Went to Quarry lake in Fremont today. Fished from 10:30 till 2:00 and caught my five fish limit, weighing 8lb 11oz. All were caught with a black egg sucking leech with green fish pills. The bait comes from Mad River Manufacturing and can be ordered from:www fishpills.com.When I got there the bank was full of fishermen. When I left there was no one there. No one caught anything but me . I know that the bait was the difference. This is the second time I limited out using these rubber worms. Just goes to show you that you need to try different things when the basics do not work.
Went to Los Vaqueros for the last time until they plant big fish. I had a free boat rental so I trolled the entire lake from 60 feet down to 5 feet under the surface. Only had two fish on in four hours. The salmon are turning yellow and soft and the trout are small. It is going to take another year or two before the salmon reach full size. so let the place rest and fish some where else.
Going to try downrigger fish at Del Valle soon So stay tuned.
The local lake have no fish stocked until December. That means carp fishing with bread and corn. Don't laugh try to bring in a 31lb. carp on four lb. test line. You will need to run the shore so you do not get spooled. Thats the size of the monster caught two weeks ago. Good fishing and as my dad always said God Bless.

Hello Michael,
First of all, I really enjoy your fishing reports and technique tips for catching trout...especially the one's for Quarry Lakes. I just started fishing (rookie) and beginning to learn the ropes. Do you mind telling me how you fish the black leach/worm (i.e. jig it, slow retrieve, float it under a bobber?).
Thanks,
Kevin
