I hit up lake chabot as often as I can. Mainly fish from the bank and hit up spots between alder point and the boat house. I’ve had luck and have caught some good size bass but also get skunked plenty. Not sure when or where they spawn and I thought this platform wouldn’t be a bad place for bass fisherman to communicate and share current and local info about the lake. WDYT?
Really easy to get bites, and it has some big fish i caught my pb here. Only thing is at times you can get kicked out before you even cast one time. Once you go a couple times, you understand how to not get caught and how to get around security gaurds. Everytime you see one, just leave instantly and stay right outside the lake for a couple minutes. Go back inside and you’ll have another 20 min of fishing. After a couple times though the call the cops so watch out.
