    Report: not too many people fish this place around this time of year because they close the park at like 7 or 8 and its not worth going there when you have to pay a fee to park, a fee to fish the lake, and then only have like an hour or so to fish because you get off work at like 5 and fight the traffic, and have to be out of the park in an hour or 2. plus the fishing isnt too great here unless you really know what you're doing. I fished here a few times this summer and didn't do great. I caught a few small largemouth on live worms and plastic worms. And I caught about 10 catfish between 3 to 7 pounds on anchovies and chicken liver.

    Report: This last spring my buddy and I were ishing right as the park was about to close. ON a bed was a monster. My buddy stuck her on a monster tube. Landed it and weighed it on my scale at 15.2 lbs. No joke. Ran to the ranger to tell him about the new lake record and he made us let it go and wrote us a ticket or being in the park ater hrs. what an asshole!
    City: Laayette

    Tips: Many don't know about the monsters in this lake. I guarantee there is a world record in this lake. I have seen bass up to twenty at least. No joke

We then moved to Harrys cove but caught nothing. We let at 10:30. P.S What the hell was the guy whoposted beore me talking about? Live bait other than night crawlers are illegal at Laayette and most other bay area lakes.

    Report: Saw about 8 giant bass rom like 5-10lbs. These are beasts, put every lure right on their nose. Nothing. Does anybody know how to catch these ish. This is the 5th consecutive time at the lake i have seen a crusing ish exceeding 5lbs with no luck. Any help catching these monsters would be appreciated. Thanks.
    City: Walnut Creek

    Tips: The only thing I can think o is make long casts and make natural presentation even when you see the ish, but that isn't working or me. And polorized sunglasses or better viewing.
