bassguy2004 I have fished Clear Lake a time or two and I loved it

The only problem I had was I caught more Turtles than I did bass

It is a big joke for Mike every time he gets the chance to jab me with it

but hey I guess we all have a few of those experiences...

Lipripper · October 20, 2004, 01:51:28 PM

Turtles huh Mother nature I see that's something else you and Fisher Mom have in commen

bassguy2004 · October 20, 2004, 02:06:23 PM

Laurie, if I were you I'd stop fishing for turtles.

Bass are more exciting to catch, besides this site isn't ULTIMATE TURTLE!!

Just kidding. This is probably one of the best sites I've been to.

MotherNature · October 20, 2004, 03:13:01 PM

Thanks bassguy I am glad you are enjoying it and we ty to keep it growing day by day so look for new articles and things to show up soon in fact some today

Oh and the turtle thing... well that was by accident but let me tell you I had a hard time catchin bass on Clear Lake and the turtles that I did catch well lets just say that they don't just come to the boat willingly

Laurie

Mike Cork · October 20, 2004, 06:19:16 PM

Yes a turtle on a plastic worm, must have been a hungry bugger......

Bassguy2004 what town are you in. We were in Marysville / Yuba City for 7 years.... Loved getting over to Clear Lake but called Oriville home and spent most of our time there.

bassguy2004 · October 20, 2004, 08:25:29 PM

Mike, I live in Santa Rosa. It used to be a town but it's now 154,000 people. I think it qualifies as a city. We also have a new lake here. New as of 1985, Lake Sonoma. Nice size largemouths and also some quality smallies. It's about 2,700 acres. Max pool I believe is right around 450. I'd call it a highland impoundment. It has standing timber and submerged brush piles. Humps and bumps and lots of points, and deep points too. It's alot like Lake Berryessa in a way.

Mike Cork · October 20, 2004, 09:19:04 PM

I know where Santa Rosa is thats pretty cool. I have heard about Lake Sonoma and fished Berryessa a couple times.

BMiles · October 22, 2004, 05:21:26 AM

Originally from Georgia but have made Florida my home for the past 27 years.

Bayou Dianne~ · October 24, 2004, 09:59:20 PM

Thanks for the greeting Mike. Hello Laurie~!! I'm from Southeast Louisiana, born & raised. Grew up at the mouth of the Mississippi River and now live on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. I see more Louisiana people here than on any fishing sight I go to. Nice to see ya'll. Dianne~

MotherNature · October 24, 2004, 10:03:19 PM

Dianne we have all become kind of family around here and if you stick around you will become the newest member of the family.

Dont worry WA will pick up it is just a matter of getting the word out there

Mike Cork · October 24, 2004, 10:21:52 PM

Dianne, welcome to the forum. We have a couple folks in your neck of the woods and one that is from real close to you that is now up here in northern part of the state. We will be move to with an hour or so of you in the spring, maybe you could teach us some thing about the Red Fish fishing?

Lipripper · October 24, 2004, 10:37:33 PM

HowDe and welcome to the BB Dianna~ from way up here in Illinois and you will find that like Laurie said we are like family around here

So we hope to see ya around here some more and welcome to the Family and ya'll come back now ya'll hear

Bayou Dianne~ · October 25, 2004, 10:30:49 PM

Sure looks like Southern hospitality to me. Thanks for the warm welcome. Just got a call today that a very close friend died suddenly, so I'll be busy the rest of this week. But, I'll be back and I'll try to bring a friend or three with me. As for Red Fish: I can tell you better how to cook them than to catch them~!! They are great. Dianne~

P.S. Thanks for the Spell Checker~!!!!!

Mike Cork · October 25, 2004, 10:35:27 PM

Bayou Dianne,

We are very sorry to hear about you and yours misfutune. We will say a prayer and keep you in our thoughts please be safe in your travels. We will be looking forward to posting with you when you get back.

I have a buddy down that way that says he can teach us how to catch them and then you can teach us how to cook them

Laurie and I will be the middle men doing all the catching

Sounds like a good plan to me

Becareful and god bless
Mike

MotherNature · October 25, 2004, 10:36:27 PM

Sorry to hear about your lose, our thoughts will be with you and the family. It seems as the board and our little family grows this in one thing that we never get used to. My heart goes out to all that have suffered the lose of a loved one I know how hard it can be. $:{_$

Mother Nature

Mike Noble · October 26, 2004, 07:22:44 AM

Sorry to hear about your loss Dianne. I know how it can be.

Bayou Dianne~ · October 26, 2004, 09:46:09 AM

Thanks for the prayers. Our friend Mal lives here, so we won't be traveling. His sister is coming in today from Long Island, NY. He was at work at an auction yesterday and went outside for a smoke; didn't come back. They found him dead on the sidewalk outside. (I opened my email yesterday and had another joke from Mal.)

Today is his 64th birthday. He was one of those people that EVERYONE loved. He helped anyone with anything anytime. He will really be missed by the whole community.

My dad always said that the hardest part about getting older was watching all your friends die. I'm beginning to understand that statement. Dianne~

Lipripper · October 26, 2004, 09:55:57 AM

Dianne I was also sorry to hear about your loss and our prayers will for sure go out to you and the family. This BB does become like a family and we are allways here to unload on anytime you need to.
