    Water Temp: 61-64

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: The bite is slow right now but you can catch fish if you slow down and use the right bait. Caught 12 on tuesday and 11 on thursday. Majority of the fish were caught on 3.5 inch green pumpkin tubes on 1/8th ounce wieght between 0-15 feet. Caught a few on flukes but couldn't get bit on topwater or cranks. Fish rocky ares with weeds and you should be able to get a few. Bite gets better in the afternoon as the water warms the wind pick up a little. Good Luck

    Report: Kinda tough on Saturday. Caught ten on black jigs. All 12 inchers except a 2 & 3 pounder. Spoke to other bassers and they were working pretty hard for them, too.
    City: san jose

    Tips: Jigs and drop-shot. Try deep water. I stayed within 3-12 feet of water. Will work deeper water next week and let y'all know how it does.

    Report: I forgot to address the Anderson question. Well, for me it's been really tough gettin' the big fish to bite. Just gettin' the usual 100 dinks a day!!! I did finally find a good point that produced close to a limit with 3 pounds average except some good ones came un-buttoned. The drop-shot WAS NOT the producer of this event.

    Report: I kinda like Zacks reports people. I don't want to start anything bad, but I'm just being honest. Zack, gotta admit that you're kinda off-the-wall but that's o.k. by me 'cause at least you're posting. I wouldn't totally agree with you that the drop-shot method doesn't work because I have had success on it at Calero and other local lakes ; however, I wouldn't consider it my bread and butter technique. I've beat many friends and fellow anglers who swear by this method. I think the drop-shot craze is over-rated. I personally do best on the reaction baits and old-school plastic methods.

    Report: Zack has been posting nonsense for a long time on these south bay lakes. I am going to chalk it up to the point that something must be severly wrong with him. He has yet to make any sense at all. How's Anderson? Zack asks...Go look on the message board, but please do not post anything you will only make people mad. Zack is there anything that we can do to make you stop posting? Please stop.
    City: Morgan Hill

    Tips: Pretend like you never saw his post and just move on... I know it's hard, just move on.
