when mashing down the barb with pliers, check to see if any light shines through where the barb meets the hook shaft

google map the aqueducts by Tracy CA. Some have parking lots next to the water with a fence that you can lay your fishing rod on after casting out. Do not have to walk far from your car, there are garbage cans but no porta pottys. Catfish, stripers, black bass, etc. beware of falling into the water, many have drowned. Many YouTube fishing videos for the aqueducts available: "Palm Circle Pete" used to post about fishing the aqueducts around Tracy, then he moved. Others have video fishing post off Grant Line Road, have to fish early mornings as the wind really picks up in the afternoons.

Taking my grandkids fishing at Heather Farms Park, Walnut Creek 12-20-22. For their safety and my piece of mind, we will be fishing behind the fence close to the administration/recreation building. Identifying me, bamboo fishing rod with vintage Zebco reel, shopping cart with fat, big wheels (wheels from kid's "Big Wheels" trike). If the trout plant has not occurred, we will move to Contra Loma Reservoir. Hope to fish with you one of these days. tight lines Nonki

OK, BroMike most likely at Lake Temescal, Chabot, Don Castro, Quarry, etc. (member of East Bay Regional Parks) from shore after a trout plant. I use distinctive fishing gear vintage bamboo 3-piece rod (x-old fly rod) with a vintage Zebco reel, vintage Garcia Colon rod (metal ferrule) (trout fishing), modified shopping cart with big fat wheels" from my kid's "Big Wheel", maybe other vintage (Mitchel 300 reels), some "Frankenstein" rods (my hobby making rods from other people's discards) and a balance system rod holder.
Happy Holidays, tight lines

BroMike, we fish many of the same areas. I have a Porta-Bote but have not gone out in a while. I'm elderly and lost many of my fishing buddies due to medical issues/age. I get too tired by myself to hoist up the boat to my roof rack, assemble (take apart) the boat, load (unload) the motor, anchors, net, and fishing gear to enjoy the fishing trip. Another issue is personal safety on the water and driving home after fishing. I've been doing a lot of bank, pier, aqua duct by Tracy fishing, let's meet up and see if we are compatible.
