Delta and Clear Lake Fishing Report needed

Kbeever · Post by **Kbeever** » Sun May 04, 2008 6:19 pm

Hello Gentlemen,

I am going to be heading up from SoCal to Redding to see my dad and was going to stop at the Delta and Clear Lake for a couple days each.

Can you either post or pm me on fishing conditions on both and what/where the better fish are biting, and are the fish spawn/post spawn.

I am familiar with both bodies of water and have fished them several times, but only have a couple days at each, your help would give me a head start to catching fish.

Thanks.

Keith

Fish are Bustin Loose all over -- Cooch and I prolly had 20 -25 fish boated today on Senko's ~ with alot of missed bites. #31 won todays ABA Delta.

Sorry I can not help you with CL -- StockOption fished there today and had a decent day for 16+. -- I think we at leasted topped him from the Delta today.

(Reader's Disclaimer --- I just want to make CLEAR -- I am in no way, shape or form promoting a CL Vs. Delta Thread ~!!

I got into a decent bite today on the pond.

Caught fish using a variety of techniques and had my best bites where the water was stained a bit more.

I got into a decent spinnerbait (Chartreuse/White) bite mid-day targeting shoreline shade pockets. Best 5 today went just over 16lbs with my largest, a 5-9, taken drop shotting a MMIII on 4lb test (what a blast!!!).

I believe we have pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn fish working now. Things are definitely starting to heat up.

And Dan is right no need for a Delta vs Clear Lake battle, the pond wins hands down

Yeah, somebody told Dan he had to put a hook in it to get it to work..I think we ought to beat the man that did with a wet noodle..About 100 lashes should bring him to his knees..

Keith,
Me and my buddy Mark were on the Delta yesterday and it was a bit tougher for us than many of those Delta ABA pros. Although we didn't get there until about 8:30am and missed the first light bite.

Senko appears the way to go. And I got a couple decent ones on a jig. I chucked a Mission Fish for a long time with no interest. Tried the frog and either I am too early in the season or the temp wasn't right or tides or something, because that didn't work.

A beautiful day out there. The wind did kick up around 3pm, but it was manageable. Tules on the incoming. East/Central Delta.
