      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.

      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.

      Report: If you want to catch some fish either try a brown and orange jig or split shot a 4-1/2" finese worm in natural colors. Or just throw a big swimbait all day for one big bite.

      Report: Please post fishing reports. Nobody wants to read your idiotic comments. You obviously have no skill for angling and your comments are better left not communicated. This goes for all who decided to join the conversation.

      Tips: Join a message forum not a report posting site.

      Report: If you plan on doing some trout fishin in the Tahoe area, forget lake tahoe itself. Try fishing some of the surrounding lakes, like Prosser, Stampede, or Boca. Trout fishing on Lake Tahoe is a slow bet to say the least. Also, try the truckee river downstream from truckee. If you want to hunt for some trophies, hit Pyramid lake in Nevada for the illusive Lahontan Cutthroat. Get there before the sun comes up, and throw plugs and larger spinners in the shallows. Pyramid lake is fed by the truckee river, and is home to some monster trout. Good Luck

      Report: SPRob, I am posting anonymously because this ain't about me or any personal confrontation with you. This is about the fact that you don't appear to have a guide license (if you do feel free to post your license number here), and the fact that it is against EBMUD regulation to use San Pablo for commercial purposes without a permit (I know you don't have one, I checked). If and when you do get legal I won't have another word to say.

      Report: Hey SPRob, are you really licensed? Cause I think you made a mistake when you said you were "licensed and bonded by CA DFG." because DFG doesn't issue bonds. You have to get bonded by a bonding agent. And if you don't know that then there's no way you have a license without proof of bonding. If you really are licensed why don't you post your license number here? Also you for sure (I checked) don't have the required permit to guide on San Pablo.

      Tips: Watch out for the shucksters everyone!
