March 12-13, 2011 Clear Lake

Posted by Rus Snyders on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, In : Clear Lake 


Fished the Holder Ford Tourny at Clear Lake with Chris Z.  Took 27th place out of 155 boats.
First day we stayed north and fished the mouths of sloughs with ripbaits, Dry Creek Tubes and LV500's.  We weighed 24.9 lbs and caught around 15 bass that day.
Next day we caught a couple fish in the spots from the day before, and also flipped one on a jig in the keys, caught one on a ripbait in Konocti Bay, and flipped a few in Rodman Slough with a Brush Hog and a jig.  Ended up catching 18.5 lbs that ...

Despite the freezing temperatures, the bass fishing at Lake Sonoma was surprisingly really good.  I was supposed to head up to Clear Lake to do some filming on Friday, but Hwy 29 was closed because of nearly a foot of snow on the summit from the previous day.  Luckily my buddy Hank was able to get a “sick day” from work, so he met me at Lake Sonoma at around 10:30 am.  We were in between storms, the sky was clear, there was a light south wind, and you could still see last nights full moon...

Good day on the Delta for stripers.  20 fish mostly 3-5 pounders, but one that went 15 pounds, caught on a Lunker Punker.  Ripbaits and hair jigs also worked well.  Big Break, Sherman Island, and San Juaquin River all produced fish.

Sunday morning I arrive at the ramp, and find there is an ABA tournament going on.  We wait for the 30 boats to launch, and then take off.  It’s been warm and sunny all week, but the water temp on the main lake is still in the upper 50’s.  The back of Dry Creek was our first stop.  We start off throwing Brush Hogs, jigs and drop shots on a deeper rocky ledge that was near a spawning flat.  The fish were schooled up there pretty good.  We worked the area for two hours and caught 9 bass, ...

Wednesday was brutally cold.  The rain was coming down pretty hard on the drive up, but at 8am when we launched the sun popped out, for a few hours anyway.  With frozen hands we made our way from Lakeport to the Clear Lake State Park.  We begin by throwing ripbaits (Lucky Craft 128 Pointer), and swimbaits (Osprey and Basstrix).  We cover water quickly and make sure not to waist to much time in one spot.  The water color and temperature would fluctuate drastically in the matter of 100 yards.  ...

We launched the boat at the Clear Lake Oaks at around 6:45.  Because of all the storms we’ve had these past few weeks, the lake has come up several feet.  Surprisingly the water in the lower part of the Rattlesnake Arm is still quite clear (3 feet).  Up north though I hear it’s much dirtier.  We started off throwing tubes and shakey heads on some of the rock piles just outside the keys, and around Rattlesnake Island.  We bounced around from one rock pile to the next, and noticed that a fe...
