Tough day at San Pablo Reservoir

Met up with Jedmo and Fishing Dave this morning at San Pablo.  Boat inspections weren't available at the rec center entrance where we chose to launch, but they were uneventful at the main entrance.  We hit the water at about 7:30.  Water is really cloudy and full of debris from the recent storms. There was a 3000 Lb. plant on Wednesday. Trolling Rapalas produced nothing.  The lady at the rec center recommended soaking chartreuse power bait.   We gave that a try too but only Dave got a fish.  We stayed on the water until about three but the bite never came. There were a few fish being caught on the shore but all in all, a very slow day; still a good day fishing with the NCKA gang.  Great meeting Dave and Jedmo.  We will hit it again when the water clears up.

Thank you so much for this report! I was thinking of trying San Pablo tomorrow, but I guess I'll work on WAF instead. 

I drove by there twice today on " Domestic Duties ",  looked hard for ya guys out there but never saw ya.

 Water look like it had a little wind too,..  Nice try...

 Those Mutant Trout will be on tap soon....  

Hello Martin, thanks again for the invite. I had a lot of fun even without the
rainbow. For a minute there though, I thought it was going to rain hard on us.
Thank God it didn't. I was not prepared for the rain. BTW, awesome homemade
beer you shared with me and David. That was very good. I hope next time there
would be another bottle with my name on it. I enjoyed the beer very much.

Hey bennettdanville, I was the other yaker there as well. I left a little earlier and no I came up blank as well. The guy on the shore was using rainbow powerbait and limited out. Sorry to hear only one between all of us. Maybe I'll see you guys out there again sometime.

It was nice kayak fishing with you this morning Mark. I hope to see you on the
water soon again sometime. Perhaps you can show me a trick or two how to catch
those kokanee salmon.

Jedmo

Thanks for the report guys. Sorry you didn't catch much. I was figuring on crappy water conditions so I'm waiting till next weekend if the weather holds. Not sure where I'm gonna fish but I know I'm getting out next weekend somewhere if all goes well. They stock mutant trout at this place. The only time I fished there I caught a 6.5lb rainbow so I know this place can produce. Better luck next time.
