      Report: Ek- The water senko dom is talking about is deep back inbetween the irst cove and second cove rom the boat ramp going south You cant get into it because on one side there is a wall o tulies and on the deeper second cove there is a huge mat o laydown tulies blocking the way, Those huge spiders however are just garden orb spiders non venimous (or so Im told) and reluctant to leave thier web or home set o twigs. Now or my report that is a ew days old, WED 24th Got out there at about 6pm started o throwin a spinner a sammy and a jig a whole lot o nothin got one small guy o some boulders by the ramp on a spinner he came unbuttoned hal way up and threw the hook on a jump missed one on a senko urther down that shoreline ished o the island usualy a producing spot or me nothin, ended out ishing the rest o my time by the channel PT dock started throwing a pointer hooked up with a nice 2-2.5lb ish one more on nothing ater that..Tom

      Report: I agree with out a doubt that loma,has a great top water bite.I grew up in Mira vista hills.The lake was in my backyard,and I always had very good trips on top.Last year I can rember taking out my loat as well,now I have a boat.But the weed line o the dam and basically the whole lake would lite it up on my snag proo rog.Pushing out great numbers o bass each trip.The dam with out a doubt casting to the rocks and jumping the rog into the water was a unreal type deal evey cast to every other cast would produce bass not small,AND MY FAMOUS STRIPES WILL BUST THE $#@! OUT OF TOPWATER.Keep ishing how ever we like but topwater has also been good to me here.FISH ON

      Report: Ok heres the scoop, Fished 12:00 till 9pm6 Bass all around 2lbs with a one dink exception, 2 on a White/white/black skirt and silver blades 2 on a blue backed rip bait 1 senko ish 1 dink on the spinner,And heres the Funny part. I cast out a Lucky Crat Pointer (aurora proneon color) Let it dive a bit then pause slow roll pause slow roll BAM big hit something hammers it and takes o I set the hook and it realy takes o, I begin to horse the ish up and it Really didnt eel much like a bass so I thought to my sel "trout" not too bad or dinner I get a lash o it beore it dives again and It didnt look like a trout the ight and shape o the ish kinda reminded me o a Pike so I thought OHH great some Smart guy dumped pike in here I get it up again and the thing rolls over then i realize its a good 3-4lb cat ish so I Finaly get the ugly sucker to shore i try to jiggle the hook out o his lips he starts to death roll again so I lip him and begin to walk to my bag to get my Foreceps to get the hook out. Hal way over he clamps down on my thumb and shakes I let go he gets some o my skin. At this point the sucker is dinner and im gunnaget my revenge on him, I grab the line and walk him over to where my bag is get the orecepts reach down to get the hook and he starts rolling again he some how gets the trebel out o his mouth lops a couple times as i try to get his tail and he slides o into the water, but that s ok I didnt eel like skining his tough hide any how. Who woulda thought a Cat on a Lucky crat,I had alot o un today Its hard to inda good consistant bite these days, Beore it was just rips or just senkos but now the ish are scattered just doing thier own thing,
      City: Pittsburg

      Tips: Use the regular "Go to baits" Green Pumpkin senkos White spinners and Blue back rip baits, and or the cat ish use the lucky crat, Im sure this will also getsome bass, that cat was just in the right place at the wrong time and almost became my dinner or biting me.

      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.
