I hit Folsom with my buddy Christan Wright the other day. We got on the water at 5:45, there were about 8-15mph winds, water temp 68-73. We had two bites going for us, both were up the north fork, we fished between the Granite Bay ramp and Rattle Snake Bar. The first was fishing offshore rock piles and island tops in search of post spawn fish. We tried to target these areas that were out side of spawning grounds. We caught a bunch of spots and a decent largemouth doing this.
The first fish I caught spit up tons of tiny pond smelt so I put a 2 inch kietech EZ shiner on my drop shot and went to work on them. If you notice fish are eating bait defiantly put a bait fish imitation on your drop shot. The other bite going was a shallow reaction bite along rocky banks. Since it was windy I threw an IMA Flit 120 in the Wakasagi color. The spots there absolutely love that bait, I caught about 5 fish on it. Christan caught some a white spinner bait and also had some big blow ups and followers on an MS Slammer, unfortunately none of them committed to it. If you hit the water soon defiantly give post spawn areas a look. Hope this helps, tight lines.
