      Report: Well have not been over for some time so i took a guy i meet from New York.We got there about 6:30 and as alway's this time of year it was a little on the windy side.So we ran to the back of Dinosaur point he picked one up right away on a Spook look alike,a little over four pound's.Then the wind let up and we ran out and fished the flat's.Lot's of fish mostly on jerkbait's but did ok on Zoom Super Fluke's also.Small fish between 2.5 and 4 lbs.He had a few hit's and follow's on a Senko but no hookup's.Oh yea i did hook him as he was trying to get a fish for me on my Bogagrip made me feel kinda bad.

      Tips: Get over there before long it will be to hot.They have started dropping the lake and that is the clue to start fishing the reaction bite over there.Good luck

      Report: Got to lake at 11:00am to fish the afternoon.Was a little windy when i got there.Started out at dino point fished jerbait and rat-l-trap for about an hour not one bite.Then ran down to fish the flat's below the windmill's and got 8 hit's and landed five.Largest 26"about four pound's.Was like watching wild kingdom,I was just working the bank's i noticed at the next cove a big black animal right at the water.So i got about three feet from the bank and snuck over to check it out.I was able to sneak up to about 25 yard's becouse the bank was hideing me.It was about a three hundred pound boar.I watched him and boy he stuck that nose in the air and about three sniff's and man up the hill he went.Then the next cove was the herd of those Tule elk and about 5 coyote's pretty cool.Fishing was slow but i stayed entertained by wildlife.
      City: SALINAS

      Tips: Well i think the reaction bite is about to dye off.Switch to jumbo live minnow's winter seem's to be the best for this.

      Report: This report is for O'Neill fore bay. The fishing has been consistant with 30+ fish days when the wind will permit. Most fish in the 18-24" range with an occasional better fish in the 7-10lb class. All on the flats with topwater plugs and a few on the weed edges with traps or hair jigs. They will also eat a fluke as a follow up bait to a missed topwater plug.
      City: San Jose

      Tips: poppers,spitting image and super spooke jr is what we have been throwing...Please handle them with care as this is not a self sustaining fishery.
