      Report: I ished the irst evening and had a good outing. When the breeze was blowing I would throw a spinnerbait. When it was still I would use Senkos , lip or use a crankbait. Most the ish came on blades but the biggest on the crankbait. Hard ishing the next couple o days, but enjoyed mysel just the same.

      Water Temp: 56 degrees

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: I herd the ish at clear lake were big but I had no Ideal. I put in at ith street at 7:00 AM and ished North toward rocky point. I was throwing watermellon and red lake Senkos hitting all the patches and docks. At 8:00 I hooked in to what I thought was the bottom o a dock and low and behold it was a pig. I ought with her or what seemed like 10 minutes. Worried I might loose her I horsed her in and just when everything looked good I blew the net and it dove under the boat. Oh %$#@ I said carully I worked her up or another grab and landed her a wopping 8 LB. I Know they get much bigger but it was the biggest large mouth I ever hooked. The rest o the day I spent up at the brige and we hooked two more three pounders and a 1.5. The ishing was very slow and the temp was cold you had to work or yor catch. We got o the water at 5:00 PM.
      City: Petaluma

      Tips: It may be spring but its still cold. the bite is slow best results is dead sticking. (Senkos are a sure bet) no luck with brush hogs, craws, or cranks.

      Report: Had an opportunity to get out this aternoon and with the weather looking like it wanted to clear, I headed out. Wanted to try up the north so I put in at peninsula campground about 3:45pm. It was partly cloudy with a bit o a breeze. I put my boat in, tied it to the dock and beore I could park my truck, a MEAN wind and hail squal came through blowing at least 30+mph. Suddenly the lake was white with 3 oot whitecaps. With breakers coming over the stern o my boat, I pulled out and sat in the parking lot to see what happened next. As quickly as it had come, it was gone. I put back in 15 mins. later and shot directly across the lake to dead slik water. all o this and last couple o days o nasty weather didn't seem to eect the bite much. Same old story, just a little deeper. Fish seemed to be suspended in trees and around rockpiles in 10 to 20 t. Caught 7 spots to 2 1/2 lbs. and a couple o smallies (one nice) Mostly senko ish. 1 grub, 1 spinnerbait. Best bite was just beore dark.
