    Report: When Quarry irst openend I was able to catch 5 bass on an average day with some o those being smallmouth. Now I don't even bother ishing it anymore since most o the trout anglers are accidently catching the bass on nightcrawlers and keeping them. The last several times I have went resulted in a total o 2 really small smallmouth bass. They're putting in all these christmas trees which won't do anything to the lake i people keep the bass, sounds like a waste o time to me. I'd rather they put all the trees into Chabot, a beautiul place to ish with many anglers practicing catch and release(I catch many bass with hook sores). I you like to ish at a lake with no scenery, no bass, and shoulder to shoulder trout ishing, then Quarry is your place. But or you bass isherman, I suggest to never waist your time and money at Quarry and ish the other Bay Area Lakes such as Pablo, Chabot, shadow clis back ponds and Del Valle.

    Report: Well, a cold crisp morning on the ol quarries today. Got on the water at about 8 a.m. and proceeded to toss a drop-shot o the rock piles at about 20t with no takers. It was cloudy and looked like rain, so i went to a gold silver buddy and popped that at about 25 - 30 t with nothin'. I busted out with the carolina rig ( Big leader 4 t ) 4 1/2 inese worm and yet again nothin'. I think i might've missed the bite by a ew hours or so just beore the ront moved in. The clouds came kinda quick and the barometric pressure was droppin'. I split at about 12:30 without a bite and deeated. Next time........

    Report: BBAC and mysel went down to quarry today to check out how we were going to dump trees and what depths. We walked approx 3000 eet o the two lakes we are to dump trees in. It looks like this will be workable providing we get the manpower we need to do the job. Also i any o you volunteers could bring 2 or 3 mason blocks or 2 or 3, 1 gallon buckets illed with concrete that will help in the sinking o the trees. Anyone that has ties to scouts in other areas is urged to contact them or support. Thank you Donald C. Osborne
