I'm thinkin about it to. I've fished a few of them, but have never done good :( they do have great prizes, kickboat, float tube, rods, reels, gift certificates, etc. Last year it was held at Uvas but I didn't enter, just watched the wiegh in. You would be the man to beat Mr.Lake.

I just noticed they have a mandatory meeting 4/30 a Monday night at 7pm. This could cause a problem for me. x(

Mel Cottons is who needs to be paid. They will not take money at the day of the event. I am working with them to get an online entry form so money can be mailed

I fished Lex yesterday and got bored. I wont be going back. For those of you that are fishing this event. Here is some info. I got 4 fish from 2-2.5lbs. All the fish were post spawn staged off points near spawing flats. All the fish were caught on lucky craft rip baits. The fish I got were suspended off the point's in the middle of the spawning bays. I tried a bunch of stuff, but only got bit on the rip. The water is low but clear (maybe 6-8ft vis.) I looked for bed fish and never saw 1. The lake is full of slime grass. Primary cover would be rock.

Really Lexington boring, nah couldn't be. :7

I fished that hole about 3 or 4 times when I first started fishing down here in california, i just pulled up a map and said there's water and went fishing. Caught a few back then, but there is absolutely nothing making me want to fish it again.

Good luck to all fishing the event if ya can catch one decent fish you will probably have it all sealed up.

Man, you guys hate this place. I love it! Best average fish in any bay area lake, you just have to give it a try when were not having a heat wave. Plus its 3 minutes from the house.

Yeah, John, like you, I got most of my fish on Sunday (at Anderson) on my Staycee jerkbait. I didn't leave the 5mph zone for close to 3 hours, working the area from the launch ramp to the far end of the dam & back. About every 5th or 6th cast, jerk, jerk - BAM! Only a couple over 2lbs., but at least 25 of 'em in that period of time -- lots of fun! (FYI, I was in my Four Winns, not my kickboat, so that probably upped my catch-rate a little, since I could cover the area a little faster & spread things out some).

You can bet I'll have that baby tied on on Sunday @ Lexington. Shame, the Parks guys won't even let us in a couple hours earlier for the tourney (kickoff time: 8am). I'll be there, though, representin'! (Taylor & I were there for the meeting). Already got one of the other sign-ups anxious to try out a BnT tourney down the line -- we do allow canoes, right?

Canoes are fine with us Jeff just as long as there is one person in the boat and man power only
