JigMe Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I will be going to San Francisco for a week long business trip, and staying at the hotel close to the airport. I was wondering if there are some decent spots, where I can land a bass or two? Planning to take my travel rod, and a box of tackle with me. I will have a rental car, but don't want to drive too far. Any info would help! Quote
Matt Jungblut Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 im pretty sure theres a big pond in town there was a sidewalk all around it and we took a city bus to get there and you could rent row boats to fish when i was there we fished for trout with worms like 15 yrs ago so i dont know if its still there or if it would be worth while Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 21, 2012 Super User Posted January 21, 2012 Too bad you cannot take a couple hour car ride up to Clear Lake. Did you go on your trip already or is it still coming up??? Quote
JigMe Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 It is coming up on Feb. 15th, but still haven't find a good place to fish yet...hahaha! I got some good tips on fishing the bay, but I rather fish for Bass. Quote
dcorp Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 If you want to stay in the city you should just fish the bay. Can't think of any good bass lakes that you wouldn't have to drive a while to. Quote
JigMe Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 What is the closest Bass lake? And how long is the drive? Quote
Professional Overrun Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Okay buddy, get out your google maps! Lol If you dont mind a bit of a drive up I280 to the san jose area, then stevens creek reservior is your closest lake. Ive never been there, but it does have bass up to10 pounds. Shore access sucks i hear. If you dont mind a few more minutes drive then lexongton res. Is my home lake, but its down a lot right now cause we havent had nuch rain. I have to reccomend calero reservior in the almaden area, this place is known for its double digit bass. If you need any more info just hop on sanjosebass.com freshwater forum section and cruise through the archives or use the search function. There is currently a picture of me holding a fat lexington bass in the january lexington fishing post. Good luck, and let me know where you end up! Quote
oldschoolbasser Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I saw a lake off he 280,I think it's called Andreas Lake.It's not far from the airport. There are also 2 other lakes below it. You can view it on Google maps.Scroll south from Andreas to see them. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 16, 2012 Super User Posted May 16, 2012 San Pablo Reservoir if it's still open to the Public. Quote
