Has any one been out to Clearo lately?
How low is the water?
What color is the water/visibility?
Are their any hot lures working?

Any help would be appreciated. :-)

No i am not gang related but i did do a "drive by" :)calero last saturday,from the road i could tell ya the water was very low,and fairly clear 5ft,saw a boat fishing the creek channel in front of the ramp

I took my k'boat out for a little over 2 hrs. on Saturday. Got bit 7 or 8 times; landed 5 (nothing over 1-1/2 lbs.). They were hitting a drop-shotted Berkley 3" drop-shot minnow (on 4-lb. test), and then I got 4 strikes in 4 casts on a Carolina-rigged Zoom lizard (landed 3 of 'em -- of course, the one that got away was the biggest :-) ). Never really left the bank directly across from the ramp, given the limited amount of time I had on the water.

One guy said he'd caught a few on jigs & plastic worms. A few guys passed by saying they were using nightcrawlers, but I never saw 'em land any fish. A couple other bass boats were out in the middle, droppin' a spoon (I'm guessing). It was pretty nice weather, not too many boats. Kinda mellow, but it was nice getting a *little* action! -- j

Thanks Jeff I might be getting out over to Calero this coming AM TG.

for his first fish ever, out of this private pond owned by a friend of my dad's, up in Angel's Camp. It's an awesome pond, prob'ly 5-6 acres in surface area, just a mile or so away from the Hwy4/Hwy49 intersection. My dad & I caught a couple over 3 lbs. there last time out, just casting from shore. The owner swears there are numerous fish over 8 lbs. out there -- wants us to take away as many sub-3 lb'ers as we can catch so there's not so much competition for food for the BIG DAWGS! Hmmm... can't wait! (Sorry, guys, it's only accessible via this guy's front yard -- gotta do some SHMOOZIN', y'know?). :-)

Hey Jeff,

Sometimes it's best to take the big dawgs so they don't take control of all the food supply. Let your friend now that the cycle may end if you take all the small ones. Just a little something I read about home ponds.

I only live a few miles from there if you need me to explain in person. lol
