      Report: good idea, I will let the warden know about the incident. it is not the first time they have basically cut me off. sorry for the profanity in the last post, I was just obviously very mad. fishing has been incredible at the lake lately by the way. tons of fresh stocked trout. and water clarity is much better.

      Report: Here is the website for the lake, "http://www.ci.santa-cruz.ca.us/wt/llra/llra.html."

      I haven't fished here for awhile but I use to go their and catch a bluegill every cast. The bass fishing was pretty darn good too. I use to rent a boat every time I went, so im pretty sure you can still use a boat on the lake.

      Report: Got to the lake just after 6am. I expected to see nice high water and was hoping to chase the bass up on the flats. Instead I saw a very low lake down atleast 30%. turns out that they are working on the dam. The water was muddy and the wind was blowing. Found some water protected by the wind and picked up a 5lber in about 2 feet of water right at the base of a tree. got another one same size later in the day, same scenario. They both took a baby bass senco. Only bass al day. caught a couple little stripers and a trout on rattle traps. Over all was a good day on the water.
      City: MArtinez

      Tips: Fish this lake during the week. 1/2 price electric boat renatals and light pressure. We saw asome bug stripers bustin on some trout, but couldnt get there in time. Big swimbaits and patience could = some great fishing stories.

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Wanted to avoid the holiday water traic on the Delta so I opted to ish smaller waters with the tin boat instead. This was my irst time ishing at Mather ater reading a ew recommendations that this might be a decent place to nail a ew bass while visiting riends in Sac.Got there just beore noon, with no real expectations. It was basically an exploratory trip just to see what's there. The path rom the parking lot to the lake has a locked cable strung across it so it was a bit o a chore lugging the Valco, 'lectric motor, battery and tackle in separate trips--good thing I had my ish'n partner Stephanie with me. Boats with 'lectric motors are allowed. Ater a short while assembling our gear we shove o. There's an abundance o weed growth and mats...I'd say Mather is more overgrown than Rancho Seco. Looks like it'd be great rog water. We headed out to the eastern end o the little lake as that's where most o the tule stands are. Steph started out with a 4" Zipper (in Green Weenie) while I worked a white rog. Had nothing going on with the rog but the zipper was getting bit in the tule and cheese pockets. Switched to Brushogs and still couldn't get them to commit. The ticket was 5" Senkos ished the usual way--weightless, Texposed. We stuck 4 largies working the tules, the biggest one only going 14 inches. They were all chunky, even the undersized ones. Then wind kicked in making it extremely diicult to ish Senkos, not to mention controlling the boat.Ater checking out the rest o the lake we called it a day, mostly due to the wind. I it weren't so windy it would've been nice to stay or the evening bite. It was a un but short aternoon and i I were to return I'd be more prepared with a dolly to wheel das boot to the shoreline.

      Tips: Pitch #208 Senkos into the tules and cheese pockets.
