Lipless and square bills on rock. Fishing was great and should only get better. Best 5 went 31# with a 8.15# kicker.

Got up for the weekend to The Cabin on Clearlake to enjoy a little time away, visits with family and friends, and of course a little time to throw at the water. A few others from our small community were getting their lines wet also. I did a lil fishing off of our pier and only fished the two adjacent piers but managed to pick up a nice one at 4.69#. Made me happy, probably my heaviest fish along this stretch for me this year, as its been a bit tough along here and there truly isn't much for structure besides the dock pilings. Not a very big fish but really well fed. Though my neighbor "Texas Rigged Mark" was getting a few on the neon green tailed worm as always, it was the Jerkbait once again that got it done for me. Its been my go to along here this year. The bell rang once on the nightcrawler setup for Catfish but we missed that one. Oh well. All in all it was a lot of fun for a few short hours on the beach with friends hanging out, tipping beers and tossing line off the community pier. Oh, how I love this lake.
