Hi Sparky77

I am new to this site, I was there with one of my friend on the beginning of March. But now I am travelling oversea, Here's the pictures of the striper and a catfish that we caught.

I can't get the picture of the Catfish upload.

Me and a group of us will be back at the San Luis Forbay in May and see if we can snag us one of those as well

Thanks for the reply

Hi Sparky

It was at Forebay, Check #12 and using live mud sucker. Best time there is from Sept to March depends on the shad run.
Well, May might not be the best time fishing there. Maybe you can try early in the morning while the dam is open. If the dam is not open you might as well pack and go.
Do you have a boat? If you do, on May ...might be better off trolling at the main lake along the trash rack using broken back rebel in yellow or orange color and trailer it with a 6in (dark color) rubber worm.
Too bad I am out of country travelling in Vietnam or else I will join you. Good luck and save me a couple will you. Hehehe!

Thank you for the reply and the great advice

Let me know when you get back and we'll go fishing out there or for that matter anywhere

I hope all is well for you in Viet Nam and you get back safely
