      Report: Look it up on the internet. The Quagga can be spread by birds that migrate. I guess it's the boaters fault!

      Tips: Fish in a different county. Pretty soon Piru and Cachuma will be closed and San Luis county is having a meeting next month to talk about closing their lakes also.

      Report: Decided to test out the Island pond today with my tube. I actually did way better than what I expected. Got 6 fish total with the biggest close to 4lb. All I did was blind casting the drop shot, pitch in the kreature, and roll the blades. Water is still cold but I found fish in shallow and deep water. I guess in another two weeks fish would start move up more. Plan to go out to Arroyo this sunday and I will put up some report.
      City: Fremont

      Tips: Please keep this lake updated, and please catch and release. If you see a asian guy with the green caddis tube, that's ME. Hope see u all in the water.

  • Solano County
    • By

      Water Temp: 51-54

      Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

      Report: Been a while since I reported. Took a break due to all the non-fishing stuff that was going on on this site. Good to see it looks like it's been cleaned up some. Anyway, had been chompin at the bit to get on the delta all week and wouldn't you know, Sat the north wind was howling. Still, caught around 15 fish to just under 6 pounds. Good early and late bite. Custom AC plug produced my two biggest fish. Caught a good number of jig fish as well. My buddy and I also dumped to fish over five. Much of the delta was still really dirty. However, I did find an area where it was calm and had two ft vis. That is where I got the fish on the wake bait. They demolished it on the hit. Flats with deep water nearby were best. The Voodoo bite should be turning on real soon as well. Love that bait on the flats first thing in the morning. Jig fish in the tules wanted it swam when the wind was blowing on them and shook where it was come. I was fishing a prototype jig in black/blue. Awesome jig!

      Tips: Feeding flats at high tide with deep water nearby. Sparse tules were good as well. The calm water produced the same amount of fish as the wind blown water. All fish in 1 to 4 ft.

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: It was nice to run the Custom Valco Bass Boat "BASSBUSTER1" today. The weather was really nice too. Strated cranking the north wall about 500 yrds form the mouth of the 14 Mile slough. Deep cranking was the ticket here. Then moved into 14 mile and checked out some spots along the shallows. Spinnerbait bites were aggressive. My goal was to work the water all the way to LVW Marina, but ran out of time. I pretty much had the water to my self. I was surprised note bites on jigs or plastics for me. It was a reaction bite today. 3.5,2.9,2.8,1.7, and 1.5 Rats no Kicker today :-(
