I have fished northern cali for a good part of my life. I have had great success and a couple 5lb smallmouths to prove it fishing at shasta lake. I simply cast towards the bank getting within a few feet making sure too keep the lure off the bottom while jigging it. I jig the bait from the rod tip about 7 to 11 o'clock. Keep the line somewhat tight and be ready for a bite on the lure's free fall. [/reply]
Since I only go on boat rentals every now and then, i really don't get to do that a lot, but it has worked for me sometimes.
Thanks for the tip.
