Gonna do some trolling for trout and maybe see if the bass are ready for jigging spoons.  Jeff

Its a free launch. But its a steep downhill carry or cart it down.

Wish I could join you but unfortunately it won't happen.  Good luck. 

BTW, is your cove near the East or West shore?  I know you don't launch from a ramp, but what is the nearest one, Fleming, Blue Oaks, or Moccasin?

Michael

Blue oaks i think. Ill have to check

Not sure yet if I'm going or not.  I'll let you know. 

I talked to a bass pro friend of mine who has fished Pedro a lot the last few weeks.  Water temp is about 57*.  Tip for bass: work the points with wood or trees with senko's, jerkbaits, or split-shot a green pumkin/black fleck baby brush hog.  I have no report on the trout bite.

What time are you headed up?

Was gonna leave around 7am or so. you are more than welcome to throw your yak on my car and ride up with me no charge for gas.

as I said before I have to work this weekend...
so g-luck!  the fish were jumping inside coves everywhere around 30-40 ft of water.
I'm pretty sure you'll get them.
can't wait to see your report!

Naoki, where's your report?    That's a lake that was in my back yard when I lived with mom.  Would love to hear how you did.

Change of plans, I am going to had up around 3pm now and fish the evening bite. Seemed better last March in the evening.

but I don't have anything to report...
It was Monday...  I went check out two other reservoirs (Modesto & Turlock) but they were both still very muddy.
I got to Don Pedro after 2pm & launched at Flemming Meadows.  I didn't realized that its about 5 miles from Jeff's secret spot, and I was going slow trolling, so by the time I got there I had to leave...  When I got back to boat ramp, it was already dark...
I got some hits on my broken back rapala but didn't stick (it keeps doing that... )...  I got some small LMB on same troll pattern but they were really small...
The water looked very good & weather was super nice tho...
so I bet Jeff will do good!

Naoaki, thanks for the report

Naoaki, thanks for the report

Ditto, it is always nice hearing a report from your home lake, especially since I don't get to visit it as much as I used to.

When you paddled out of Flemming Meadows, which direction did you head?  Straight out, left, or right?  Just curious.

Michael

If he headed towards the cove I suggested he headed to the right

Jeff--I decided to head to the Delta again.

Had some good luck in Whites Slough today.  6 bass, biggest 3-4 lb.  All but one 2 pounds or better. 

Good luck at Pedro.

Be careful on that lake at night in a yak.  I almost got run down by a full speed Bass Boater gunning out of the FM harbor with no running lights!  Yeah, I had my flag up, a REI Running light on the stern, guess he didnt see em', and was just glad the pedals didn't fail me as I tried to run for my life when he zoomed by!
