      Report: To all concerned. The park district is selling our Bass!!!!Over the past 3 weeks biologists have been shocking Chabots bass and taking them to Quarry Lakes to be caught and EATEN.Total losses approx 30 3-5 lb bass taken out o our Supposed over loaded with bass lake. Any o you who ish Lake Chabot know i you catch 2 ish let alone get 2 bites know they are soo ull o shit. In the next week or 2 there will be a petition sent around or us ew bass ishermen to sign to stop this nonsense. Our park district is a sellout.Its all about Quarry lake now because there are not enough ish in Chabot to attract MONEY. Its all about MONEY. We have to do something about this ASAP or Chabot will DIE and become just like the skateboard park downtown

      Report: Worked hard yesterday on this giant hvac unit in the s.bay,So when i arrived home,thought hell,to late to take the boat out,so cruised over to the pits as i so call the quarries.It must o been about 2:30.Begun immediately at the launch ramp to the right o the no ishing sign and anned that hole area.brought in a nice smallie,didn't have my scale on me.I guess about 1#-1&3/4#s.ALWAYS CATCH AND RELEASE.Thats the second one i've pulled out o that area."great".Moved along the shore getting a couple casts here and there,but it was a little busy out there i could imagine.So i crossed the pathway over to rainbow and casted along the ence area and moving south rom there.HAMMERED down on beatiul 3+#er smallie,one the biggest i've ever caught out there,luckily she didn't eel the hook on the irst hookset,cause she elt it the second time.What a nice ish however.continued over to the beginning o the lake your not supposed ot ish and bladed a dink largemouth.i must o throuhg that blade in the same area 6 times beore he hit,in any case,those are a ew o the many,many ish i caught at the pits.there use to be much more BASS,but when they made slopes or people to ish o o they slaughtered hundreds.silt kills everything,especally when tons is stirred up.anyways i dont have the time to run to the delta or another lake,pits are an ok spot,
      City: Fremont

      Tips: depending where your starting to throw maybe a cast and retrieve bait,then i not go to sotplastics,i think now,something DARK colored,zoom junebug worm w/ribbon tale and yamamoto grubs do it or me.by the way i've never caught a 3#+smallmouth BASS at shadow clis.nor a 6#er. PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE SO WE ALL COULD HAVE FUN.

      Report: If you're willing to take the risk, and think you can be quiet.. Ninja fish this lake.. I use to come here back in the day and rent the cheap boats they had 4rent and fish until the battery died.. Lol never got skunked.. Was Really uPset when they closed this place!!! Did some ninja fishing and landed quality fish to 7.5lbs. Caught ten Fish total from 1130-330am.. Dropshot 4 fish 1 to 3lbs.. Jig 2 fish twins just over 4lbs. Each.... One dink on a lipless crankbait.. One two pounder on a senko I had just dragging behind my float tube!! Lol almost lost my pole!! Two on a 6inch hudd. A 3.5 and the 7.48..

      Tips: Stay quiet and don't talk too much if you're with someone. Alot of houses around and I believe someone lives on the lake. Good luck..

      Report: Got to the lake on Wed. around 11:30 and ished until 3:30. Picked up 7 ish rom 12"-16". The biggest one went 3.5#. Caught all on senkos in 3'-8' o water. Beautiul day one Wed. but windy as all hell on Fri. but still managed to pick up another 7 ish, biggest one going 2#. This time, picked up one on a husky jerk, the others all came on a pumpkin colored big ika. Saw the pix o the 18+ and 11+ caught on Thurs.----DAMN! Glad to see that they were both put back as were all 14 o mine. It's the spawn people, i it's a buck bass..keep a ew... a big 'ol emale, COME ON....throw them back and let them inish their jobs and let some one else have the un another day and hopeully they'll put her back too. All in all,this is an AWESOME body o water to ish or good quantity and quality. It's like the hidden honey hole that we all dream o inding. "Too bad Todd, wish you were here yankin' em in with me!"
      City: Salinas

      Tips: Fish are up shallow. Males on the nests with emales not too ar away. Drag senkos (or pretty much any Yamamoto plastic) along the bottom and wait or the ish to send you the message. Suggestion: everyone else ish Coyote, Arroyo Seco, or San Luis and leave me this spot to mysel, LOL :)
