C-lake 2/4

 I still hadnt fully recovered from saturday and was content to go home from a long shift and sleep.
Then Naoaki decides he wants to go bassin and is leaving Davis at 10 and headed my way.
I was faltering at first, but the sun was out. Im easy that way.
Still finding fish on rocky points with steep ledges. imagine that.
Today was actaully warm enough so that my hands worked right.
Threw the senko a few times even though I know better, but its still fun. nothing
Its was noticed on saturday ,as well as today, that alot of the bass had red stained mouths.
I followed that observation up with a red/brown crawjig and worked it through areas that I know hold fish. nothing. 
Went to a deepdiving crankbait in pillings with surgical like precision, even impressing myself. nothing
Finally, a slow sinking swimbait in the appropriate flavor. nothing.

Luckily Naoaki and I did not go to RP/konocti bay without back up.
HAD A BLAST!
thank you Naoaki!
ill let him add to the report but here are some pictures.

Gotta love those chunky guys... I got to get up there. Nice ones guys...

Freddie

Terry those are some nice on the water shots of Naoaki.  I wish I had found the time to fish Clear Lake at least once when I was still in NorCal.

Looks like Naoaki just took the lead away from ChuckE.  I'm guessing that lead will last a whole five days.  Enjoy Naoaki!

    Ay Carumba!!!!

 That's a Mucho ChunKies Senor!!!!

WOW, whata great day on the water!!!
I almost wasn't gonna go because of the wind this morning...  I'm so glad that we did!
H2Ospider(Terry) was getting hook up left & right, one after another!   The fish are all very nice!  It was almost like spring time!  had great lunch break at Richmond park (awesome place) then we went back & got more fish!
He ended up 15 fish & I ended up 7 fish.
My last fish was probably the biggest LMB I ever got!
We gotta do this again and Thanks for the invite Terry & let me use the Sean's measuring board!!!

& videos...

WOW, some real hogs!!! Clear lake is really something. WTG guys.

Way to go guys! I wish I were there with you, but sometimes work gets in the way. Keep'em coming!

CHEERS!

Naoaki,

Nice little video and fish.
I can't believe you haven't posted to AOTY yet.  I'm telling you, your lead is fleeting so you better post soon.

By my calculation you have 162 for your sturgeon and 21.5*8=172 for your bass giving you a respectable two fish total of 334 pts.  Enjoy it now before ChuckE catches another fish.

Brian

Terry, Naoaki, BigLMB's with Food&Drinks on the water......what's not to be jealous about?
SWEET outing fellas and thanks for the envious documention!

sorry to make you jealous guys, but that was the one of those greatest fishing day ever!!!

and that TROUGH looks SWEET and TRUE! Way to show HOW TO MEASURE IT UP RIGHT!

The leader board change drew my attention to this report.

CONGRATS.... NAOAKI!...  You did have a great day of fishing.
Wow... those fish look like footballs.  Nice job getting those pics of the fish on the Hawg Trough.  Danglin, take notice.

I think Freddie is gasing up his Toyota truck and headed to Clear Lake right now.  Hmmm... I just might follow him.

He is, is he?      aWISEmanHEis!

Naoaki works as a fisheries biologist and is a member of the American Fisheries Society so I'd hope he'd get that right.  If not Jim "InSeine" Hobbs should fire him.

FYI ChuckE, you need a ~17" LMB to pass Naoaki at this point.  I think at Clear Lake that's considered a runt.
