May 21st 2011 marked Folsom Bass Teams 5th annual CAST for Kids event held on Folsom Lake California Folsom Bass Team in conjunction with Capitol Autism hosted over 32 kids and families for a wonderful day of fishing, BBQ, trophies and a day that everyone will remember. Thank you for all that participated!
A BIG thank you to Mother Nature who was kind enough to give us a good day of fishing, Folsom Lake is currently full of water, meaning the willows have water on em and the fish LOVE hangin in these willow trees. The morning was overcast with a slight breeze coming out of the east, i made a quick run to a cove that had willow trees and worked my way down the bank First willow flip a Yum Dinger in Watermelon Seed and have a fish just swim off with it, set the hook to pass the rod over to my kid and oops she came off. I quickly changed hooks and went to the next willow in about 14' flip the senko and BOOM fish on a chuncky 3lb spot, flip the next willow for nada and the next for a 2lb spot. The key here was that the Yum Dinger had to be up against the tree trunk on a vertical fall, the trees in 14' - 10' held fish the shallower ones not so much. The other observation is these fish have not fully spawned yet!
Later in the afternoon I was able to get out with Dick and fished a swimbait for the rest of the afternoon - what i witnessed was something else first cast on the swimbait and a BIG smallie was tracking it - second cast another cruizer working down the bank I would bang the swimbait into the rocks and these fish just jumped on the swimbait - Unfortunatly it was a new bait for me and I was not dialed into it - but by the end of the afternoon we saw multiple 4's and 5's cruising the 10' ledge coming into the coves - these girls are just moving up come June 17th full moon you have best be on your best water cause I believe the fish will be on a big move to the bank! Folsom is great this time of year, take a kid fishing.
