Nothing pisses you off more than when trolling, say lake Shasta as an example, this time of the year where the thermocline is around 80ish feet down. You’re stacking clips(two per downrigger), you get down to 100’ OTB, and a god damn bass had took one of the lures on the way down
80 feet is ALOT of bass zone to contend with lmaoNothing pisses you off more than when trolling, say lake Shasta as an example, this time of the year where the thermocline is around 80ish feet down.

Out in the middle of the arms, fishing over the old rivers where we nail the fuck out of huge bows and browns, the bass most likely took it on the way down from what i know.
I miss catching the black bass in the delta bro. This lake i live by lake Ororville, mostly is full of smallies. LAME!
Smallies are aggressive though and fight like they are 3xs there size. They are fun but still not a 8lb largemouth.
I caught one at 60' at Bullards Bar. Supposed to be some big spots there, saw a pic of one recently.Nothing pisses you off more than when trolling, say lake Shasta as an example, this time of the year where the thermocline is around 80ish feet down.

So, when I lived in Stockton for 8 yrs, you don’t have to go all the way out there for the bass lemme tell ya.
I still need to get out there and bang out them kokes bro. With you, next summer for sure ok?
I know. I'm in the Fairfield area. I can launch from Belden landing in grizzly and be in bass Territory in 12 minutes. I just meet buddies in those areas and do mini tourneys lol
Yeah i’ve never even wanted to go out towards you for black bass. Stripers and sturgeon baby! Rio vista(had my 23’ trophy in a slip at Vierras), down to the fleet were my regular fishing grounds. Up in Cache too though.
I’ll be 49 next month. This is the first year since needing one, except for being in jail, that i haven’t got a license.
I got mine, been out once and didn't catch anything. I just can't spend much time on the water at the moment. I get a disabled Vet discount though.
Of course the stripers and Sturgeon are the huge thing over here however following the bend around Montezuma slough brings you into less brackish waters.
What stopped you?
So busy finishing up this house i’m building. Plus with the low water conditions, the salmon run is gonna be shitty so i said fuck it
