Clearlake, Saturday. 6/15

Wife and I went to Clearlake Saturday afternoon. Fished from 3 pm till dark. Kept 28 fish over 10", 4 fish over 14" s. Finally catching some big ones again. Fish still have some eggs. Same pattern first 7' of water from the bank. Minnows, 5 to 7 ft deep. The hotter the weather, the harder the wind blew, the better the fish bit. Gnats were bad every time the wind died. Bounce, vanilla, thermacell, and biological bug spray. No bites from the bugs. lol. Everyone fishing the banks except us.

WTG!!! very nice

Some of the fish were around brushpiles, some were around stumps, but most just seemed to be relating the bottom. the first 7' water out from the bank. get under 6' of water all we caught were dinks. get 8' or deeper all we caught were yellow bass.

Great Job and to do that with your wife is a blessing every time. Love clear lake had some good days on that lake myself.

The only clear lake that i know of is down in England but you guys might want to stay away since it's infested with drum, carp, grennel and the like. There's even a good chance you'll see bass boats toolin' around with bikinis on the front and back deck... definitely a good reason to leave it to the locals rotfl

Yea buddy saturday there was a family in a party barge cruising back and forth and a ski boat full of people that went swimming out in the middle of the lake. Clearlake isnt very wide the barge was giving the brim fishermen in the small boats fits.

We found a few on Clear on Sunday. Same method, bout six feet deep on the outer edges of brush piles, using minnows. We kept 25, no big uns, just keepers. Had to cull thru a lot of dinks.
