Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Fished with a guide Friday and saturday. Caught a total o 0, nada, goose egg!!! Talked with a dozen other guides and locals on the water and they had caught the same. We tried every bait in the tackle box including minnows and got maybe a hal a dozen light taps. I have been here beore with the same guide and kicked butt so I don't know what the heck is going on. Maybe it is all the spraying and other crap in the water. Overall, the lake seemed very unhealthy and had an eery undertone to it. Maybe I will try again in the Fall.
City: san joseTips: Wait till Fall to go, nothing is biting. That is the truth not like some o the other posts I have read in the past.

Report: Decided to head out around 5pm on Friday, Amador has been bad to me lately so I igured I would let Clear Lake have a go. Hit the water at 10:30pm and started at Shag Rock, right around the corner where the houses start. Hit a 3lb'er right o the bat on a 11" black power worm. Went into that shallow marina and hit one about 3lbs. Worked my way back and on the way out and hit a solid ish in the same spot the 3 came rom. This ish broke o at the boat, sure hate it when you muscle a ish and that happens. Estimate that ish would have been in the 7-8 lb range. Buddy was jazzed about the catish action so we tied to a bouy and caught 7 cats, 3 were in the 4lb range. Around 5:30 we head over to Rattlesnake and begin throwing buzzbaits. First ish was a solid 6lbs, right on a little tule point this ish just hammered it. 30 yards later I stick a 4lb ish and then ollow it up with a dink. Had one other blow up rom a solid 7+ ish but missed it. All o the ish were located in the 1-5' range. To bad I have plans the next ew weekends or I would be right out here giving it another go.
City: San JoseTips: Buzzbait action only lasted about 45 minutes o irst light. 2 Fish on 11" black power worms, missed big ish on a black/blue senko, 3 on a white buzz. Not quantity but quality. Good luck out there!

Report: Hey Larry I'm no expert by any means but I believe the ticket to the big ish was junebug brushogs. My riend Steve and my son Shane went out three dierent nights and did really well. My son got most o the ish dragging the brushhog behind the boat. I got the biggest ish pitching to the bank along with Steve. Tried jigs and 10inch power worms and could not get anything going with them. Junebug senko also got us some ish. We ished Buckingham area or a little while pitching between docks with grass. I got most o these ish with senkos. Then when it got too dark we would make the move to Konocti because the grass was to hard to see I was becoming known as the trolling motor cleaner instead o the isherman. I've watched you ish with your clients at night time rom above at the bar. Constantly hooking up in that area. So in we went with brushhogs and senkos. The people above were applauding everytime we hooked up especially or my son. He took the money every night. Then made the move to Fraiser Point the only one that hooked up was my son ishing deeper with brushhogs. As we went down around the corner mysel and Steve started to connect on some nice ish shallow with brushhogs. Every ish came right towards us. Lots o pressure bites. Its amazing how these big ish are so graceul in picking up a brushhog without you knowing it. Every thing in this area was between docks with a combination o rock, walls and a little bit o grass. Tried the Buckingham marina with no luck. Then make the inal move towards Henderson. Not a lot o action here but the ones we did get were good ish including my 8lb one night. Stuck an 8 at Konocti one night and stuck another 8 around the corner rom Frasier Point on my last night. All ish were between 3-8lbs. I used the Power Pro line in the yellow color(50lbtest) and I'm telling ya this is the way to go or me. I don't care how many times I have to check or raying. Its a huge advantage against the ish. Its adios or P-line and hello Power Pro. I'll only use P-line on my cranking stick. I believe in making longer casts so you don't spook them. You don't have a hooksetting problem with this Power Pro stu. Like I said at the beginning o this marathon report I'm no expert, but I do know some things. Had no trouble seeing the line with the black light. I could go on and on but everybody is probably wondering when is this guy gonna shut up and end this thing. I think now would be a good time. Good ishing.
City: PetalumaTips: Junebug brushhogs(big) and 5" senkos in junebug also. You guys have to start trying this Power Pro stu with brushhogs,senkos and jigs. Everything came between docks and rockpiles. Topwater might work, but never got around to it since we had something going and didn't want to jinx our luck. Also lots o smelly jelly.

Report: I have been down to Clear lake the last our o my weekends (mon-tues) mostly concentrating on the night bite. The ishing has been consistent and slowly improving. We have been averaging 6-9 ish in the boat every dusk 'till dawn trip with quite a ew lost ish and missed bites unortunately. Lots o solid 4lbers and a ew 5-6.5's as well. I did manage to land a skinny 9lb 2oz bass while ishing one night with a local o his namesake rock. A couple o big catish have kept us on our toes as well. The crack o dawn bite has been the most consistent or less than hal an hour, had one big ish jump o a crankbait on tues morning. The worm and jig bite has been best or us with a ew on spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Rockpiles and steep rocky banks have been the best bet. We had a ew rog and topwater ish in the evening and late morning but not much. The south end around Rattlesnake is getting really nasty already this year. Many locals attribute it to the weed spraying that is going. The weed beds are stringy and the algae has all turned into brown and white mess. That end will be disgusting by late August i this keeps up.
City: ArcataTips: The state agency responsible seems to be spraying wherever they ind weeds not just hydrilla areas or around residential zones. A lot o the good shallow habitat is being destroyed. I hope all the dying weeds doesn't case a ish kill.

