Here is what I know...
San Antonio: There are Stripers bitting, heard of some catches in the Harris creek area. The LM,SM bite is pretty slow over all right now though.
Naci: As Rob says, the lake "Was" up they (Monterey County") has dumped the level way down. But the fish are healthy. Lots of 1.8-2.25 fish being caught with a good mixture of 3-4 lb spots. I have been hitting Naci a lot in the last couple of months it is a good time for sure right now. With the CBC teams happening in a couple of weeks, might be kind of hard to get a good report out of the place.
Santa Margarita: It has been tough for most this year, last year was a completely different story. Flippin is the name of the game right now. Early morning late afternoon top water.
Lopez: It has been average, Not wide open, but not as tough as Margi...
Over all, I would say that Naci is your best bet right now... To fish is to live!

Dockboy, Just fished an AC Teams event yesterday at Lopez...Tough fishing over all, but there is a deep jig bite. Also, was out at Naci last week, they have stopped dropping it (finally) so the bite has changed a little. With the way the water dropped so fast the areas that were holding good fish are out of the water, you just have to go find the schools of 2 lb'rs they have moved. CBC Teams is there this weekend coming up (7th)...sure there is going to be a pretty good turn out for it. To fish is to live!

Thanks for the info bassin, just got back from Paso.
We fished Margi on Saturday. The weather sucked this weekend. Friday I drove into Paso with 85 degree weather at 5:30pm. We woke up to cold gray clouds and reports of rain at 55 degrees, something that was predicted to come in today in the evening. So so typical... x( Our friend tipped us off to a decent bite at Margi recently, and we went there hoping to avoid strong winds if the storm blew through that day, which it kinda did. Tough fishing there, drizzled off and on all day. My dad managed 2 dinks on drop shot, and it was looking pretty dismal for myself. Missed a bite on a rockpile fishing a jig, then crept up to a nice rock/grass transition an hour later and got this guy with the jig.

His buddy picked it up on the next cast, but alas, all that came back was a scale...so very close. Wish I got a pic of that.
Today we fished Naci. Was half expecting it be raining on arrival. CBC looked like a decent turnout...Im guessing somewhere around 30 boats. Reports were also favorable for Naci, but the cold front had moved in quick and I was afraid it shut everything down. Short things short, we got 5, 4 for myself and 1 for Dad on DS. Nobody seemed to be doing a ton of catching...a nice local at the launch ramp said he and his partner got half a dozen a piece. We don't have a graph or TM on this boat, so we spent a good deal of time messing with an anchor and drifts more than fishing. But we managed and I was able to get a nice spot on the jig around 1.

All in all it was a tough trip, but we really liked both lakes. Its relatively equidistant to myself in Santa Cruz and my dad in SoCal, and we loved what we saw at both lakes, and especially at Santa Margarita. Thanks for all the info and thanks for reading!
