I spend most of my time on the North Fork when I'm on Folsom. But today I decided to try my luck on the South Fork. I wanted to see if the South Fork Spots like this Outkast Chicken Nugget as much as the North Fork Spots....and it turns out they do! Although, instead of hanging on the ledges on the North Fork, they were holding over submerged rock piles off shore in about 10-20 feet of water. Just cruise around until you find a submerged rock pile. Then just slowly circle it from as far away as you can and still cast over the top, retrieving slow and steady with some minor twitches and you can coax them to bite. I think they keep wanting to get on the shoreline for the spawn...but the weather is just not cooperating. They'll be there soon.... And by the way....have you bought one of these Lew's Custom Pro reels yet...They're amazing!

Fan cast on shore with the bubble gum color and fish loves em. For some reason you catch better and bigger fish with this color than a green pumpkin. The zoom trick worm just have a ton of action underwater. Not only catch bass but caught a huge carp once.

Snuck away for an after work quick run up the North Fork. It's always the Strike King Blue Craw pattern that works out here at Folsom. I ran out of the Ocho worms....so just switched over the Cut-R Worm in the same pattern and there you have it. Spawners haven't quite pulled up on shore yet, so we were catching them in 10-15 feet off shore in and around boulders.
