    Report: This lake is so drained, that it isnt even unny. I you want to make a map o the lake this the time to do so. Fished about three hours till sunset, nothing happening. Dont think i'll ever ish her again, until they plant trout.
    City: san jose

    Tips: dont go here, this place sucks. The county manages the lake and they sure dont care about the ishes or the anglers.

    Report: Creek side o lake never lets me down. Found a nice hump in 15' o water with wood on the creek where it was making a bend. Oh mama, good spot!!! Nothing under 3#'s and I managed to get 6 ish o that one perect piece o structure. Stayed on top o the creek looking or wood or humps. Fish all over but seemed to be moving around staying close to the creek. Caught a total o 16 ish up to 4#'s. Missed a ew, more than I would like to admit, including some heavy, thought they were snags, ish. Those big ish can ool ya. They don't hit like smaller bass. They just pick it up eel ya pull and spit it out beore you can put it to them. I have a hard time ishing rom my tub sometimes, this was my irst time out with it this year and I was a bit rusty at eeling the ish. What a nice way to spend the day.

    Report: Alright Chris, your going to Lexington on Monday! See ya out there! Why dont we meet at the launch ramp(no charge or tubes) and I can tow us with my 40 pound Minn Kota! We can troll all the way along Highway 17 and work the island by the dam, were I can show you my 'Glory' holes and Texas wormin tricks o deep points! Then we'll go to your creek to catch that 9 pounder you were talkin' about (trout imitations!) Give me a time to me at the ramp ASAP and were on!
    City: Los Gatos

    Tips: Go to your local tackle shop and pick a pack o watermelon seed andor green pumpkin worms, my avorite is the zoom speed worms and magic 7" hand pours. I am great success with these with 15-20 ish day averages, my buddy Joe caught a 7# by the island with a zoom 7" mag worm in green pumpkin.

    Water Temp: 74 degrees

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Lexington is one o my avorite lakes and I try to get out 3-4 days a week since it's a 5 minute drive rom my house. Although it is drained to much and to soon the ish keep on biting or me! The majority o ish are hanging around 25' o water and will all to just about any plastic worm or zipper under 7", a real good proven lure is a green pumpkin rench ry split-shot rigged, don't let anyone tell you that split-shot worms only catch small ish! I have caught over a dozen bass in the 18"-22" range this year on split-shot worms in green pumpkin, and believe me these are big ish or Lexington! Fish all along Highway 17 rom the launch ramp to the Search and Rescue helicpoter landing pad,(put a lot o eort in ishing to the right o Alma Bridge there is a "hole" were the ish hang out). Good Luck and hope to see out there! (I am the guy with the decked out green loat tube)

    Tips: Don't let the draining o this lake discourage you, take advantage o it. It opens new landscape to your ishing pattern, look or creek channels, cli drop o's and islands.

    Report: Thought I'd leave a post on this little lake seeing as nobody else will. They are still eating. They like jigs. Windy banks with shade best. Stay close to deep water. Throw 1/4oz-3/8oz brown or black. Rattles seemed to help. Slow movement without popping the bait o the bottom seemed to be the best retrieve. Fish up to 5#'s going in the evening. I have just been ishing the bank and am catching more than the tubers. Although I think its time to put the tube in and ish the creek!

    Report: Got on the water at 1pm. My riend caught a trout on aplastic worm around 3pm. Not much action rom the bass probably because it was hot and probably because this was our irst time ishing this reservoir. We were throwing everything. Had some hits around looded trees on plastics,but lost them all. We were o by 7pm, which was when we noticed a bunch o boils developing.

    Tips: Avoid hot weather and stick with plastics around loodedtrees.

    Report: Fished back side near the picknick grounds rom 6am-9am. Picked up three. Two around 3lbs each and one dink. The dink hit a brush baby crank bait(Shad). One o the other two on a baby bass spinner bait and the other on a pumpkin/chartruese Lizard split shot. All three were very agressive. The two larger ish were real at.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: Fish near the looded trees close to any deep water. Reaction baits and sot plastics seem to be the ticket right now.
