Quarry Lakes is a lake in Alameda County, California.
Quarry Lakes is a lake in Alameda County, California and covers about 4.4 acres.
The small size of Quarry Lakes makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Quarry Lakes include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Hitch, Largemouth Bass, Sacramento Blackfish, Sacramento Pikeminnow, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
When bluegill are the target on Quarry Lakes, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
A useful largemouth bass plan on Quarry Lakes is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
The first channel catfish pass on Quarry Lakes should fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
For rainbow trout on Quarry Lakes, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; look along a shallow shelf, then let two bites set the useful depth.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then test the drop before leaving.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; give shaded water a separate pass; begin beside green weeds, then use wind to narrow the search.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat bite, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; work a quiet shoreline, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
