    Report: Fished Saturday aternoon rom tube, caught several small ish along tules at the island. Pretty damn windy. Caught a couple more in cove between island and launch ramp. North*Cal*Tom, was that you in there wading? Biggest were a couple in the 1.5-2 range.Came back next morning, ished with a riend rom shore. Windier than previous day. Tried several areas rom 2nd parking lot (next to island) to swim area, to ar cove. Me and my partner picked up one each just past swim lagoon (around 1.5-2lbs). Continued towards cove with no hits along the way, surprisingly. Was about to call it quits, then tap-tap. Turns out to be my biggest Contra Loma bass, 5.5#. Female w/eggs, apparently there are still ish that haven't spawned here.

    Report: Fished 3 till closing time, 4 ish.2 1.5lb ish on a blue back rip bait.1 2.0 ish on a senko1 2.5 on a presueader quad jointed blade buzzer Slow rolling the buzzer got the one and the swirls. Pop n pause the rip got the two and the senko ish hit on the way down, watermellon and green senko got em, Loaned a black and blue senko to some guys that hadnt ished or bass they tossed it out and got one irst swing, how ever they kept it ater I asked them not to. I sorta regret giving them that senko, it was nothing great o a ish and had a large wound on its side probably rom a runin with a striper.

    Report: you guys said it. tule ishing was starting to get good here. i was starting to ind a really good reaction bite, but now all my avorite spots are high and dry. i don't know what they're trying to do here.as or my report, i almost got skunked. i never have here, but it was close. i was kicking my tube around and decied to troll a crappie tube jig. i caught a crappie right o the bat, but that was the only one. i got bit at a tule edge in about a oot o water on a plastic, but lost it on a jump. looked about 4 lbs. saw thousands o shad (shad spawn) so i tossed my crappie jig in the area. got a dink bass.i was pretty bothered by the low water and slow ishing in general, so i bailed early.

    Report: Being that the lake is so small it warms easyer most o the bass have spawned and have hatched out thier young i saw many bed ish siting guarding thier ry, I dont think it hurt them too bad what it did hurt was the Shad they just got done spawning last week, and in march/april they did the same thing to the crappie. I dont know why they keep doing this they have the Manucipal resiv right next to the gol course that has no ishing allowed in it even though i see some good ish jump when I drive by, why dont they lower the one that ishermen and other people dont get any use out o is my question, I was told they think that lowering it and raising it promotes good ishing caus it keeps oxygen levels up, but then why do they have the airiator pumping air into the lake over by the dam? In my opinion keeping the water up tullies and weed beds alive promotes good ishing.And adding structure like wood and allen trees promotes good ishing because Cover is a Key part to having the ish survive in any body o water,

Fishing ast and eratic, Tales o 8+lb trout being taken loating about the lake today. Use heavy line when the bass hit the rip bait they hit hard and ast.
