Clear Lake trip

[pd]

Am planning a trip this summer to fish Clear Lake. Would really appreciate any advice on places to stay, preferably with a dock for the boat and decent, confortable accomodations for the wife. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Konocti Vista Casino, they have everything you or she needs. About 2-3 miles from Downtown Lakeport. Go to the top of the home Forum and you will see there advertisement in Blocks. Click on it and your saved.

Good Luck

The Family and I are tenatively booked already for when the boy's get out of school this summer once my Vacation Dates are secured for my first pick of avaibility. (18 years and still the 1'st most low man DOWN on the totem pole for Vaca Picks' )


.... unless we do the SoCal swing this year with the surfing beaches like Newport and a visit to DisneyLand while borrowing my parents 5th wheel ... and then hitting Solvang, Santa Barbara, Pismo and Hearst on the way back up as the wife and boys have never experienced the SoCal ocean or all of the above as well..


Clear Lake will DEFIANTELY be the cheaper route for me to take this year !!

Huntington or Sunset... Newport pretty much sucks for surfing, unless you hit the Wedge (which can really be tricky as it breaks close and hard).

Ferndale is a good bet. me and my dad go there -5times a year, and kyle is very nice and accomadating. Plus theres bass right off there wall. Air conditioned rooms, or they have the "cottages" of you preffered a bigger living quarters.

We stayed at Bluefish Cove in '04. They have furnished cottages w/cooking facilities, pots & pans, dishes, silverware etc... all ya gotta bring is your own food. Rates are/were reasonable, and they are/were pet-friendly...we took our beagle and retriever with us, no prob even with two dogs. Also, if I remember correctly they have a launch ramp and dock (I was fishing as a backseater in a Stren tourney, so my boat stayed home)

there is also the edgewater resort that has a rv camp plus rooms in fact near ferndale has dock and power....dont use their ramp would launch at ferndale or the state park...theirs is narrow and big rocks near the end....

Here is what people are saying:
Steve, Just a little note to thank you for renting us the house. It was the best decision we made. It is the perfect location for fishing tournaments. The short idle to the tournament head quarters saved us a lot of time vs. loading and unloading the boat every day. The dock was perfect for two boats and we found adequate parking for both trucks and trailers. We will be using your house in the future and would recommend it to all tournament fisherman (except when we want to use it) LOL.
Best regards, Randall
Hi Steve,
Janie here, Bryan ’s wife! The children and I just returned from your place on Thursday evening. I just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful time, and that your house was just fantastic for us, clean, spacious, peaceful, well-supplied, and just as you had described. Thank you so much – it was a great break and we would love to rent it again sometime down the road. Bry prefished every day and he fished every evening off your dock with the kids for bluegill, sunfish etc. What a thrill for the children as they caught so much, and loved eating them pan fried for dinner. We went out in the boat a couple of times. My 5 year old daughter actually caught a decent sized bass herself. I rented a car from Enterprise, who picked us up and took us back, for a couple of days and we went to play mini golf at Konocti, visited the local museum in town, played in the park by the water, rented from Blockbuster, shopped etc. They were mostly happy just puttering around the house.
Well, thank you again and ciao for now.

Ferndale Resort. I took my wife there for a week last Sept. The owners are very accomodating and they have a great restaurant for a nice dinner. The view is outstanding and the docks are terrific.
see www.ferndaleresort.com
I would stay away from lodging in the town of Clearlake. If you want to fish the south part of the lake just haul your boat down to Redbud landing and bring it back at night. You can cruise down there but you have to go through the narrows which can get pretty hairy when the wind comes up .
Good Luck!

Hey thanks a lot everyone - really appreciate all the info. Last (and only) time I fished Clear Lake was in '88! A bunch of us came north to fish a club vs. club tourney and had a great time. Except of course we got smoked by all the locals who were using a technique we'd never heard of called rippin'.

Can't wait to get up there again and start looking around.
