General Conditions

Striped bass fishing continues to be your best bet here at Los Vaqueros Reservoir with stripers averaging from 9 to 13lbs. Anglers are also catching a few big catfish, a few trout as well as some largemouth bass.

We gave away over 120 whopper mugs in May. We have given away 35 so far in June. To get a mug you can show us a picture of your fish as we appreciate the catch and release practices of many anglers.

Water conditions for fishing are excellent. The water temperature remains on the cool side at 61 degrees. Our hours are 6:00 am to 8:00 pm. Boats are due in by 6:30 pm. These will be our hours through August. Our water level is currently at 50 %. The reservoir has been drawn down to 50% for the Dam expansion work. Except for evaporation this is the level the reservoir will stay at for the next 5 months. The South entrance to the watershed remains open for fishing and other recreational activities.

East River “Sea Monster” Washes Up Under Brooklyn Bridge

Posted on May 26, 2011 | by Rogue Frog | 48 Comments

A seven foot long, two foot wide “sea monster” washed up beneath the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend. Some have described it as having the scales of a fish, body of a serpent, head of a pit bull and size of a large alligator.

Fishing in the Bay Area all my life it’s obvious to me what it is. Do you know what this “sea monster” is?

UPDATE:

This sea monster was confirmed to be an Atlantic Sturgeon by the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation.
