Well folks. We headed up to Clear Lake Wednesday morning. Fishing with two fellow stagers, NoCal Steve, George(the bus) and our friend Mark. Two boats. We were on the water at sunrise on Wednesday morning. Lake was like glass and the weather was hot. We fished hard all day, into sunset. Caught a total of eight LMB for the day, biggest, a 4 pounder. We were concentrating on all our known spots that proved productive in the past. We threw everything at them, sinkos, Ned rigs, chatterbaits , swim baits etc. the four pounder was fooled on a rattletrap. Day two..back on the water at sunrise. Once again, same techniques and various spots. Ended with only eight bass for the day, with Steve catching the biggest bass for the trip, a five pounder. While working a sinko I had a major hit, though I had a monster LMB on the the line. After fighting the fish for several minutes it was obvious that it was not a bass. After another ten minutes of fighting this fish we finally got it to the net. It was a 22pound catfish. What a fight! Yes, it was not a bass, but the fight getting the fish to the net made my trip! Gonna put the LMB gear away until spring and concentrate on the stripers in the delta. No matter the results, it’s still great fishing with fellow stagers! Tight lines my friends!

Nicely done and thanks for the share! Good to see old clear lake still producing. Thought the M and G might have caught em all!
