****Mokelumne River at the mouth of Georgiana Slough and Mokelumne River. Light 41. Direction to Mokelumne River: From Bob's Bait Shop, driving along highway 160 towards Isleton Bridge, before you get to Isleton Bridge, turn right at Tyler Island Road, cross small swing birdge then turn right. Keep continue driving until you see the highway 12 bridge in your right hand side and the Mokolumne River in front of you. Park your car and fish.

3. Catfish:

****Georgiana Slough. Clam is the best bait for catfish. Anchovy is an alternative one. When using live clam, the small size of hook should be used. Just one clamp is enough to cover the hook. Just wait for the bite and set the hook. Evening is the best time. You can get 10 to 20 lbs easily.

*****Note: For channel Catfish, Crawdad tail meat is the best bait. Using this bait, you will have more change to get very good size of channel catfish.

****Mokelumne River. Its right at the mouth of Georgiana Slough and Mokelumne River. The technique and bait is same as at Georgiana Slough.

4. American Shad: Starting from the end of March through the end of July, Armerican Shad run up stream to hatch. Fishermen can start fishing American Shad from the end of March now below Freeport Bridge and above New Hope Landing. In late June, shad can run up to Nimbus Damp, American River if you drive along highway 50 from Bay Area, just pass Sacramento about 12 to 15 miles. Shad may be found at Thermalito After Bay Damp in Oroville in late June or just below Red Bluff Damp on Sacramento River. In Red Bluff Damp and Thermalito After Bay Damp, shad dart, crappie jig with the round red hook and green rubber worm are working better. Fish bite throughout the day; but most productive time is normally early in the morning or late afternoon. If you prefer fly-fishing, Nimbus Damp on the other side of the river, you can walk far from the bank to fish. This is a paid fee park. Remember at Nimbus Damp, the set up is different due to very low and fast current water. The float is used to slow the jig down from fast current and it also helps to avoid snagged. From the float to the 3/4 ounces weight is about 3 feet, and from 3/4 ounces weighted to the jig is about 1-1/2 to 2 feet.

Shad jigs with white/red and white/green colors are most preferred. Fish can weight from one to four pounds.

Techniques:

From the bank: Slider egg sinker 1/2 to 3/4 ounces slides in the line. Tie the end with snap swivel. The leader is about 4 to 5 feet long with one end tie the jig and another end tie as a loop then cross it to snap swivel. Try to prepare two to three leaders with different colors of jig. From the bank, casting the lure up stream as far as you can and reeling it in slowly. When feeling snatching like, set your hook and start fighting. This is very good fighting fish.

From the boat. Set up is different. Weight at the bottom 1 to 1-1/2 ounces then two leaders with two jigs separated each other about 3 feet. The length of the leader is about 2 to 3 feet. Cast your jigs out and reeling slowly. Try a different deep until you cacth the fish. Remember to mark your fishing deep since you may spot a school of shad. You may catch one after another.

5. Crappie: Mostly found at the areas where dead trees are in the water. Seven Miles Slough, Three Miles Slough, and Georgiana Slough are the good area for crappie.

You can either use medium size minnow or jig head to catch crappie. Of course, night crawler is still work but it's not good as medium minnow.

6. Large/Small/Black Bass: TBD
