Got to the lake around 8:30am.  A little chilly but no wind so the water is glass like.  The water level is very high which flooded the boat ramp about 3ft.  Tried to hail anyone on CH69 but no reply.  Trolling with live bait toward Crappie Cove but no hookup.  Saw lots of fishes on FF suspended around 30ft but no love.  Paddled to the North to checkout the cove but no bite.  Saw 1 power boat on the North end but no kayaks!   Throw out the new surface lure around the bend but nada.  Feel sooo lonely so start to head back to the ramp in early afternoon.  I guess the fishes are not hungry today!

Just a few more pictures at Mendo Lake:


Morning fog:



Afternoon sunshine:


Mooch and his catch:

Got to the water around 9am and met Pelican at the launch, we went to the cove at the North and spent most of the day trolling and looking for boil.  Got a couple strikes but no hook-up!  Later in the afternoon, we paddled to the South cove and met Guitarzan, Mooch, and Marmite heading in since they got their limits.  Saw lots of bait fish and stripers on the FF but no takers today.  I wanted to fish until dark but the it started to rain so we decided to head in.  I really enjoy fishing here at Mendo lake and glad to meet new friends from NCKA and looking forward to another trip

Wow, those trouts need to be on a diet!    Thanks for the report & pictures.

Got to the lake around 2pm,  launched from the North ramp and paddled to the spot which we saw the "boils" a couple weeks ago.  The new fish finder is working great!  Saw lots of bait fish and a few big ones chasing after them on the FF but no boil at all.  Continue trolling the cove and along the East shore and looking for boils but nada 
The sunset was spectacular and the full moon was beautiful!  Wish I don't have to work tomorrow so I can spent more time fishing at night here.  No fish caught for this afternoon (Sean and his friends "scared" all the fish in the morning)  but the scenery was well worth it!  I'll post some pictures later.

If you can make it, would you let me know by tomorrow afternoon?  I'll check this forum tomorrow for your reply.

Just got my fish finder.  Will install it tomorrow and would like to test it out at Lake Mendo on Sunday.  Anyone interested in joining me?  I plan to be there in early afternoon (around 2:00pm) and fish until dark!

I live in the area, let me know if you want to hook-up this weekend for some "scouting"
