 Launched out of San Rafael with my buddy Steve and his new 13' Whaler. Weather was hot with a light breeze at times. Started off with a low tide at sunrise. Had a 8-10 pounder hit a topwater five times but didn't hook up. Switched to hair jigs and fish traps and caught 15 or so fish, 6 or 7 keeper sized (18"). Steve caught the largest, around 6 pounds. Stayed close by and fished the Marin Islands, Brickyard, Sisters Islands, and China Camp. Continue reading ...

Caught about a dozen bass up to 6.5 pounds. Flipping tules and punching mats worked best. Also found a few bed fish. Our largest 5 went around 23 pounds.   Continue reading ...
Started down south, but ended up catching all the fish, 9 or 10, near Franks Tract between noon and 5pm. Jigs, Senkos, topwater and crankbaits caught all the bass. Missed a nice one on a Lunker Punker. The largest was just over 4 pounds. Focused on the flats near deep water and current.   Continue reading ...

We launch out of Red Bud Park, at the south end of Clear
Lake, at around 9 am. The water is
much clearer compared to last week, with the algae bloom being a little less
intense. We start off fishing jigs
shallow on rocky banks in Jago Bay.
By 10 am we each get a couple bass, but nothing larger than 2.5 pounds.
We then fish some deeper rock (10-20) around Wheeler, Gooseneck, and Frasier
Points. We caught a few more bass

Topwater baits caught a few nice bass today. A 5.5 on a Reaction Innovations Vixen, and a couple 4's on a Lunker Punker. There was a hard north wind blowing, so we fished the area between Konocti Resort and Buckingham Point. Mostly just a big flat with docks and scattered deep weed beds. Tubes and jigs also caught a few fish on the rockpiles, but almost all the good ones that were protected from the wind had a boat on them.  Continue reading ...
