wow Bill thanks for the Plug. That is really nice of you. I started fishing for bass about 10 years ago because I spent all my time guiding for trout or working the counter in a fly shop talking about trout...I love trout fishing but I needed a change or pace. Once I started talking about it more and more people got interested so I do spend about 1/3 of my time now guiding for bass, stripers, carp, shad. We had one of our best top water years on the L. Sac this summer outside of chico and a few lakes around here as well really cranked out some fish this year. Here are some pics..
