SAN PABLO RESERVOIR FISH REPORT May 18, 2014 The San Pablo Reservoir Recreation Area is now open for the season with the hours during May will be being 6:00 am to 7:30 pm and boats need to be off the water by 6:30 pm. The Boat Launch area is open 7 days a week with snacks, drinks and tackle available. The Café is also open 6 days of the week from 9:00 – 3:30 so visitors can get some delicious food. The Main Rec is holding a monthly trout derby. The largest three trout weight in at the Main Rec get prizes. It $5 to enter the derby. Mt. Lassen planted 1,200 pounds of trout on May 14th 10% were trophy sized trout. Lake level has risen to 311 feet. It has been rising about a foot a week. The water temperature is about 74 degrees. Water is about 3 feet of clarity. The weather has been beautiful out here. Light winds in the evening. Trout are being caught from the shoreline near the Main Recreation Area, Oaks and the Pines. Boaters have been having the best luck at the Rock Wall, Sandy Point, and Scow Canyon. Chartreuse, Rainbow or Garlic Power-Bait for the Trout is the best. Fish your Power bait using a sliding sinker rig. If the bite slows try using inflated night crawlers to catch both trout and bass. The Broken-Back Fire-Tiger Rapala, Mepps, and Kastmasters are being used to catch trout on the troll. Throwing shad colored crank baits or spinners have been catching bass. Drop shotting roboworms off the points and rock has been killer for spotted bass. The Main rec, Scow canyon and boat launch being the better spots. Catfish have been bittting in the back of Scow canyon on Nightcrawlers and Chicken livers. With water temps warming up we expect to see more catfish bites. Crappie and Blue gills are still being caught at the boat launch area and the Main Rec fishing peir. The size of fish is getting better. Fishing using mini jigs, Atomic Teasers or floating red worms on bobbers works the best. Limit is twenty five. The best time is later in the day.
