Fishing Reports

Here's one from Manuel Z -0n- Fishing, sent June 1, 1997.
I was out at Calaveras lake today and fishing with my Dad at his (USUAL SPOT) "The Crappie wall" We got there at about 6:30am and set out some lines with Crawfish (For Redfish) a couple lines with either Perch or Tilapia 2" to 3" in length (For Reds or Big Catfish), And we caught nothing, But to pass the time we were fishing with Chicken Livers...Catfish and 15-17" Stripers kept us busy! HERES THE (NEW TRICK!) For some reason I tied on a 2Oz white/yellow Striper Jig to my (BIG) 10' rod and started chunking and winding it. In a very short time all hell broke loose, within 20-30 minutes I'd landed 2 Redfish weighing 12 and 15 Lbs, Just my luck there was a GUIDE sitting in the boat next to me just passing time waiting for his customers to call him in...And of course he announced over the radio to everyone what I caught and how I caught them, about 20 minutes after the guide left, he returned with 4 Fishermen and crowded us with a bunch of novice fishermen, Of course I was none too pleased with this but hey, It's a public lake...So I kept my comments to myself...Aaaaanyway... About an hour or two later the guide, His fishermen and about 7, 12 plus pound Redfish left my spot.... So there you have it (I) just announced it to you so you can announce it to your Web sites visitors... STRIPER JIGS ARE TEARING UP THE REDFISH.....Actually...ANYTHING WHITE and/or FLASHY will work on them too.
Tight lines to ya!

Here is another from Fred.
Fred's fishing report was rather sparse, but funny, and it read - "I didn't catch any winners, but I once ate 32 shrimp! "
Thanks for that one Fred, I'm sure we all could use a bit of humor when the fishing is slow.

Lake Tawokoni -Stripers are good on live shad in 35-45 feet of water. The thermocline has set up about 25 feet down. Water temperature at that level is still a warm 84 degrees F. Sassy Shad are working if the stripers are in a feeding mode. Find the points and motor out to the drop offs. Search with your depth finder for clouds of shad (they will be small this time of year). The stripers should be suspended somewhere from 28 to 20 feet. The trees in the middle of the lower lake are good but be careful !e-mail at eamntm@cs.com
