We've been quite warm and a bit windy in the afternoons. The early morning bite has been great, mid-morning bite has been reasonably good. By mid day, it has been a bit too windy to fish. Our daytime highs are in the upper 80's and low 90's. The water temp has hit 70 degrees. Here are the details?Ķ
The bass are biting well on nearly everything at first light. That bite tapers off into a finesse bite as the day wears on. Minnows are scoring big for numbers of fish caught. Anglers are seeing lots of "clone" bass, pound or pound and a half bass that is. Bigger, post-spawn, fish are coming from nearby drop-offs and ledges. The weed beds are starting to come on strong and a few anglers have told me that they are picking up a few fish where the weeds drop off into clear water.
Crappie and bluegill are being caught now at docks around the lake. (FINALLY!) A caller from Lakeport reported a consistent bite ??? not high numbers of fish, but a steady bite. I just got off the phone with Ken over at Indian Beach Resort in Glenhaven. They're doing exceptionally well on crappie from about 8:30 at night and right on into the later hours. Jago Bay is seeing some action, too. Chartreuse, White or S&P Fin-S or Panfish Assassin jigs are tops for artificial lures.
Catfish are cooperating for most anglers looking for them. Typical baits (nightcrawlers, minnows, mackerel, anchovies, clams, livers, and a very limited supply of shad) are working. Shore anglers and boaters are finding best success at night but some nice cats are coming during the middle of the day, too.
The good folks over at the Sunset Fishing Resort here in Clearlake are hosting their first Annual Youth Fishing Derby on Saturday, June 21, 2008 from 8am to 5pm. The derby is open to all kids ages 8 ??? 12. Entry is FREE. A parent or guardian must accompany children entered in the event. Each registered child will be offered a voucher for FREE bait at Lakeshore Bait & Tackle. Additional bait will be available for purchase at the resort. There will be drawing tickets for sale. All proceeds from this event are to benefit the Lake County Youth Club for facility rehabilitation. Please call the Sunset Fishing Resort at 707.994.6642 or email dgsunset@mchsi.com for more information.

Clear Lake Fish Report 06-06-2008
Clear LakeThe bite report is as frustrating as the wind these days?Ķ How does one describe things? Topsy-turvy is one way. Tough is another. Whether the fishing is good or bad, we may not be able to tell as the wind has been howling for several days now and the lake looks like someone turned the wave machine on. I'm hoping that with the changing weather conditions forecast for the weekend, the wind will lay down and the fishing will pick...... Read More
Clear Lake Fish Report
Clear LakeFishing this week could be described as mediocre at best. Some folks are catching a few fish, but many are having a difficult time. We've seen cooler weather all week. The bass bite has followed suit and cooled off too. It's hard to believe it, but I found 39 degrees passing through Lower Lake on my way to work the last two days (5:45 am). The day temps have topped out around 68 ??? 70 degrees and the water temp...... Read More
