    Found a few in shallow backwaters, but got on em in the channel. Found boulders in 10-20 feet. Shakey heads and drop shots worked well. Extremely light bite.

    Had an Epic day on Saturday Sept 11th. My buddy and I boated 49 bass, 44 all from one 300 yard stretch at two different times of the day. Hot bait was the Castaic Atlas White Spinnerbait with a slight modification. The spinnerbait comes with two silver willow leaf blades, after my buddy started catching fish with a war eagle white spinnerbait that had a large silver willow with a small gold, I made the change to the Castaic and made that blade change, once that change was made I started catching fish. We boated roughly 24 fish in the first 2hrs that morning. Fish seemed to scatter so we moved tried a few other area's up river. Caught a couple on a Riot Baits Fuzzy Beaver and Riot Square Bill. On our way to another location down river, we decided to try that stretch one more time. We proceeded to boat another 25 fish on the same White Spinnerbaits over the same 300yrd stretch. The fish were primarily on banks with small gravel and rock on the bank into the water, boat was in about 4-5ft of water casting to the shore. Some laydowns along the bank fish came off of those but primarily fish were chasing bait and really in no specific location other than that stretch. Tried other area's on either side of that and no fish. Something about that stretch that was holding the bait, fish. That area has held fish every time I've fish that river for the last 30yrs but not to this level. Was an awesome day that I would love to repeat again!!!

    Pool 13 is on the rise and the bass are moving into backwater areas with pads and grass. Frogs, pitching and punching are the way to catch them.
