I finally figured out how to fish them. I wasn't being patient enough. One fish, five pounds, one fish just under. Less than an hour fishing, right at twilight. Kyle Joe,

I nailed some really nice fish up at Kent on 5″ wacky rigged watermelon seknos. I finally figured out how to fish them. I wasn’t being patient enough. One fish, five pounds, one fish just under. Less than an hour fishing, right at twilight.

For Alpine the Marin Municipal Water District website has good overall directions here - http://www.marinwater.org/controller?action=menuclick&id=296 - although at the point where you talk about staying on the paved road at the end of the directions, what you want to do is at the point where the paved road starts to curve to the left, you will notice that you can instead continue straight ahead on a gravel road - once on the gravel road just follow to the end (only a few minutes drive) and you'll find yourself at the foot of Bon Tempe Dam. Walk about 700 yard walk along the dry lake bed and that will get you to the water (water levels are low right now). No need for a boat - in fact no boats allowed or even body contact on this lake since it's a water reservoir. For Lake Kent you take the same directions to Fairfax, but instead of turning left on Bolinas Road you stay on Sir Francis Drake and keep going straight through West Marin, you pass Woodacre, San Geronima, and then Forest Knolls and finally to Lagunitas. The tricky part is that there are no real indications that you are close to the lake. But you basically park on the side of the road on Sir Francis Drake at Papermill Creek Bridge - it's basically just a spot where Sir Francis Drake crosses the creek. From there you follow a fire trail down to the lake. I hope this helps! Joe Hey mpanas - sorry for the delay in responding.

I lib in Sonoma county and looking at the maps on basscraft is tough to interpret. Also, any good points to fish from shore, as I don't have a boat? How does one access (as in get to) these lakes?
