      Report: ARRIVED AT 6:30 AM FISHED UNTIL 10:20 AM ALONG THE SHORELINE TO THE LEFT OF THE BOAT DOCK THEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE BY THE SOUTH END OF THE LAKE. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY. TEMPERATURE WAS COOL EARLY BUT LOW 70'S AS I DEPARTED.STARTED OUT FISHING WITH MINNOWS ON THE BOTTOM IN 5-20 FT. OF WATER TO THE LEFT OF THE DOCK ALONG WEEDS AT THE SHORLINE. AFTER NO LUCK BAITFISHING DECIDED TO MOVE THE MINNOW SLOWLY ALONG THE BOTTOM. WHEN I GOT A SMALL BITE. I FELT THE BASS HIT WAITED A LITTLE BIT THEN SET THE HOOK. LANDED A EL CAPTAIN KEEPER 15" (2LBS) LARGEMOUTH THAT WAS TAGGED. SO I KEPT TRYING AND SWITCHED TO NIGHT CRAWLER RIGGED LIKED A PLASTIC WORM WITH A SMALL SPLITSHOT. JUST LET IT SINK AND SLOWLY REEL AND I LANDED TWO MORE BASS 13" TO 14". I TRIED AGAIN BETWEEN LARGE NIGHTCRAWLER AND MINNOW AND NO LUCK. SO I LEFT AND WENT TO SOUTH PART OF THE LAKE AND FOUND SOME DEEP WATER WITH SOME SHALLOW WATER WITH SOME WOOD STRUCTURE. USED THE NIGHT CRAWLER METHOD AND GOT A NICE EL CAP BLACK CRAPPIE. MISSED ONE FISH THERE TOO.

      Tips: SUNNY DAYS FISH HOLD A LITTLE DEEPER. USE SUBTLE BAITS ON THOSE DAYS. OVERCAST DAY HERE MUST BE ABSOLUTE OUTSTANDING WITH RIGHT WATER TEMPS. BETTER DAYS AHEAD. THIS WAS A GOOD DAY FOR ME, AS I DID SEE SOME BEING CAUGHT IN THE AREA. FISH WERE IN THE 5-20 FT. OF WATER. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

      Report: Once again San Diego City Lakes has let the lake open ater dark. Arrived at El Capitan about 9:15 pm. Lake looked like Calville Bay the morning o the US Open. There must have been 150 - 175 boats on the lake (850 acre lake). Fishing was slow, caught only six ish rom the time that I got there to 5:15 am. All ish caught on purple or black duh jigs in 10 - 20 eet o water on secondary rock points. Only thing I can think o is that the unusual amount o boat traic and ishing pressure had the ish completely turned o. Well I'll get them next time!

      Report: The ishing has really improved since I was here last (3 years ago). I ound both Largemouth and Smallmouth bass spawning but rerained rom disturbing them on the nests as I want this body o water to keep improving. I did ind plenty o others though and when it wasn't windy it was great. The water is so clear and the water was up. I inally got tuned into Senkos. I have bought plenty o them, but seeing their action and the bass take them in the clear water really helped. I also caught bass on my old standby Pro Worm 34S. I also caught a 21" catish in the lazy pm.
      City: Fresno

      Tips: Senkos, Brown and red worms, all with red or red lake.

      Report: Fishing or trout was a little slow, with most rainbows taken on Lemon lime powerbait along the west bank. Water level is med-high right now, but west bank is accessable by oot. Limited out by 11Am (started at 6). Bass ishing was a no-go - most likely a little early in the season. Nice size trout catch though. Stick to the trout or now, as bass should become active by Mid March.

      Report: Fishing wasnt that good. Most of the bass boats joined the crappie fleet around the north fork marina. So I figure they wernt doing to good with the bass. All the boats were catching crappie but no exstream amount. The bank was lined with fisherman so they had to catch something. Rocky point looked like a circus.

      Tips: If your bass fishing wait till the nights get a little warmer.