Report: I took two riends or a trip to Clear Lake over this past Thursday through Sunday. Had only been to CL once in the past and spent three days careully avoiding all bass in the lake. Hadn't planned on going back, but the lore o the big ish and classic terrain was just too much to resist. One guy actually lew out rom Maine just or this trip. We had the time o our lives. On the irst day, I landed a 4, a 5 and a 7. All on Senkos (208). The 4 irst thing in the a.m. and the biggest two in Soda Bay at dusk. My partners didn't do too well the irst day, but the next day we went out with a guide, Dave Majestic. Can't say enough about Dave. Great guy, great guide. Turned my buddy onto pitching the senkos into the tule pockets. He pulled ive, biggest going to 4 lbs. He took a lot o time with us, over what he was paid or. Gave us advice over the phone beore we ever came up and we hadn't even given him a deposit. That advice is what helped to land the big ish beore we ever met up with him.Special thanks to Dave and also to Larry Hemphill. I've been reading his reports on this site or months anticipating this trip. Everything we read here really helped turn this trip into a great experience or all and both partners want to make it an annual event. Given the nine hour drive or two o us and the light rom Maine or the third, that says a lot.
City: Stevenson RanchTips: The wind really died o completely ater the irst day and the hot calm conditions cleared the water up and seemed to push the ish out o the tules and into deeper water. I decided to ish the edges o the shoals coming out o long tule stretches and picked up several nice ish the last morning. 90% o the people we saw ishing were still pounding the banks - don't be araid to get out in the deeper water though. I was watching dozens o cruisers at 7-9 eet. Senko 208's were THE ticket all throughout the trip. Even ished deep over the drop os, they worked great.

Report: Fished Clear Lake a couple o days or the BFL. Ran all over the lake looking or bed ish on Friday. There are still quite a ew ish on beds, but many were diicult to catch. Could not ind a reaction bite so stuck to bed ishing and Senkos or the tournament Saturday. Caught 1 o bed, 1 on jig, and 2 on Senkos during the tournament or only 10 pounds 2 ounces. Lost another good one about 5# on a Senko and broke the same bed ish o twice which my non boater ended up catching. Spawn seems to be tailing o and the post spawn ish are starting to bite again. Fish were moving to the rocky banks and suspending under docks in the aternoon. Saw some great ish on the steeper rocky banks with tules and weeds, but could not igure out how to catch them. Some coves have been trashed by the spawning carp they are very murky and did not seem to hold many bass.
City: BrentwoodTips: Best bet was the Smoke Silver Senko ished under docks.

Report: Well, most people have rags to riches stories, but mine is the opposite. I had a trip with two great guys Thursday rom 6 pm to 2 am. Each o us caught a nice bass beore dark, and then these ellows went on a tear ater dark. We caught 10 ater dark, with the best bite rom 10:30 to 1 am. The client who I thought said he wasn't as experienced had a banner night, with 5 bass or around 24 lbs - including a spawned-out 9 pounder, and a soon-to-nest 6-7. When I netted the 9 or him, I thought we had Barracuda in Clear Lake - that's how skinny it was!! I told him that he could call it his "post-10"!! The other clients big ish was 5-1, and I think he caught 4 bass. We were at 29+ pounds or our ive biggest, and that looked to be it, since the bite really slowed down. I was able to end the trip with a 5-6 that slammed a Weapon Jig, and that gave us 13 bass total, and a 30 lb 12 oz limit. The lake was dead calm and the evening was airly warm. Since the moon was bright, I had my clients Texas rigging a big, ugly, black/chartreuse worm that Magic worms makes or me. It was the ticket, out producing all other baits. One o our best areas was the Knoncti children's summer camp area and the wall just north o it, just beore you get to the resort. The ish were aggressive - many striking hard. Most ish were very shallow, many right on the bank. The next two nights were a dierent story. I knew a cooling trend was coming, and it did!! I always eel so sorry or clients that have to experience those howling winds. It was dead calm until 2 hours beore our Fri night trip. Anyway, the husband did catch the irst top-water ish o the year in my boat on a Storm Chug-Bug. They missed a couple, and in what little ishing I did, I landed a 6-2, 4-1, and a 3 1/2, all on Berkley Power hogs. The hot bait rom the previous night was stone cold!! Neither o them had done much ishing in heavy wind. Saturday was a beautiul day, as all you tournament ishermen know, and I thought the night would be a repeat o Thursday night - wrong. The water temp had dropped about 3 degrees by midnight - the wind blew again, and the bass completely shut o. It was hard to believe! My client caught a 2 3/4 and a 4, beore dark, on 6" Zoom lizards and I caught a 5-10 on a Weapon Jig on a rockpile ater dark, and that was it. One bite - one ish. He had one little tap ater dark. That was probably the biggest slow-down in night ishing I've seen in years. The bass will eed whenever it is the warmest - and Fri and Sat night didn't cut it. And that's the way it was!!!
City: Yuba CityTips: I love black/chartreuse worms during the bright moon periods. That combo seems to work in every lake I night ish. Black/Chartreuse Weapon jigs with chartreuse or smoke sparkle grubs work very well or me in bright nights. As I mentioned in that survey about big Clear Lake bass, many o my 12's, and all my bass over 13 lbs have been caught on black/chartreuse worms - 6 and 7 inch. Those are wise 'ol ish that don't make many mistakes - even at night. Try 'em, you'll like 'em!

City: San LeandroTips: Most o the ish have spawned out in the keys, but a new batch should be movong in shortly, to bad I won't be there to greet them.
