Shadow Cliffs Pleasanton 6-22-10

Hi All,

Got a little late start.  On the water by 9 am.  Anchored up in 34 ft. of water.  Metering a steady line of fish on the bottom.   I had my first one after 5 mins.  Then, lost my second and third trout to the cormorants.  They were thick.  I know the 3 other boats were having a problem the them also.

My 4 th fish was 22" and 5 lbs 10 oz.  Limited in 90 mins.  All on green power bait. 3 out of the five trout had red meat. Others were 13 1/2 to 14".

Did you find anything in their stomach's? I caught an 8 pounder there earlier this year and when I cut open the stomach to see if it had been feeding on anything it was totally emtpy!

Nice fish Ken

Congrats on the limit Ken.

That is a damn fine day of fishing. Thanks for the report !

Val,

The trout are feeding pretty good this year.  A few empty stomachs but in general they have been eating something.  I think I found a few with rocks.

In years past I have found rocks and cigarettes butts in them.

Green (Chartreuse) power bait with glitter.

Nice catches!  Thanks for the report and picture Ken.

thx for the report!  I live 10 minutes from there, so it's encouraging to see the report- hoping that my kids will score some trout when I take them there the next time.

 

Rocks and cigarette butt's eh?

So i guess there arn't any holdovers.
