    Report: Fished hard or 8 hours using everything. Managed only one largemouth (3lbs.) on a green senko. My hat is o to Ryan and the other bass isherman who call Chabot their home lake or being able to have the success they do. I have ished 9 dierent bodies o water in CA and ind Chabot to be the most diicult.
    City: Seaside, CA

    Tips: Try ishing deeper, ater 4 trips and only 2 small ish, there doesn't seem to be much action in shallow water.

    Water Temp: ?? still cool-c

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Fished with "silver ox" all day rom 7am - 430 pm he lit one up 3rd cast but it was a small one. 2 hrs later i casted a spinnerbait o all things and a 3# hit it as soon as is hit the water inront o the tules. then we ished all o the eastern shore with no hits even. lots o trout loppin pissed us o but we were determined to get more bass. hrs later silver ox hooked a good 2-3 #'er and had another ollowing it too the boat. i through in but couldnt get the other to bite and didnt want to tangle lines. ew more hours went by we moved closeer to the marina and no hits. wind made it tough to control boat at times and sun was hot so we decided to call it. all in all a typical chabot ishing trip nothing special except passing the time with a great riend and isherman "silver ox"- thanks
