Alameda Co.— Bass action has slowed. Catfish action is slow but there should still be an occasional holdover fish to be caught. There are also some bigger cats that start feeding at this time of the year. Try fishing cut bait, chicken livers, dough, or worms on a sliding rig from the shoreline in front of the Ensenada Picnic Area, the dock adjacent the swim lagoon, in front of the park office off the Western Pacific Trail or the point off the Fruit Grove tree area.

Fishing at Horseshoe Lake/Quarry Lakes:

• If the kiosk is closed, please use the yellow Ventek machine to pay for parking.
• For fishing permits, you may use either the Ventek machine or the blue iron ranger posts across from the kiosk, from the entrance from the Isherwood Staging Area, and from the walk-through gates by the Sequoia Bridge and from the Niles gate.
• Please remember that you must be 100 feet away from the fish tube, the boat dock and the beach area while fishing from the shore and from a boat.
• The use of lead fishing tackle is prohibited at Quarry Lakes. You can exchange lead tackle at the kiosk in a “1 for 1” trade for stainless steel weights.
• If you want to report your catches, or have your photo taken, please come to the kiosk, and we will take your information!
