    Report: I ished at Dixon or the irst time last weekend when I was in the area. I hadn't ever ished this lake beore but had seen the picture o the humongous 20 pounder caught out o here and had to check this place out.I went with a riend Chris, along with both o our girlriends and rented a boat w/ electric motor. I didn't know where to start so we headed towards the stretch o tules across rom the boat launch area, near another dock. We were using spinners, rat-l-traps, as well as sot plastics but couldn't get bit. I wasn't used to ishing rom a boat, and without an anchor we continued to drit ocourse.The water was very warm, and very clear (not sure i this is normal). I did spot a ew largemouths ranging in the 2-3 pound range, but couldn't get any o them to strike.I would love to talk to someone who ishes here oten, any pointers would be great or the next trip I make. I anyone reads this, and ishes Dixon oten, please send me an e-mail at skatter@bayareaishing.net.

    Report: Hope I can catch that big 25lb fish and have a good bass dinner. Bass and chips of course with a little malt vinegar.

    Report: So you would have made the decision to break the law and submit a tainted catch for consideration for one of the most revered records in the fishing world. I'd rather see a bank angler hook it in the mouth using natural bait, have it wieghed on a certified scale, get the record, and eat the fish for dinner if that is what he or she chose to do with the LEGALLY caught bass.....

    Report: Hey Zack...can we watch the language, kids read this forum.....What happened to sportsmanship and ethics??? Your comment represent attitudes that hurt all outdoors enthusiasts....Is it okay to tresspass if you are after a record book buck? What if you think there is a record bluegill in someones pond, is it okay to go on thier land and pull a gill net through the pond? What the heck there is a world record at stake.....The big bass was snagged. The regs dictate that all snagged fish reguardless of size are to be released immediatly, not put on a stringer, not taken to a dock and not photographed.....Read the regs....those guys are lucky that didn't get a citation....Maybe one is on the way.....This is a country of laws....When hunters and anglers violate game laws they hurt all of us by giving ammo to the anti's.....

    Report: Rick everything you said highlights the worst part of our sport. In your way of thinking the end justifies every thing leading up to it. What if the fish had been speared? Gill netted?? Stunned with an M-80???
    The fish was snagged. The regulations state that a snagged fish is to be released "immediatly". When you get down to brass tacks the angler in question actually broke the law by putting the bass on a stringer, transporting it and dance around with it on the dock. Who would want to see the world record broken by a catch that was so obviously tainted???? From the sound of things it sounds like he was lucky not to get a citation.....
