i'll be heading up to san jose again this weekend and i would like to know what's hot right now. Anyone been to quarry, del valle, chabot, san pablo, shadow cliffs, calero, anderson? How's the bass bite

Are you specifically targeting bass or any species? People are starting to catch lgmths at most of the local lakes, but with this storm coming in this weekend, who knows what thats going to do.
Striped bass fishing has been fair. Most people have been using bait, but my next outing I'm gong to tie on some large rapalas or poppers. Hope this helps.

Yeah...targeting bass. I go up there a lot so i'm pretty familiar with the lakes up there. I just want to get on a decent bite catch fish. I was up there a couple of weeks ago and slayed the bass at del valle but i was looking for something a little closer. We have a boat. How bout the campbell perc ponds...that's like 5 minutes from my grandmas house.

Pretty much everywhere has been picking up with all the warm weather we've been having lately. If you can get some fishing befor and maybe during this storm, you might be able to hook up. Hopefully, Reelhabit will drop in and give his 2 cents. He lives in that area and does quite a bit of float tubing for bass. I'll find him for ya.

I wish I had something to share. I've been ill all week and haven't had a chance to get out. I live about 8 minutes from the perks but haven't fished it lately for Bass. I do know Almaden hasn't turned on yet, right Jim? but haven't heard or fished Calero or Coyote for a week or two. Hopefully one of the regulars here will chime in. Good luck.

Thanks guys...i'm going up there on thursday now and i heard there is a heavy storm coming today i think. HOpe it stops by then.

Better this weekend than last. It's been blowing the last few days but lightening up. Thursday, we're supposed to get some rain, but after that it should be nice. The weekend looks like it should treat you well. Good Luck!
