Yup, drove down Sunday from Half Moon Bay, where we were RV'ing, and came home via Hwy 1 thru Santa Cruz. Now, I know the subject has come up before (a LONG time ago!), but I had to wonder as I passed through *Bean Hollow*: does anybody know anything about the private bass lake there, where the guy used to charge an arm & a leg to fish there (like, $60/day)? I think the guy had the place stocked w/Florida-strains, which oughtta be gettin' pretty SIZABLE by now! :9

It seems to me Mr. Lake had talked to the guy about possibly doing a tourney there, and he appeared open to the concept, but the idea seems to have just faded away.

Does anyone know if the same guy still operates the place? I seem to recall they only allowed barbless hooks, but they'd perhaps make an exception for a tube tourney there.

Can someone follow up on this, or provide any more info, if you have any? I think it'd be worth pursuing! If I look, I can probably dig up a phone number & address/contact person (if it's still the same).


Anybody have an update on this place, or have you ever fished it? Let's check it out!
