Not sure what it is about red flakes in a Yamamoto Senko at New Melones, but that's what they want! Although I was catching a bunch of teenagers this day, I caught a lot of them and it was a blast. Just had to flick that Senko near boulders and ledges and I was off and running. And got the trifecta today with smallies, spots and largemouth.
