Lake Chabot 1-3-11

Went out to Lake Chabot this morning as I was dying to both fish and to try out some new gear and apparel close to home.  Was on the water from 9am to 2pm, just a light breeze most of the day and the water was clearing but still a bit stirred up.  Only had one good hookup, a 3-4 lb. rainbow caught on a size 2 red/white bladed Mepps spinner that I managed to release with the net (need a bigger net).  Luckily it was also fairly nice day for a leisurely paddle.  I promise to provide pics if I'm not "practicing" catch and release next time.

Regardless of catch and release lets see some fish porn!!! WTGet on those ChaBOWS!!!!!

WTTM Zippy!  Look forward to hearing many more reports in the future, hopefully with better netting results.

I think we didn't get pics because of his netting misfortune.

Welcome aboard  and thank you for your first fishing report Zippy.  Hope to read more reports from you in the future.

WTG on the rainbow Zippy and welcome aboard.
