I actually fished San Pablo quite a bit several years ago, but have recently turned my interests to the ocean.

My question is this. Even if we rid the lake of Carp and Spotted Bass, is it a permanent solution? If they were able to appear once, why couldn't they appear again? All it takes is a few carp eggs stuck to a goose's foot to re-introduce carp, or maybe a jackass throwing some carp and/or smallmouth bass into the lake. The reason I ask, is because the short-term solution of killing off all unwanted species in a lake never seems to work. Just look at the pike problem in Lake Davis or the Lake Trout problem in yellowstone lake.
