Its been a while since I posted a report or had anything worth posting about.  The wife and I went out on Sunday and were met with some COLD weather (at least for a Cali boy).  Weather started about 35 degrees and never got above 45.  There was not too much wind and the bite was very slow.  All together my wife and I landed 8 bass, 7 of them keepers and 6 were around 2 lbs (not to bad for Shasta).  I could not get on a pattern as I only landed 3 bass for the day, all on different baits.  I landed 1 on a 1/2 oz football jig with a six inch GYCB single tail grub, 1 on a 1/4 oz ball head jig with a five inch curly tail grub, and 1 on a 1 oz tailspin (my first bass on this bait).  My wife found some success on a 1/4 oz ball head jig with a five inch curly tail grub, as she landed all five of her bass using this.  Today was the first day this year that neither of use caught at least one using drop shot.  Even though it was a slow day, still worth the time and effort and still fun being with the wife.

My biggest of the day (caught in the mouth of a small waterfall)

Biggest of the day (my wife is very adept at making bass look their biggest)

Only posted this picture because it was the first bass caught on a tail spin and my first on my Heavy casting rod

Nice fish!!! That looks like my kind of lake. Is it all spotted bass in there?

Its mostly spotted bass but we usually land one or two small mouth a trip.  There used to be a healthy population of florida strain lmb but they have declined quite a bit since their heyday in the late 70s. The lakes water level fluctuates a lot every year (drawdowns as low as 170ft from full pool some times) and the lmb dont seem to survive as well in the lake

Gotcha thanks 

Your third picture from the bottom, I caught my best fish of the day on that same day on that same point.
