Looking to hit a few two days Clear lake trips.

Any decent Hotels with good boat hook-ups other than The Skylark?

Interested to know what tournament was at Camanche Lake Saturday. Might have been a club event. I am curious to know what the winning weight was.

I haven't fished there in 10 years, It was cold and foggy. Caught a couple of largemouth and a feisty Spot.

Avoid the issue if you can.

Try Pardee, there are some big green fish in that lake, and if you catch a trout by accident, you got supper!

Otherwise On the Delta at 5:00 and off by 11:00.

Or try Sherman!
