Shadow Cliffs 4-7-10 Pleasanton

Got on the water at 9 am.  Lots of boats already coming in with limits.  I should have had my limit.  I was getting doubles and a few times the power bait was not even hitting the bottom.  When, a trout was running with it.  I ended up with 3 rainbows.  12, 13 and 13 1/2 inches.  Bite ended at 9:30 and 10 am. I stopped fishing at noon.   I don't think I got a hit in the last 2 hrs.

I was surprised when I got home and started to clean them.  They all had pink to red meat.  The bigger two had the flesh color of a salmon, steelhead or like a Eagle Lake trout.  I am cooking them right now. 

Sorry, no pics.   I think my camera died.  Big accident on the Sunol Grade (680) going there.  Accident was on the side headed towards San Jose.

DrHabanero...I just used Garlic Salt and pepper.  Then a little fresh lemon and soy sauce after it is on the plate.

Hamachi John...Is that a Tarpon 160 you fish on?  If it is.  That is my main ride.  I work weekends.  So, I usually fish Tues, Wed or Thurs.  I will PM you the next time I go.

Congrat on the Bows and thank you for the report Ken.

I was there Tuesday (the Quarry is not trollable. Too much algee.) trolling in the electric boat and hardly any one was catching.
I trolled up a small one.C&R A fisher on a hobby said he hooked a small one with a leader coming out of its mouth.The water is so clear 20ft visabilty. Did see some hudge carp cruseing. Had a good day of tharopy.
2000lbs of DFG was planted 4/5

Hi RayMac,

I guess I missed you by a day.  San Jose Merc said there was a 17 lbs 8 oz out of Quarry on Tues.  That's a pretty big rainbow. 16 lbs out of Del Valle.  Same day. Take care Ray.
