Hi All,

Went out on the Tigerfish out of HMB.  Tigerfish was the Makaira out of Santa Cruz a long time ago.  Had a good day.  Flat calm like a lake and fished 5 to 6 miles out of the harbor.  Right in front of Martin's Beach.   We had 2 DFG people aboard.  The guy was in his 30 yrs old and a young college girl learning the ropes.

I released 3 undersized lings (lizards) and 4 canaries.  I had my limit pretty early.  There was one keeper ling.  12 anglers.  Limits but a lot of small fish.

They had two yellow Labs (Ahi and Mochi) on the boat and if you were eating something they would come and put their heads on your knee.  The dogs belong to the Capt and deckhand.  Started at 7 am and last drift was at 1 pm.  On the dock was a crab boat and I got a couple of crabs.

Jeff,

Yes a Carolina rig with a treble hook.  Treble hook around a size 12 and 4 lb test leader and main line.  Leader from 1 ft to 4 ft.  Watch your fish finder.

Meet Danny (Superd270) at around 6:15 am.  We were probably had lines in the water by 7:30 am.  I had 2 thunder trout in a little while and then had a streak of bad luck and missed like 4 to 6 trout.  I think I had my limit by 9 am or 9:15 am.  All my thunders were 15" to 17".  Chartreuse w/gittiler power bait

Danny had 2 or 3 trout by that time.  We were tied up to my anchor and had the only one anchor.  So, we stayed out to 10:30 am maybe and Danny had his limit of 5 trout.  Some rainbows and thunders. 33 ft of water near Standley Blvd. 

Good day and nice weather.  This lake fish better with a little wind and is pretty hard to fish in heavy wind or calm conditions.  We had lunch at Bob Burgers.  Good fishing with you Danny and thanks for lunch.

Hi Chuck,

Nice fish.  I still remember when we were out at Linda Mar years ago.  We all had limits of salmon.  You and a few guys went out to the point and you lost that 30 lbs. butt.  You told me about it.  I went in to get some ice on my salmon.  We had a great dinner at John D. house.

Hope to hunt with you this season.

Crashtst,

On the East Bay Parks website.  They said there are going to start doing this.  For how long ?  Who knows.

Superd270,

I fish Tues to Thurs most weeks.  I will not be fishing this week because I do not like fishing during a full moon.  The bite is usually a lot slower.  If this works send me a private message on when you want to go.

Lines in the water at 8 am.  Tens mins and I had a double running. I set the hook on both lines and started pulling in the bigger fish.  Got it in and started on the other.  It wrapped around the anchor rope and it took awhile to get it free.  Close to the yak it pops off.

Long story short I was done by 9:50 am.  5 trout all dfg fish.  Biggest was 16" and I was fishing near Stanley Blvd in 33 ft of water.  All on Rainbow power bait.

Looked on their website last week and they planted last Wed and all the trout were penned up near the boat ramp.  They had a string of nets laid down and they let the fish get use to the lake before letting them out.  Don't know if they will keep this up.  Everyone thought there was going to be a "Kid Day" that weekend.

4 to 5 boats on the water and a float tuber.  A little windy but not strong.  No Thunder trout today.  Everyone was catching DFG fish.  Shore guys looked slow.

Got on the water at 8 am.  First fish was 8:10 am.  Second trout was at Noon and the last one was at 12:30 pm.  Real nice day with very little wind.  Saw a few yakers.  Gary was there with his buddy.  They left at 11 am and Gary had 4 trout.

Mas was there and his is another Japanese Fisherman.  It was great talking to you all.  All fish on power bait.

It has been funny.  Last week and this week I would meter fish and the ones that would bite few the ones and doubles.  When I would meter groups of fish there would be no bites.  Seems like it was better not to have a fishfinder.

Hi All,

It was windy last Thursday and maybe that killed the bite.  I got two and one was a small Thunder Trout (14").  I was wondering if the small Thunder Trout all have the black spots on body and a striped tail.  I have gotten bigger Thunders and they were all yellow/gold with a red stripe.

All Fish on chartreuse power bait and 32 feet of water near Stanley Blvd.

Thanks, Ken kickfish

Yes they are nice fish.  Shadow is getting fish from Oregon this year.  Probably, Del Valle and Quarry Lakes and Chabot are getting the same fish.  The trout are raised in a running creek (fence off) and not in cement ponds.  Great fighters and real great colors.  The meat is red.  As soon as Duck and Goose season is done.  I will be out there.

Shadow has no inspection.  One of the reasons I go there.

Thanks, Guys,

I will give you a report on how they taste after I smoke them on Monday.  Looks like Monday will be the first day without rain.

Hi All,

I was out Dec 23 and got 2 trout (13 to 15 ") at Shadow Cliffs in Pleasanton.  All day from 9 to 4:30 pm.  First trout was at 10 am and second was around 12:30 pm.  Long day, but with the Full Moon a few days ago I knew it was going to be a late bite.

Next day I talk to Kyle (Shadow 10 I think) and his dad Bruce in the parking lot.  Kyle has a Prowler 13 and his dad is a float tuber.  I don't think they did to good.  I was talking to Kyle every now and then.  They were in radio contact with each other.

Slow pick until around 11:30 am.  I had my first trout and felt like a good one.  But, it wrapped me around my anchor rope.  It was gone before I could pull it up.  I got 4 fish from noon to 1:30 pm.  Would of had my last fish around 2 pm.  But, it broke my 4 lb leader.  Stayed until 2:30 pm.

Shadow is getting trout from Desert Springs Trout Farm in Oregon.  Trout look real nice and are pretty good fighters.  They are raised in a fence off river and not in a pen or tank.  All had orange to red meat.

All fish were caught in 28 to 32 feet and green power bait. Biggest was 17" and 2 lbs.   Click on photo address in middle of the two photo.  This show the 15" on the first day with red meat.  Don't know why it did not up-load.

Happy Holidays,

Ken kickfish

Actually,  White-fronts or otherwise known as Specklybellies are one of the best tasting waterfowl we have.  The whole secret is all ducks and geese have to be a little bit on the rare side.  If you like your steaks well-done then any waterfowl prepare that way will taste like liver.

Hi All,

Had a very good White-Fronted Goose Hunt.  Friday Dec. 10, 2010 we had a little wind and clouds all morning.  Hunting near Sutter Refuge near Marysville/Yuba City on private land with Mike Moore Valley Guide Service.  5 hunters and we had limits of White-fronts, 2 Snow Geese and one Ross Goose.  We left the blind at 11 am.

Next day Sat. we had 6 hunters and had 7 White-fronts and 2 Snow Geese when we stopped hunting at 12:30 pm.  Both, morning were warm.  Starting out around 47 to 48 degs and high was around 65 deg.  Sat. was a little foggy at start and calm.  It became warm and sunny with no wind.  The little wind and overcast helped us on Friday.

Hi All,

I was on the water at 8 am and finished up at 11 am.  I got 5 trout from 11" to 17" all on Chartreuse powerbait.  Fishing in 32 to 36 ft of water near Stanley Blvd.  There were 6 other boats and it seem like maybe one other boat did better than I did before I left.  Maybe 20 cars in the boat launch parking lot.  So, it is starting to get busy there.
