    Water Temp: na

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Went out there around 8am. Hooked up my first bass aroun 8:30 dragging a tube bait. She went around 3lbs. After that nothing for about three hours. Started hooking in to them when I started to drag my bait around flats. The biggest was a 5lber. All in all it was a good day of fishing, better than working. I must have hooked into a school cruzing around the flats. Caught about 15 that day. Not every flat was productive. All of them was nice clones. All was averaging around 1 1/2 to 2 pounds.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: Dragging or carolina rigging would be your best bet. Take it slow, but some of my bites came right when my lure hit the water. keep searching their on the pre-spawn mode.

    Water Temp: 70-72

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Couldn't really put a pattern together on sat. Lost a couple just to the right o the boat launch on a drop-shot bass assasin shad right away. I couldn't buy a bite on anything plastic ater that, so I started to chuck and wind a rapala shad rap rs to the shoreline. Ended up boating 3 and losing 4 more. I guess i need to sharpen my hooks.
    City: gilroy

    Tips: Go or the reaction bite. I like the Rapala Shad Rap RS in shad. This is also a great bait or trolling. I have caught a lot o extra ish(bass and trout) just throwing it out behind the boat moving or one spot to another.

    Water Temp: 75

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Gave Uvas a shot or the irst time in a couple years. I caught a ew smaller ish on dark plastics in about ten eet o water. I got into a decent surace bite in the shallows around sunset, but they were smaller ish. I did have a huge blowup on a popper, but I guess that craty toad was just playing with me cuz he/she missed the lure by a oot. All in all slow, but it sure was peaceul without a bunch o boats ans ski's tearing up the water.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: Enjoy the quiet, slow down, look or windy points in atleast 9 eet o water with plastics. Work the surace stu real slow.

Note to live bait ishermen: You might consider pinching the barbs on your hooks so that you can release the ish easier and they'll have a beter chance o surviving. I saw a small dead bass loating near the boat launch.

    Report: My brother and I ished out o our kickboats. Got on the water at about 5:45am or so. Water was very low and the boat ramp was out o the water.Tried topwater early, one small ish rolled on a buzzbait but no hookup. I ished tube baits most o the day; Dave used skirted grubs. Picked up lots o dinks, only two or three keepers between us. Dave picked up at least one ish on a craw pattern crankbait. Biggest ish went 2.2#.

    Tips: I you want to catch lots o small ish, use tube baits - green pumpkin with black lake. Couldn't tell you how to catch a big one as I never igured out what they wanted.
