I was doing a technique called mid strolling in about 15-20ft. I caught six fish this day doing the same technique.

The weather is crazy and the main body was just too crazy this day, so I walked up and spent a couple hours at Avery's Pond, just above Rattlesnake Bar. What a gem! I was casting out to the middle and slowly popping the Strike King Game Hawg back to the shoreline. Beautiful day out there! Thank you Strike King!

I decided on a last-minute hike up to Mormon Ravine out of Rattlesnake Bar. I didn't get up there till about 7:15 pm, so only had about an hour of daylight before I had to head back. Plenty of time for some fun summer time top water action. This was the best one.... almost 2 lbs... but not quite. Man, it's fun to see these bass blow up a top water lure! ...Accidentally caught a big ol' bullfrog too. :)

Had to stay close to home this weekend, so out I went to Torture Lake...Uh...I mean Folsom Lake. Today, the lake was kind. Had some success with 6th Sense Crush Crank Bait over humps and rises that were about 5-10 feet deep. That bait bump bump and popped right through the sandy, rock surface. I'm still figuring out crank baits, so if this one caught me some fish, I strongly recommend it. And of course, it's not a day of fishing for me if I don't pull out my Texas Rig rod. The Strike King Cut-R-Worm always comes through. The Blue Craw pattern across the entire Strike King line does very well at Folsom. Just head to a rock pile, send it down and hold on! The bass haven't pulled up to spawn yet...but they're coming...

Took my boat out after work to make sure a gas line repair fixed an issue... and since it did, and I was out there... might as well get my line wet. Super hot 101 degrees, water temp a crazy 93 degrees... and yet the Rage Bug slow bounced at about 20 feet does the trick!
