Lake Folsom was low as well and all the fish were condensed in the main body. The fishing, was in fact, very good and it was nice to see my fish finder full of fish!

Thanks for the info. I'm itching to get my boat in the water, but the rivers still look to dicey. Hopefully they'll open soon. I got to get this skunk off my back.
Caliman, great vid of the red newt. Thanks

Anyone know how the trout/bass fishing on Folsom Lake is ? Not sure if they are stocking it and the drought might have taken it's toll.
Was just there on Monday. Spent more time dodging logs than fishing. Conditions are not good for boaters until they can get a clean up crew out there to clear the debris. When it does bass fishing, trout, and salmon are all good options. A friend of mine caught a trout a couple weeks ago up the North Fork at the confluence. He also saw this cool looking creature!

One of the best days fishing of my life happened at Raritan Bay last week. I was staying at my brothers and I asked if the fish were still biting out there. He told me that he had put his boat away for the season but that he would give his buddy Vinny a call and see how things were. Vinny owns Karen Ann Charters and a 38ft boat out there and he put us on the fish! I’ll let the pictures do the talking! 😎 These we’re just a few of the many we caught and tagged for Vinny that day. Thought I’d share the bounty with you all out there, have a great weekend everyone!

Hello. I just wanted to ask what are the best lures to use on the Sacramento river when fishing for striped bass and Salmon? I fish mostly off of Freeport blvd
Fish that area regularly all of the above work for salmon although nobody mentioned the brads cut plug. This is a good set up as well using a flasher. You can Google it to get this set up. The late fall run is just starting, so there’s still an opportunity to land one! Good luck out there !

Ranger, Just yesterday I pulled my boat out of the water and had my lamiglass 10 foot fishing rod still attached to my rod holder on my boat. I decided I want to back the boat into the shade so I could prep it for the ride home. When I got out of my truck I walked to the back of my boat, grabbed my rod out of the rod holder only to find it was only half the size it was when I pull the boat out of the water. I couldn’t believe my eyes and didn’t understand how I broken it. As I was standing there holding my fishing rod and the three pieces that are broken from it, a city worker came up to me in his van and explained to me how it was I had broken my friend. My rod holder on the boat had my rod at a slight angle to the outside and when I backed up to get into the shady spot, it hit the sign post on the side of the road and snapped my rod into three pieces. I’m just glad it wasn’t my other friend, Mr. Loomis! Even so as fisherman, when we have an unfortunate accident happen to one of our fishing rods it’s like we’ve lost a good friend. The good news is that creates an excuse to get a new one! Good luck out there!

Welcome to the Forum, Gail, sorry I can't help you but we have a lot of members from CA. They should be along soon.
Welcome Gail, right now most lakes are really low level in the Sacramento area. Try lake Pardee if you are in a boat, last I looked at was 87% full. It’s a nice lake and well maintained. It’s fishing only too! Good luck!

I put this picture into another post on here, but thought I would do a separate post to see if I might get more responses. I find it fascinating, the number of names we all have for the same fish in different parts of the country. So, these are just about anywhere in the US that folks fish, except for a few places probably, when you catch one what do you call it?
Bait!
And the second picture, where could I go in California to catch one of those? And what would you calll it?

Nice going Jim! Never fished Mather Lake. I assume it's now open to the public. How much did the fish weigh? Looks like a lunker!
I didn’t have a scale with me but I would estimate 6-7 lbs.

I know it can get kinda slow over there in the summer when it's hot and it's been hot as blazes up here lately. But Saw1 and bassmatter have been doing pretty well over at Sonoma and around Windsor. They're not far from Clear Lake. That's a big lake, gonna be just a matter of finding em. And if you'd you like to catch a big channel cat, there's plenty of those in there and this is the right time of year - we're talkin 20, 30 pounds or so.
Wow, that is a monster! Congratulations!

Another good day for bass fishing today! This time on Mather Lake 2ft from the edge with a dark Yamamoto craw. The Lord blessed me with 2 today! Good luck out there!

Here in California my experience has shown me that any and all unnatural scent Will without a doubt keep you from catching fish. If I need to use bug repellent I will spray a rag with 100% DEET and then gently wipe my arms, legs, neck, or wherever but I make it a point not to get any on my fingers or hands, and because of that I use a pair of latex gloves when I spread the Deet around. The high concentration of Deet allows you to use less of it, with the same effectiveness as a can of regular repellent. I hope this helps you with your situation and I wish you good luck out there!
