Winter is coming really fast, hopefully we get another rainy season for California. Good to hear the lake is getting back to normal for once after this crazy year. Thanks Ross!

Always look forward to your reports. It's interesting seeing how different the lake fishes for my comrades. It's not easy putting out a weekly report. Thank you for your efforts.

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Thanks Bob. Kind of wish I hadn’t got talked in to it but too late now! The hardest part for me is that I don’t get much info from guys other than the ones I run in to on the lake. If I have hard days my report is going to reflect it. My version of a good day and what’s a big fish is way different from a lot of folks. So I try to keep it on track with the “average” guy out here. Keep up the good work and glad you got the boat back.

Hey Ross, thanks for the report. I am at lake for a few days. Yes! It is beautiful, nights a bit chilly but nice days. I had forgotten how wildlife was so plentiful.

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Hope you have a good time Bruce.

Thanks Ross

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Sure thing Jeff.

[@s_bt_iwtf]

Man, it'd be great to know which Clear Lake you're at. It's a big country.

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Hey Swift sorry about that. We are bass fishermen and to us there is only one Clear Lake. Unfortunately it is in California, at least it’s Northern California!

[@s_bt_iwtf]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

[@dr.williamharris7777]

Hello. Is the crappie biting?

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Hey there Dr Bill. None reported or seen.

[@dr.williamharris7777]

@@clearlakeguideservice2509 Thanks. When do they usually bite again?

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

@@dr.williamharris7777 kind of depends on weather impacting water temperature. I’ve seen it going by Thanksgiving when all the stars line up.

[@Tasteslikethecolor9]

I’ve been doing pretty decent up by Nice throwing a jig, or a shaky head for fish I know are there but won’t bite. The water clarity has gotten terrible up here in the last week. It’s tannic brown and maybe a foot.

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Awesome! I’ve seen that water color starting to change, hope it doesn’t get much worse over there.

[@starchaser2489]

Years ago I put a underwater camera on a bamboo pole to watch them while trolling. They hide like people in windows watching you going by, 🐟🐟🐟🐟 I know the laws about "Jugging in California", Would Bobbering be the same?

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

Pretty much. By state law you are supposed to be within easy reach of your rod (line).

[@starchaser2489]

THX, had this question to friend.@@clearlakeguideservice2509

[@BR-lp6rf]

I wish “a pull is a pull” was true for me. I can’t stand catching cats/crappie or anything other than bass. Cursed I guess. It’s no reward at all when you’re targeting bass. Now if I was starving and needed to feed the fam…. Haha. We were there all last week and struggled to catch 10 a day. Junk fishing. Solid fish, but no “clear lake piles” like normal. Did see lots of this years spawn so fingers crossed for the future

[@clearlakeguideservice2509]

I understand. Your results sound like mine.
