    Report: Reports: Did good on lukes. The Chabot bite is on. Most ish are clones, 1.5# bucks. saw some small ry, but not enoughto indicate the whole spawn is over. Saw some BIG bass. Best was a 4# by the burner. released at least 12 ish. neato.
    City: Belmont

    Tips: small motoroil or camo worms, or golden shiner lukes, splitshot. Fish are 4 - 8' deep. Warning: rom pastexperience, the chabot bite lasts only a month or so. Don't go i it's windy. Too hard to control the boat with the wimpyelectric.

    Report: I agree with the last report. This lake sucks for bass. The boys that work there don't know anything about fishing and aren't helpful. The boats suck and run out of battery life by the time you travel to the good spots. Stick to Del Valle, Delta, Etc.
