It's been years but we used to catch shinier perch just south of the launch at the slough entrance to that housing area . Fish the break water made of tires

Took the boat to Ice House a couple of weeks ago and not even a strike in a couple hours of downrigging . Usually 30+ fish on other trips using  the same techniques , only keeping a couple for breakfast . Camping trip there two weeks ago , no boat , same results ! Only a couple of boats fishing both trips and only saw one fish caught from shore by the North Wind campgrounds . I think they need to stock the lake , saw little on my depth finder and deep , usually a foot or two of the bottom , surface temp was 60 degrees . Sorry for the negative report .

Thanks Adam and Ricci , guess I'll be using my standard 4/0 dodger and save the side kicks for another lake , another time .

What's the point ? You should use a surf board for surfing not a kayak ! Did not notice but did they have life vests on ? 

I'm a trout / salmon fisherman and my bass fishing knowledge is zero or almost . In the past minnows have worked well but I have limited room on my mini-x  for a bait bucket and no need to search bait shops for minnows . Should I go with a drop shot / worm or what this time of the year ? I assume the bass are still on their beds or at least the males are at the end of April ? Any help would be much appreciated . Thanks , Dan

Ricci ,
Should make it this year , check and paperwork in the mail this week . Really disappointed that I did not  make it last year , crappy year only got on the water once to try out new kayak .

Bought one of the lifetime kayaks from amazon for my granddaughter in pink ,  extra bucks for that color most places .  Quick shipping , 5 days or so  and  $130  shipped .

Lots of sloughs , launch from Suisun boat ramp or  Grizzly Is. and troll rattletraps real close to shore for stripers .

Hit Lake Solano for mostly just a paddle and to get out , no fish ! No surprise as it has not been stocked in a few years at least . 

Look for the small creek just down stream of L. Solano Park , interesting spot !
