See you this afternoon Jimmy, Ted lost a ton of jigs last night!

I learned the lake from the best way back when & that was you Larry!

Actually I meant to delete this post when I started the new one! Was up all night so come on!

12 lbs 5 oz of pure fun! She was released after photo opp!

clum553946

Clear Lake is definitely open! Caught this beauty this morning. She went 12 lbs 5 oz & was released after photo opp! Our limit was 40 lb 3 oz, Manny Frias & I caught over 50 fish!

There were a bunch of boats, both pleasure and fishing, on the water today!

clum553946

Thnx! I ordered a 20 & 30.

My house is in Riviera West. We have our own ramp, docks, & small park area on the lake. I drop my boat in & am fishing in a minute! We’re close to a supermarket, plus an easy 15-20 minutes to Kelseyville or Lakeport. The fire hazard is a real concern, but l chose this area for the fishing a...

Wasn’t bad last week, just some spots close to shore, fish were deeper anyway

clum553946

What caused the boat doing 61mph in the first video to react like that? It didn’t look like they hit a big wave or an object.

6th Sense has an 8’ cranking rod rated for up to 2oz lures that works very nicely! It’s my go to rod at Clear Lake for the big crankbaits.

clum553946

I still use the 6” spade tail Avocado Weenie & Green Weenie. Been using them for 20 years and still get great results. I think the names of the colors have changed but still available.

clum553946

I know it’s like fishing with R2D2, but you can always just use it manually too. Hard to go back to the Fortrex for me, the Ultrex is great when you’re fishing by yourself!

clum553946

It caught the last train out with Common Sense!

clum553946

Don’t know how I fished without one!

Odyssey made by Northstar?

Dan Isaac is the man for reel service! Quick turnaround and quality work!

I have a 2012 Ram 4x4 crew with the Hemi engine. It pulls both my Ranger Z19 with tandem axles & my Champion 203 tandem which is pretty heavy with ease. I used to have a GMC Yukon before that & it did well on the highway but struggled a bit in the mountains. As far as needing 4x4, it comes i...

It’s pretty dicey around Nice right now

clum553946

Eastman was killing it about a month ago on jigs at night, the extreme hot weather seems to have slowed things down. It’s a smaller lake. At Clear Lake you have a better chance of getting a monster or two. Also, there’s just a lot more water to fish at Clear Lake and it’s one of the destination bass...

Threw the frog south yesterday evening and early this morning. There were no strikes this morning as the water was calm and dead. No fish rolling or breaking water, it was eerily quiet! We also threw the Whopper with only a few half hearted slaps. Only had one blow up in the evening that produced a ...

clum553946

Well, I prefer night fishing. You avoid jetskis & ski boats, you dont have to fight for your spots, it’s cooler, quieter & you catch some really nice fish! Also, you see more shooting stars in 30 nights than most people see in a lifetime! I’m also a hard core night owl!

clum553946

Nice boat. That’s a good model for Clear Lake!

clum553946

Glad you're ok and are getting back on track! Tight lines!

clum553946

Very nice! That fish looks really healthy, no wonder it put up a good fight! Congrats!

clum553946

My daughter's first jig fish, a nice 4.7! Fishing is great at Clear Lake presently!

clum553946

If you're staying at the old Ferndale Resort, that area is a great place to fish. Right behind the paddlewheel boat & the wall always held fish. It gets pretty weedy there, but Carolina rigged double wides & 10" power worms always did well there! You're really close to Henderson & t...

clum553946

I like fishing south as it's deeper & has more areas to hide from the wind. I fish evenings & nights to get away from the heat! They were on it this past week! I posted a report.

clum553946

Right now they're on a good jig bite & some reaction. If the bite holds you'll be in for a treat! I'll post a report in a day or so as we're going out again

clum553946

Saw Shop in Kelseyville is a great restaurant with great food! It's not far from Soda Bay and is great for dinner. Richmond is good if you want to dock and eat, Woody's in Kelseyville Lumber for lunch.

clum553946

Probably will be short lived if the Clear Lake winds kick up!

clum553946

The lake is loaded with baitfish (shad) right now so the bite can be tough. Move around & throw different baits. There was a good smallmouth bite at Mendocino last week. Hopefully by the time you get up there, things will have changed from last week.

clum553946

I'm hoping San Antonio bounces back. It got so low I wonder if they had a massive die off? There used to be some big stripers in that lake!

clum553946

It's a mud hole that looks like it's filled with chocolate milk! Probably suspended clay. I doubt there's anything in there.

clum553946

Was out Mon-Weds and the west side south around Konocti was active for us.

clum553946

Water has been relatively calm so you might want to launch where it's most convenient, and motor to your spots.

clum553946

Or Clearlake Bait & Tackle in Clearlake at Redbud launch site if the east side is more convenient for you.

clum553946

you're probably better off taking the 5 all the way up & cutting over at Williams on SR20. (Unless you like good Chinese food, there's the Spring Garden in Woodland! lol) You take Main St thru town & turn left on Cottonwood. Main takes you SR16 which hits SR20!

clum553946

To add perspective, it's about as high as it got all of last year.

clum553946

Took my daughter fishing & she got into a good Senko bite!

clum553946

I notice therre hasn't been any dealers responding to this thread to justify themselves yet!

clum553946

Richmond! Has great wings & Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburgers, & cold beer!

Jig fishing is good this time of year at Clear Lake. Jimmy at Clearlake Bait & Tackle has an excellent selection of Rodstrainer jigs that are one of my favorites to throw here. I'd use 1/2 oz as the wind is starting to pick up & you can always ask Jimmy where they are hitting around the lake!

clum553946

I'll take it if it's still available. PM your info.
