Lake is almost full. Water temp around 50 degrees. Bite is slow, but a few decent fish being caught.

Pat

That's great news! And I hope the motel will make adjustments that will reduce the chances of it happening again.

Where ever you go, be careful. Forecast is for big winds on Sunday.

No doubt about it, thieves suck! If we are going to travel with our rigs, about all we can do is make stealing more difficult and have good insurance. The baby monitor idea is an excellent one. I also like the Loc-R-Bar, have had one on two previous boats: https://www.amazon.com/Loc-R-Bar-Alarm-Syst...

I fish Lake Oroville quite a bit along with Collins Lake and Camp Far West. In the last month or so I have often caught spotted bass that are spitting up pond smelt or even have a mouth full of them. When this has happens I typically use my electronics to search for bait in the water column. Earlier...

Pat

OH no! You are supposed to have white wine with fish, not a Cab. Seriously that's a bad one.

Pat

First we lose Jerry McGinnis, now Forrest Wood.

I bet they are fishing together on some great river up above, each taking turn guiding the other.

Pat

I will probably come down on Friday.

I was there on the Dec 23rd. Fishing with a buddy and his son we caught all of our fish on Ned rigs in the top 15' . We fished Angels arm and between the bridges, did better between the bridges targeting points. They are starting to bunch up so if you catch one, hang around. Water temp was still mid...

Pat

Thanks! Enjoyed that!

Pat

Ive never had a problem running a group 24 starting battery , 3 different boats Can run live well pumps all day My boat sits low already with 4 batteries back there I'm with Dave. Group 24 does everything for me too. I fish similarly to the original poster. Limited tournaments, 2 9" graphs, us...

Let's bump it again

Pat

Good idea to try plastics. Ned rig is a good choice.

Pat

Thanks guys!

Pat

I did a search before posting, but everything I found was pretty old. Going up in a couple weeks for two days of fun fishing on New Melones. Just need a place for a night for two of us. Any recommendations for a clean safe place with boat parking? We probably can get by without charging batteries, b...

Yes, the fishing has been pretty good. Target bait fish, if you don't see bait on your graph, keep moving. Not saying you won't catch any if you don't see bait, but it definitely improves your chances. We have been catching fish from right on the bank out to about 30 feet. Water has been falling abo...

I think it is a great schedule, should bring a lot of action and that makes for exciting TV and Internet coverage. I really enjoy watching and have learned from watching especially online.

Pat · Re: Clear Lake Fishing Report 9/29/19 Great report Troy! Thank you!

Great report Troy! Thank you!

Pat

Watching that series of catches was amazing, at one point 16 straight casts! His hands and arms were cramping! First time I have seen a fisherman be relieved to get a fish landing penalty, forced him to take a break.Edwin is definitely on a roll, and doing this after his home was destroyed by a torn...

Pat · Re: Clear Lake Report 6/6/2019 Thanks Troy, appreciate the detailed info. Pat

Thanks Troy, appreciate the detailed info.

Pat

Great for you! I found my Stratos in the classified. Good deals are there for buyers and sellers.

Pat

Great video, where did you guys launch?

Pat

And, the fishing at Lake Oroville is great right now. Not unusual for a pair of anglers to catch 100 in a day. There will be some dinks in the lot, but a lot of solid 14-16" fish too. They are fat and strong. The recent cold snap slowed things down for reaction and topwater, but small plastics ...

Pat

Can they trace ownership and bill the owner for the cost?

Pat

So great that someone called them in, and that they were caught. If you see suspected poachers in California, please call 1-888-334-CalTIP (888-334-2258)!

Thanks Edd

Pat

Wow! How about some details? Congratulatons!

Pat

Good deal! Exciting to hear that you got a fish to hit topwater too!

Pat

This truly is great news. Hope it continues on its path to implementation. Call your legislator!

Pat

Hi Lowrance Gurus, I have a Lowrance Elite 9 Ti and am considering purchasing an Ultrex Trolling motor. What capabilities will I have with the built in transducer on the Ultrex? I realize I will not have side scan. Will I have conventional sonar and down scan capability? I currently have a Totalscan...

Pat

This really is sad. These fish, especially the big ones, are used to being at or near the top of the food chain, except for us. I'm thinking they just are not used to or expecting something like a sea lion to threaten them. I am afraid any complaint to the authorities will fall on deaf ears because ...

Pat

I was there on Sunday the 7th. My buddy and I had about 50 fish, no big ones. We caught fish pretty much every where we stopped. Couple or three 2+, lots of keepers. Fish are in the top 10-15 feet. No reaction fish. Most on Ned rigs, tubes and a few on wacky Senkos. Water in Rock creek and Northern ...

Bass Cat makes them. CBoat's price is a great deal!

He is in good position after day 1.

I second Collins lake, they do regular trout plants and the lake is close enough to you to do last minute trips. Get good rain gear and consider going out in stormy weather. Use good sense to be safe, but those big fish and others often get active as fronts come in. Also consider going over to East ...

Pat

Larry, I saw your much appreciated warning and was watching the weather closely. WeatherUnderground.com actually has a reporting sensor and forecast right at the Emerald Cove Marina. The forecast there was mid 30s and we were planning to get there after the sun was on the road down. The ramp and lau...

Pat

Since you appear to be a novice as far as bass fishing goes, I would save jigs for "Phase Two." You also said Berryessa and North so you will be fishing lakes, mostly reservoirs and maybe Clear Lake. The best way to learn is to get bites so that's what I base my recommendations on. 3/8 and...

Pat

Hey guys, If you are planning a trip to Bullards, be sure to check road conditions and not just weather on the lake! I was up there today and going up the hill, about 1/2 mile after Lake Francis, my 2WD Chevy pulling and 18 ft Stratos came to a stop. The overnight rain and snow left a sheet of ice o...

Pat

I am sure it will vary by boat. My friend paid $1200 or $1300 for 20lb carpet. Nice and plush.

Pat

Hey doc, I would be concerned about the temperatures in the shed have you put in an exhaust fan or gable fan to keep the heat down? I think the heat could do some permanent damage to the epoxy and resin. If you are storing rods with reels on them I would be concerned about heat damage to the line o...

Pat

My friend just had Mike McCluskey re-carpet his Ranger 518 and it came out beautiful. Cost was reasonable too. He is licensed and bonded. 916-508-7992.

Pat

Danny's are made with flourocarbon not monofilament. Quality is great.

Pat

You Are right! That was a deal! I bought 5 boxes of those jigs.

Mike Coelho does amazing work. He will custom paint your design. He is on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/coelhocustombaits/

I am a fun fisherman these days, no tournaments. I love to fish jigs and reaction baits. That said, lately I have been spending time learning new techniques. Basically I like to catch fish, and I have accepted the fact that sometimes jigs and reaction baits are not the most effective way. So lately ...

Pat

Before there were Co-Anglers there were Pro/Am events and before that there were Pro-Pro events where two pros fished from the same boat and split the day. These even extended to local events like the Redman series. I think there is certainly a place for Pro/Am on the local and regional levels. But ...

Pat

Thanks for sharing, nice video and some good fish, especially for Oroville. Gotta love a jig this time of year.
