I had a ew bites but, no one would take my trusty powerbait. It got about sunset so I tied on a white rooster tail. About 10 casts later and nice rainbow. That was it or the day. At least my San Pablo skunk is o or the year. Headed to Del Valle Thursday(see report). I just wish they let 2 strokes on the lake.

    Report: Thought we would try San Pablo since it just opened, have'nt been here or at least two years. Dave & I started out in a blinding blanket o dense og, ound our riends Tiger & Steve working the east shore. Dave was trhowing his "I it works don't change it" Senko, I was throwing a Spinner bait, Lucky Crat stick bait,Blk/Blue Jig & a senko,... nothing till 9:00 when Tiger scored a 4lb.'r on a jig, thought I had a chance. NOTHING! So inally dave says why don't you rig up your "go to, Joe Bovola!"a black lippy tail worm, I did & at 10:00 I got a hit, What! a 5.5lb Trout?! It's a ish and o the '03 Skunk! 11:00 a 4.8lb Large mouth, then a 3.9lb oh yeah our boats winning! But wait there's alot o splashing, running around ollowed by some serious Hooting & Hollering coming rom tiger & Steve's boat, "Get over here!" BANG Steve hooked up with a 11.4 lb PIG!! OK so now our boats losing... but that's OK it was cool to see that PIG. Dave & I stayed late, went back to the east shore ound a sunken tree I got a 1.5lb, a dave pulled in a 2.2.lb just under the time limit and save himsel rom getting skunked.

    Report: Figured I would give old Pablo a try. I just moved back to the Bay Area. I have had great luck at this lake. I have posts dating back on this BB. So I was excited and it was opening weekend. I igured a ew months with no action and the ish would be hungry. I ished rom 9:00 until about 4:30. Talk about a great day o ishing!!! I didn't get a bite all day. I went with a buddy and he had nothing as well. Saw 3 trout caught and heard the ishing was poor by all that I spoke with. I will be back. The water was really bad. Maybe a oot o visibilty. I used Powerbait, Nightcrawlers, and everything in my Bass bag.

    Report: Got here at about 6 am. We had to wait with our car until the person who opens the gate came. When we got here tried to catch some bass with a local avorite minnow jig. Unsucessul. We saw some anglers catsh some trout on power bait so we decided to switch. Caught about 4 trout the whole day. All rom about 1 - 2lbs. At about 5 pm, we were about to leave I was also unsucessul trying to catch crappie, but my dad tried the minnow jig one more time. Within a ew minutes he landed a 3 1/2lb largemouth. We came the very next day and tried again and we both caught largemouth 3-4 lbs.

    Report: Got here at Noon and was suprised at all tha anglers on the shore!! There were some trout isherman but most o them were carp isherman and the thing was that I knew most o them!! They all were my relatives one wa or another and came or a HUGE barbaque and all ished or carp with cornmeal. They got a couple good sized carp bit they said that they only bite in the morning and stopped biting at around 11am. I threw out my minnow jig or most o the day......no luck. Switched to my trusty Rat-L-Trap and caught one small 6 in bass. Tried my other cranks, no luck. Then used my minnow jisg some more, nothin. Stayed until the park closed trying to pick up a bass. One o the worst ishing days ever and also one o the most annoying days ever(im dont like my relatives and them being there made it that much more annoying).
