Headed to Clearlake Saturday. my expectations are limited.

been tough all summer.  then it died for the fall.

not sure what is happening now that we have had some cold weeks.  water should be way way cooler. 

i will be focused on moving baits, i think.  deep diving cranks etc.  i'll float my kayak over some deeper waters.

Good luck Hobious. Keep us posted on your progress.

I wouldn't suspect it's gotten that cold. It's been years, but in November and December we could still catch them in the shallows pitching jigs and plastics to the tules. Might even catch a giant with a swim bait. However there are fish that live year round in the deep water. If you have electronics to tell you where the shad are, that's the most important.

hahah. total drizzle so I kept my face mask down and ended up burning my face it protected from the sun all summer.  damn.

oh and I got skunked.  rain came down at noon and I pulled the plug.  I did hook fish.  tiny minnows (silversides) would get caught in my jerk bait hooks.  I would skewer them ripping my jerk bait.
