Thunder on Folsom Lake! El Dorado Bass Tournament 4th Place

With the summer temps and dropping water level, it would be an understatement to say fishing has been pretty tough on Folsom lately,.. But, we had a scheduled tournament, spent a couple days on the water and managed to catch a few Bass. I was partnered with Tom and we headed out Friday Sept 11, [...]

Folsom is still dropping!

Folsom Lake is dropping big time! Again! It’s almost down to where it was this time last year. But the fish must be somewhat used to this and still have to eat. I had the boys this morning so we headed down to the Lake to fish for a couple hours. The boys probably had [...]

Folsom Lake Bass Fishing – I got a couple!

I am fortunate that my wife works two days a week (6AM-12noon) and during the summer I get to spend that time with my children. Sometimes we just hang out at home, go catch the free summer movies, etc. But Tuesday we headed out to Folsom Lake. I noticed immediately upon arrival the level was [...]

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 [...]

Usually Sundays are Family days, usually being the key word… Ya know a day of rest, stay home, not really doing too much etc,. Especially it being a little overcast. When we got home from church, I thought I would be content doing just that, nothing! Catch up on my recorded fishing shows, etc. But [...]

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,.. It’s only about a 1/2 mile/2min from our house. We arrived at Browns Ravine and decided we would fish an [...]

March Bass fishing after work Folsom Lake

Photo by Leon Turnbull This month I have been fishing Folsom Lake in the afternoons for a couple hours 2-3 times a week. With water level constantly on the rise the first part of the month, my catch numbers have been pretty low, one or two, nothing consistent or of any size, 12-13″ range. I [...]

Folsom Lake Trout
