      Report: trying to catch a big bass on a swimbait but been having no luck. not too familar with swimbaits. however, if you like crappie, this place is loaded with them along the shore. i caught a ton of crappie on little mini jigs along the weeds.

      Report: Bass- I think your asking BassFan the question, but I will throw in my 2 cents. I use a 8 ft heavy duty rod with a strong tip and a 6.5 gear ratio real with 8 bearings. Your right, it will wear on you and your arm cranking all day if your not setup correctly. My setup works great for me and I throw 7-9 inch swim baits that run 5-6 feet and have had good success on several local lakes.
      Hope this helps!

      Report: What kind of rod do you use when you throw swimbaits? I was using a 6 inch swimbait with a pretty thick baitcast rod with 60 pound braid and it seemed like my rod wasn't gonna hold up. THose swimbaits are heavy.

      Report: Splitshot McFly,
      You can fish Coyote by boat or inflatable until sunset, and from the shore all night. Big bass are caught from the dam at night in the fall. Good luck.

      Tips: Coyote bait and Tackle employees recommended pig'n'jigs, black rat-L-traps, and senkos for night fishing at Coyote.

      Report: Fishing was tough to say the least. I caught one ish and Pistol didn't get anything. Started ishing at 8 and ended at 4. Caught a 2lber on a iretiger speed trap on the south end in 4 t o water about 1:30. Marked a lot o ish on the north end at 40t and south end at 25. Threw carolina rigs, jigging spoons, drop shot and DD22's at them but nothing. Flipped jigs and worms to looded trees on the south end but couldn't get a bite. Pete tried senkos with no luck. Water is up and there is a lot o new brush in the water which will be good later this year. Good luck.

      Report: I got my boat in the water on riday to test out downriggers mounted to a bord attached to my ski boat.Warning!!The lake is just too shallow or downrigers. We trolled the lake between the dam and and the ski zone. the ish inder said the ish were at 40 t.using pink ladys and shallow minnow lures we ound we cought 5 trout in two days. The ish are there. but it seems they hit on small lures that look like little ish. anyway it was a nice overnighter and got to play with the boat camp and ish and thats what counts.
      City: Santa Clara

      Tips: Troll on top with lures that dive to about 5 to 10 t. minnow and trout look-a-likes work well.

      Report: Got there about 7:30 AM. Fished until 1 PM. Went all the way to the end o the dam and all the way down the path. There were 3 in my group, all using night crawlers. I caught 2 Black Bass. A 14" 2 LBS spawning emale and a smaller one. No keepers. No one else got anything. Harrased by at least 3 Park Rangers...watch out. Heard they were catching big ones on the other side o the lake in the shallows. I never went. maybe next time.
