    Water Temp: unknown

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: My girlriend and took our kayaks out rom 5-7 pm today and I landed a 3.5# largemouth on a rapala husky jerk. It's always un to catch a big ish rom the kayak!!!!
    City: San Mateo

    Tips: I just started ishing this lake so I'm just iguring it out. Typical bay area bass lake though, lots o casts with a good number o lure changes to get the color right. It's a relatively clear lake so you want to use natural looking lures. I spotted the remains o a crawdad on the shore so that's why I went with crawdad color today. Good luck!!

    Report: I caught one ish early in the day around 5 lbs on a solid black jig in the looded trees in the back o the lake. Because o ree ishing day, the water was very crowded with trout ishermen. I didn't catch any more untill about 7 PM near the boat ramp, and it was barely a pound.
    City: Cupertino

    Tips: Water is high and clear, about 8 eet visibility. All the ish I've been catching are in about 10-12 eet o water and are hitting plastic worms and jigs. Not much o a reaction bite to speak o.

    Report: Pretty incredible day (or ME, at least!) at Stevens Creek. Most ishI've ever caught out there in one day -- one 5.1, one 4.9, one 3.4, & 8 or 10more between 1.5-to-2.3 lbs. (per my Berkley scale)! All were caught on a5/16-oz. pig-&-jig, black #11 pork, on a black jig with a ew chartreusestrands. Fishing rom my 8-t. Outcast kickboat, I caught 'em tight into heavycover, some o bare banks, & some under loating debris. The big ones werecaught in the back end o the lake, but even ater moving out about halway tothe picnic grounds, I was able to yank out a ew 2 lb'ers o both sides o thesparsely-covered banks. Nothin' but the jig seemed to work, so I pretty muchstayed with it all along. Met up with Nicolo, who, ater ollowing me back tothe back end, hauled out a 5'er o his own! Anyways, they're out there, but Iknow this can be a tough lake to ish. Wanted to let you know, though, thatthey CAN be caught, i you time it right with the water l!evel, weather, wind conditions, etc. (Water's up into the trees in the back, bythe way). Tight Lines!

    Report: WFO trout bite. Not gonna tell anyone the real spot but there catching em all over. Use trout designed lures and cast your ass off, you'll get em but it might take all day like it did for me.

    Report: My Advice...try lures that look like little bass...i saw a bunch o minnows that looked like bass and i all those bass minnows grow to be big bass then there should be a lot o bass in there, but there isnt, so the bass are probably eating their own kind...try it and tell me how it works..i havent tryed it mysel...

    Tips: crankbaits would be good...as long as they're like 1-2inches long and look like bass...

    Report: I started out this morning at 8:30, launching my kickboat rom the boat launch. I trolled around the lake or trout or an hour or so and then went towards the back end o the lake seeking bass. I only managed one bass, 5.2 lbs, on a 8" rainbow trout Yodo ished around poison oak. Ater ishing or bass or another two hours without a another hit, I went back to trout trolling. The water was a little more stained towards the back end, getting clearer at the dam, with at least 8' visibility.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: The bass appeared to be spawned out. I you can get out there on a sunny day, try jigs or lukes up shallow.
