Lookin for a little bit of help...

Hey guys, just moved down to Brentwood from Washington State. Grew up in Fresno, went to Wash, now back into Cali. Love me some crappie but not sure where to look this time of year. At the moment I am fishing from shore, but in a few months my Skeeter will be back up and running.

Disclaimer: I am not by any means looking for your spots nor do I keep a single fish to take home, all catch n release for me, just some info to help a guy out.

Anyone out there got any good tips for a guy fishing from shore until my Skeet is all done up? I have done plenty of research on the Delta, and I know its not the best place, but there is other lakes around here i cant find much info on. I work very close to Bethany Res, anyone ever get any out of there? Hows aboot Contra Costa? Anywho, thanks for any info guys, it is very much appreciated!

Cheers

Dan

Oh ya, and is there any places near Brentwood that have live minners? Im assuming its still legal in Cali to use live bait...

Welcome Sonn, I think "gotcha bait" may still sell minnows haven't been there in years. They are not far from you.. off highway 4 just before u go over the Antioch bridge. Give them a call or better yet just drop in then you can ask them about local crappie. Here's a long shot but try twitchell island. it's an old old favorite.
