my latest order of tackle from Omnia and put it right to use. I started up the north fork, using a Ned rig on the points. The Zman Finesse TRD was killin it! (I was using The Deal pattern) When I advanced into a cove, I switched over to the Whopper Plopper and tried some jerk baits as well. Although I caught a few in the coves, I pretty much hurried over to the next point, because that's where the bigger fish were holding. They were in the 20-30 ft deep range on either side of the point. I would never have left the north fork, but since this was my first time on Oroville, I wanted to explore a little bit. Spent some time at the Dam, but only smaller fish there. And went under the bridge to the upper south fork with more success on the points. Overall a great day. My top five fish added up to 14lbs 4oz.
