The Zaski men were unstoppable this week! They caught Crappie, Bass, Bluegill and Trout mostly on minnows from a boat. Mark Zaski caught his personal best Bass and is going to mount his 7 Pound Trophy BASS!!

Pete & Joe Visalli (brothers) trolled with crawlers all over the lake and caught a beautiful limit with a 4 pound topping their stringer !! Merlin & Matt's stringer held 7 nice Rainbows and they too trolled with flashers and crawlers under the power lines.

Molly Purvis, Photo #1 caught a gorgeous 4 lb. Rainbow this week on a Rapala while trolling. Steve Sherick went trout fishing on garlic Powerbait by the bridge but caught a Catfish instead (it weighed in at 6 lb. 8 oz.)

Adam Santos, Photo #2 of Castro Valley actually TRIED for BASS and CAUGHT a BASS, a big one at that!! Adam was tossing spinner baits just bass the buoys heading towards the bridge and hooked a hefty hog weighing 6 lb. 8 oz. After his photo shoot Adam took his bass back to where he caught it and let it go!! That's real sportsmanship at it's finest!!

Rebecca McIntosh, Photo #3 fished off the dock at night and limited out on trout and her big one was a 6 pounder! She was so excited she came back the next night, she said she used nightcrawlers for bait. The Uribe & Delgado, Photo #4 families caught some nice trout on garlic yellow PowerBait also off the rental dock at night.

Trollers Nick & Lisa Collins (no relation)!! caught 3 nice bows trolling with Needlefish down in the channel. Brad Carlon of Benicia caught a tagged trout and it was hooked on PowerBait and weighed 2 lb. 12 oz.

Even though we just experienced the hottest week of the year, triple digits and all, it didn't slow down the fishing one bit.
