My son's and I do a lot of trout fishing,however want to start to go for some large mouth bass. we are bank fisherman looking for a good spots near Modesto

Before somebody else jumps in - welcome to the wonderful world of bass fishing - there is lots of good information in the "articles" section of the forum.

Also, I don't know much about Modesto but you might try posting in the "fishing locations" part and perhaps somebody closer to you can offer some suggestions.

Good luck and tight lines.

Beware the bait monkey!
