Folsom Lake Bass Fishing – Where are they and what are they eating?

I probably fish Folsom Lake at least 2-3 times a week, 2 of those trips will usually be from shore. I’ll just say, fishing has been pretty tough lately.  I have also been fishing our Bass club tournaments. With both of these in mind, I try to approach each trip with the intention of figuring [...]

March Bass fishing Folsom Lake with the boys

With the water level at Folsom Lake finally starting to stabilize and the fishing starting to pick up a bit, I thought my boys and I would venture out to the lake on Saturday after-noon,..
