    Water Temp: 56-63

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Launched at 7:30 in the Keys. First dock ished stuck a nice 6-15lb on a black/blue jig with blue pork. Wind was up big time. Tried lto get on main body and was amazed...no big waves on lake...wind was swirling and gusting but not bad water. Went across Windmill Pt and headed down below Konocti to a little private beach and dock where we caught ish last week. Tried same water, 12 t shakin' worms...nothing. Went around docks on shallow gravel beach and I nailed 11 nice ish, 5-4, 4-4, 4-2, 3-9 plus a ew other 2 to 3lb ish and it was great. 24-2 limit. All ish taken on magic worm #39. Water on the shore was real rough and hard to hold boat. Fish were moving up and down beach in the rough water 59 degree water, 6 t deep and they shut down about 3 pm. My partner had trouble in the wind with the worm bite and didn't land any ish but he had a great time anyway, (or so he says). Be back again on thurs the 7th or another try.

    Report: Well it is almost that time, We have 7 members coming down to ish Clear Lake.We will be coming down March 3, we will be ishing 4th, 5th, and 6th. We are going to launching out o the State Park. From what I have read Ripping, Blades, Jigs, Brush Hogs areall good bets, but is there a better part o the Lake to ish in early March?

I have ordered a map o the lake and would like to get a game plan beore we arrive, any ino you guys would be willing to give us would be greatlyappreciated. I anyone wants to meet us at the lake eel ree, just look or the boats with Wa registrations.Thanks,Greg

    Water Temp: 48

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: I made a late aternoon-night trip by mysel midweek and ripped a 4-10 and 3-5 beore dark on Pointer minnows. Fished 4 hrs ater dark and caught 6 rom 3 to nearly 4 lbs. Did not get that big bite! Was using big zipper worms. Fished mostly on hwy 20 side, up to Glenhaven.Guided Sat aternoon during break in storms and caught 5 on Rodstrainer jigs in about 10-20 eet o water on rockpiles. Bass were aggressive! We ished 3 hrs, had a dinner break, then went out at night, but only lasted 2 hrs - blown and rained o the lake! Only 1 bite at night.
    City: Yuba City

    Tips: Could not get a ish to look at a jig midseek. On Sat, they loved them. Go igure!! I think stormy weather put ish down in jig territory since rip bite did not happen ater rain stopped on Sat. With this active weather we are experiencing, don't be araid to try several patterns. And Clear lake is coming up ast!

Pretty good. but anyway there's this great website that actually pays you 50 cents every hour that you are actively suring the internet, and it's called alladvantage.com It's really easy to use and I guarentee there is no catch, even look or yoursel. just ollow the directions at the website. I you do decide to sign up type in this id# EWC-804 this is how you can earn a little extra money.

    Water Temp: 47-50

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Water clarity varied around the lake. Some areas were muddy while others were airly clear. Fished the south end around Jago bay landing a 1 and 4.5 pounder. Fish came on crank baits in about 10'. Talked with others at the dock and they're still catching ish on jumbo minnows in 20-25'.
    City: Rohnert Park

    Tips: Look or the clearer water. Stick with reaction baits, cranks down to 10-15'around docks or get some minnows and go deep.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Wow what a day!! The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. There were 3-4 t swells out there. Isn't it unny, you couldn't pay me $100 to go into my own backyard and work on a rainy day. But when it comes to ishing... well that's just dierent.The ishing was just as tough as the weather. We managed two ish, one on a jig and the other on a worm. Both caught about 8t., one in stained and one in clear water.The interesting thing about Clear Lake is one part o the lake can be semi-calm while another part can seem like the Paciic Ocean and getting to calm waters can be a rough ride.
    City: Windsor

    Tips: I've had some o the best ishing in rain. But when it's raining and windy, you might want to do what the Bass are doing... just stay hunkered somewhere comortable.

    Report: Fishing was good. I caught 7 ish or 5 1/2 lbs. My ishing buddy caught 5 or 2 1/2 lbs. He had a tough day and struggled to keep his ish on the line. Maybe its the drinking? Maybe he's just inerior! The bite was good in the morning, stopped at 11am when the wind picked up and then started up again at 3:30pm.
