I fished Yuba from shore for a couple of hours while the kids were swimming. I was surprised to catch 2 bass (I think largemouth) about 7 inches long. Also caught a couple carp and had a monster rainbow on before he took me down into the brush and I ended up breaking him off. Had about 10 other hits that I missed. All in all, a decent fishing trip.
I was using my minnow traps with bread to catch some of the minnows I could see in the shallows, but couldn't get them to come in. Any ideas on what to use for those things? This setup is automatic at e-lake and the likes for the red sided shiners. What other baits are you guys using in your traps. If a guy had a net, I'm sure he could catch hundreds as they're really thick.
