    Report: This was a late report or Lexington. Fished at Lexington last Saturdaywith a new riend, "Ferdie". I met him at Arastradero lake and he is a verynice gentleman. We started ishing around 8:30AM at the southend. Water there was quite shallow and the action was slow, hookinga only ew "baby" bass. So we decided to move toward some deeperwater. About 10AM, I was able to locate a sudden drop using one o mycrankbaits. Right there, I hooked the irst decent ish. It went 12inch. The second cast at the exact same spot gave me a 16 incher. Ithought there might be a school. Too bad, we got only one dink more.Ater spending about hal an hour there, we moved urther north. Ferdie wasable to get a ew more ish on crankbait and Carolina rigged worm. Butthe ish were quite small. The biggest one might be a pound. At onepoint, Ferdie elt many nibbles on his crankbait but he couldn't get goodhook-set. He thought they might be small ish. So we let that spot.Hal way to another point, I decided to throw a ew more castback to that point. On my second cast, something big was eating myCarolina rigged worm. I elt very heavy pressure on the hookset and it was ableto pull the line out on a tight drag setting. "Fish on" and Ferdie wasrunning back to see this action. Ater a good ight, I was able to lipher. She was 20 inch long and weighted 4 pound. Too bad I didn't carrya standard scale to get the correct weight. Another "should have done" lesson:-( Ater a ew pictures,we released her. (I I have time, I will post the picture in the photosection.) We ished together until noon and I needed to call it a daybecause my girlriend was waiting to have lunch with me. Ferdiedecided to stay longer. Overall, un ishing. Oh, I orgot tomention that it was the irst time or Ferdie to ish at Lexington and he did very well. Catch&Release

    Report: Hello boys, have a good nights rest? I missed you. Where have all my wannabee's gone? Did school start again? Oh well someone's gotta do it since the dumbass county o Santa Clara can't igure out how to drain this place ast enough. Every ish I pull out and save rom certain death will go to a better lie in Old Reavis's armpond.

    Tips: S.O.S. Senco's and 17lb test. And here's a new one. You know the rumor about how there aren't any beaver's in Lexington? Well there aint any Piranha either. Tite lines brothers.

    Water Temp: warm

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Decided to take the tube out and loat it Saturday morning. On the water around 8am. Me & a bud launched rom the second parking lot. Water level way down, made or an interesting entry or me. Anyhow, we both landed 3 ish each, none heavier than a pound. We each had 2 almost landed, but they got o just at grab, and a ew grabs but no hook sets. Had a "double-hookup" too, pretty much at teh same time! That was kool! Fish were out rom bank and maybe 15-20' deep. Wind came up around 11:30am I was using Berkly power worms (7" pumpkinseed) Partner had a jig on. Wish we landed all that we elt, but all in all it was a good loat. (we wern,t skunked!)

    Report: To those it may concern.I'm about as real as it gets.I've been chasin' ish since I could walk and I've got more rods and reels than ingers and toes, mostly Fenwick thank you.And as or what else I do, I probably built your house AND the piece o s@#*! building you work in, IF you have some type o gainul employment.
    City: Los Gatos

    Tips: To show my gratitude to my new socalled anclub, here are a couple o REAL tips. Fish the eastside o Lexington in the ugliest water you can ind. Remember, it doesn't matter what it looks like to you, only to what you are trying to catch! And here's another, the Campbell perc ponds are RED HOT right now and I don't mean or planter trout

    Report: Hey big harry,Are you or real or a ictitious character? Most anglers have to work or their ish. To imply that you can catch a lot o ish while drinking with your buds and playing with your dog (or was it the other way around?)seems a bit ar-etched to me. What else do you do? Walk on water? Raise the dead?

    Report: It was my irst time ishing Lexington and we got skunked. Got on the lake at 8:00 and let at 3:30. The wind blew all day. We threw spinnerbaits, crankbaits, ripbaits, buzzbaits, jigs, worms, rattletraps, swimbaits, senkos and not a ish. We used dropshot rigs and split shot rigs on the rocky points and coves. Flipped to the looded brush and weeds. Threw cranks deep and shallow around wood and rocks. Fished the north, south, east and west regions o the lake. It is a great looking lake but the ishing sucked or today. I anyone has some good tips or this lake email me, Thanks.
