I'm craving for one too (not for eating just CP&R).  But I'll catch one from Lake Chabot today    Try the area on the left across from the main launch area.  Lots of good structures for Kitties.

thanks for the response I was prepared to paddle all the way to the other end of the lake

Hey Ramsey,

I've done good with a 3 way swivel set up with 2 lively night crawlers on the hook (keep you worms on a small cooler to keep 'em lively). When the water temp is warmer than usual, I'll paddle really slow (trooch) or drift along the submerged logs and rock piles. If the water temp is cool, you'll be better off parking it and soaking bait with a smelly mackerel. Good luck brother!
