Hit Rodman Slough about 5 in the afternoon. The water is dropping so that many of the productive spots for pitching BrushHogs are now too shallow, only 3,4 feet. Yet, I tried, and caught zero. So good thing I had my frog rod. Missed a couple of blowups early on but it got noticebly better at sundown. Still, many fish missed the hooks. One fish hit after I had pulled the frog out of the target zone and was just floating out in the open near my boat. I was busy reaching for my spits and couldn't set the hook. It's what keeps me coming back.
I've been looking/waiting for the midday frog bite. Years past it's been epic. Not so this year, even with the hot weather. But that's just me.
I've read reports that the south end near Redbud has been productive. I have a hard time getting myself over there, don't like the drive.
Fish-on!

Good for you guys. I'm jealous. Seas too big for me.

In a PB 2 miles straight out, zero wind, small swell, large fish, great bite. Used RSKs, and Hoochies with bait under the skirt. Ran downriggers at 80 to 100 feet.
8 fish, one #30, six at mid-teens, one #10. Lost another slab, some silvers.
Didn't get out till 2:00 PM.
It's 6:30 AM and I'm headed out the door for the Bragg!

... is still swimming in the lake.
Hit the lake for the afternoon/evening on tuesday (6/27). Launched at the casino between Lakeport and county park. They charge 10 bucks here. The short and skinny is that I had 7 blow-ups on the frog, and hooked none of them. I ended up with about a dozen fish to about 3 lbs, using Baby BrushHogs on a 1/4 oz head, pitched against the shoreline. Missed some nice fish, one broke off on the set. Solid fish!
The great thing about this lake is the possibility of a great fish.

Thanks for the report 'spider. Been meaning to go there on my way to Green, I mean Clear Lake. I might hit it tomorrow...
Hey, did you see bluegills? I've been having a ball using a #6 flyrod and poppers at L. Mendo but the PBs are too many now.

As usual Sean, good pics and report. I headed to Clear lake and only caught 3 crappie and had two blowups on a frog.
Fish on!

Hey Mickfish! Nice smallie pics, I appreciate them. I'd always heard of them in the Russian, but never actually saw one. Where's this at? Do you know of some decent drifts?
I fished the Russian on foot yesterday, the 'yak never made it off the truck. I fished for shad at Healdsburg, Guerneville, and Monte Rio. Not red hot but I did hook fish at each place.

Gordon,

 Which Hobie you got? The Quest?
Also interested in the Tourney but my 'yak is a sit-inside and I can't live-well my fish.
Can I fish the tourney in a pram that I row?
I'll check the link next.
