Spent about 6 hours yesterday (Aug 28) hitting the ledges off the banks just down river from Garcia Bend. Last time out, I caught 20+ casting right on the shoreline, but they were all pretty small. So yesterday, I moved off shore about 6-10 feet just drifted with the current and fished a little deeper just off the rock ledges. The results were fantastic! I caught another 20 or so, but two of them were 2 pounds plus and the others were definitely larger than the babies I was catching last time out. For some reason the pumpkin colors weren't working, but things really picked up when I switched to the Plum Apple. Those Spotties tore up almost my entire package of that color. I'm going to have to reload. Next time out....I'll be in search of the 3-4 pounders....

Had a great day on Saturday, Sept 10. Got on the water at about 7:30 am. The temps were finally cooled down after a week of extremely hot weather in Sacramento. I don't think it got over 90 degrees, which beats the heck out of the 115 we've been experiencing. I headed straight for the bank, tied on a Rapala X-Rap Popper and on my third cast, caught the first of about 20 bass over the next 2 1/2 hours. Largest I caught was only 1.5 lbs, but it was a blast watching those fish blow up that top water lure. At about 10 am or so, the bite just seemed to turn off. So after trying a shad swim bait, as well as a Texas rig with various color worms and having little luck, I tied up a trusty Wacky Rig with a green pumpkin/black flake worm and things fired right back up again. I got off the water at about 4pm having caught 35-40 bass. Such a blast having that kind of success out there. I'm still trying to learn how to find and catch the larger bass that I know are out there. But in the meantime, I'll take a day like that any time it happens.
