Super User Darth-Baiter Posted September 4, 2022 Super User Posted September 4, 2022 haha..brutal. SKUNKED!! it was hot and windy. much more wind than predicted. the grass is fading/dying off. Baitfish. they call them "silver-sides". looks like a type of shad to me. there are BILLIONS of them. when my bait hit the water the bait fish would splash out in response. moving my kayak thru the water and they would swarm out in front of me like a bunch of mini dolphins running in front of a tour boat. (you all have seen that video). I couldn't figure out ANY pattern. strangely enough, despite the holiday weekend; the lake appeared abandoned. I counted 6 bass boats and only a few wake boats. I talked to as many folks as I can..we all had a big question mark floating over our heads. I came home and grilled a steak. glass of wine. my lake choice for the day was not the best decision. haha..still had a fun. not mad about it at all. 3 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 6, 2022 Global Moderator Posted September 6, 2022 I just saw Blanchard posted a video titled something like "What Happened to Clear Lake, Ca?" Haven't watched it yet but the title makes it sound like something bad. Quote

Good news is when the bite picks up the fish should be tanks from all those minnows. 1 Quote
