San Poblo Res. 3/22

I snuck out to San Pablo Rev. today to do a little trolling, manage to hook 9 trout. I keep three, released 2 smaller ones, 2 came unbuttoned in the boat and decided to jump over board and the other 2 where long distant releases. The last fish of the day was a BIG ONE I thought the downrigger was hung up on the bottom the way my kayak came to a abrupt stop so I reeled up the downrigger to find the line was not on the clip but the rod was bent down like it was. I grabbed the rod and the kayak did a 180 and the line started to peal off the reel, it did not fill like a trout it felt like a Sturgeon I know that sounds nuts but there was nothing I could do to stop it, then the 6lb test popped my ride was over   it would have been nice to have seen it, but what a rush  . It was a good day on the water weather was great and not to many PBs out to play.

There are Dinos in there

I brought my daughter to the playground today and a guy was holding a carp that must of been at least 30lbs.  I wish I had my camera because I have never seen carp that big.  I guess they are in the reservoir since no one really fishes for them.  He said he caught it on a worm.

Some jumbo catfish as well.  Nice job

Nice haul Pat!

Thats a nice clip of fish there.  Yeah, there are definately some monster dino's in San Pablo.  I've seen a few pics of 6footers pulled out of there at benicia bait and tackle.  Some guy from vallejo has landed a couple there on anchovie. 

Nice fish, sounds like you were all over em.  Too bad about the biggun, sucks when you can't even get a visual.  I'm going to give it a go on Saturday.
