    Report: Went out with a buddy to Anderson. First time in almost two years. Ramp situation stinks especially with so many people that don't prep their boat beore launching, or don't know how to launch quickly. Very rustrating. Fishing was pretty good considering the water level is extremely low. Around thirty eet below where is usually is. Caught all o our ish on plastics. All ish were small, up to about 2lbs. We had 14 ish.

    Report: Scott,You still can't launch at Anderson. They are still re-building the launch ramp. I would guess that's why there hasn't been much action on these postings or Anderson. I'm sure you could get on the ish in a loatube. Not much pressure on the ish or almost a year.

    Report: My son and I were able to get out on the lake or the irst time in awhile. Since the weather was so much cooler than it had been the last ew days, it seemed like a good day to go and it was. No big ish, but plenty o them. We managed 15 ish in 3 hours and had a good time. All came on Crankbaits on main lake points. Good luck and tight lines....

    Report: One o my better days on Anderson. Got a late start - in the water at 1130 and out at 1530 (orced o by wind). Caught 20 ish to 2.5 lbs, all on texas-rig 6" worm (brown/ghost with red lake). All ish were caught in 5-15' pretty much o any point. Bigger ish were on rocky points in the main lake. Lake is down and continuing to drop in prep. or the boat ramp repairs in Sept. I was surprised by the amount o ski boat traic or a Monday - summer must be getting close.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: Drop a 6 in. worm in 5-15' o water pretty much o any point. I suspect anything with red lake will work. Get it deep - the ish are hugging the bottom.

    Report: Fished AM for a couple of hours Sat and Sun. Very slow bite. Picked up a total of 13 fish all spots except 2 smallies. Drop shot robo in morning dawn, a couple on PopR topwater and shallow crank bait were the only producers. Thought there would be a big AM topwater bite and almost nothing. Had one HUGE blow up on a frog in weeds 2 ft deep. Swung and missed. Nothing on Crig plastics. Fish were shallow on points.
    City: Foster City

    Tips: Fish shallow on points and any shallow water with weeds. Try crank bait drop shot robo worms. Forget top water even though it looks perfect for throwing one.

    Report: Caught 8 bass fishing PM on Sat. Fish were caught on crank bait, drop shot, and one on top water. Fish were suspended in the water column in 15-30ft of water. Tried carolina rig and worm without a bite. Drop shot fish hit on the fall. Suspended fish are always a challenge for me.
    City: Foster City

    Tips: Use your electronics to figure out where in the wate column the fish are. Use the lure you have the most confidence in to target fish at that depth.
