That's a bit high isn't it? That means your boat is assessed at a value of $50,000

Thanks guys for the responses. It sounds like, and I hope, it is on the low side of the assessment. North Carolina also has a property tax on boats. Less than 1% for sure, but they assessed it way high. I can breathe a small sigh of relief that if we did choose to come here then I won't be taxed up ...

Hello friends. 2 years ago I moved from San Jose to Greenville NC. It was a big shift culturally and monetarily. Things are a LOT cheaper here. In a year, my girlfriend will finish her program and we are debating whether to move to Raleigh NC or Sacramento CA. Truth be told, if it was an even compet...

@th365 Awesome post on Clear Lake! Thanks for sharing the info as a newcomer to the lake. Bet you will miss the California fishing! Thank you! I most certainly will, but I'm moving back to North Carolina and they have some decent fishing for sure. I left North Carolina with a handful of rods, a kay...

Wow! This is the first essay I have ever read on the reports section. As a former teacher I would say you write very well! I will usually make a comment on a post, as others will, about a subject brought up on the forum. You went a lot further on your post - well done! It sounds like you fished the...

Posting this in the "Fishing Reports" section as well. I finally fished Clearlake this Saturday. I'm moving out of California and I needed to make this trip and fish it once. Some friendly members here gave me some advice. I thought it might be interesting to post what I did and how I went...

Word on the street is wide open bites, docks with deeper water and rock piles are seeing more action. The Brown Jig like Canopy Grenades CA Craw or Brown Purple are always good on Clear Lake. https://canopygrenades.com/collections/jigs/products/fbjca-craw Match it up with a Berkley Max Scent Meaty ...

I usually fish the southern end of the lake by Rattlesnake Island, since we have a place in the oaks. Here are some places I know, but you will need a boat since it is a distance from the State Park. 1. Windflower Point 2. Rattlesnake Island 3. Around Weekend Island & Fruit Island. 4. There is ...

Hey guys, I'll be fishing Clearlake for the first time this weekend. Any general tips or locations? I'm not looking for any detailed secrets, just a general direction would be very welcome. I'll be launching out of Clear Lake State Park on the west side.

Updates and another price drop

th365thli

While Nitros nowadays seem like well built boats, earlier Nitros had a bit of a reputation. I would look for a used 300/400 series Ranger or an older Skeeter or Champion. Those 300 Rangers you can get for a decent price and they're well built boats assuming the owner wasn't a complete asshat.

How much would it cost to mount a jack plate? I can do all the wiring myself, I just need someone to take the motor off and install the plate and put the motor back on.

Stockton is a bit far, even halfway. If you're willing to pay for shipping I can ship it.

Look up Khanh's customs. He does it out of his house. Looks janky, but I've been a repeat customer, very straightforward and good prices. Turnaround time can be a little slow so definitely ask him about that.

Just called and Capell is open as of April 13th!

Going to Berryessa this Sunday. Unfortunately Capell Cove seems to be closed so I'm trying to decide between Markley Cove and Putah Creek. Markley Cove is closer and cleaner but I'm wondering how crowded it gets. Putah Creek is a slightly farther drive. I've only launched at Capell before so I'm unf...

I did very well on the delta this weekend. On Saturday, some friends and I fished Sugar Barge/Frank's. I searched isolated tullies near deeper channels and caught 4 fish between 2-3 lbs. I was pretty confident in the pattern, but every fish was pretty cookie cutter. After that, I went looking for d...

Lew's TP1 Perfect Crankback - $30 - I broke the top guide and had it replaced. The top guide is different than the others but it fishes exactly the same. I upgraded to Cashion Chatterbait rod but before that this was my favorite chatterbait rod. Bob Brown the head rod builder personally recommended ...

I think the OP might've been accurate if he said "Bay Area" culture rather than California culture. Just my own experience, I've met a lot of nice people not in Silicon Valley. But that's just me. The stereotype of west coast selfishness is definitely a thing, and it happens in places like...

I feel like you're overgeneralizing and trying to fit everything into a neat little box. I moved to California from North Carolina 4 years ago, and though I'm not a huge fan of CA it's a very diverse place and that includes it's waterways. I've had many frustrating experiences but I've also had a pl...

Lol, you haven’t fished the Delta yet... :lol: Haha there's some truth to your statement. I don't favor the Delta because during spring I feel like I'm competing against other fishermen instead of just fishing and trying to catch fish. If I want to "fun fish" I want to be able to not worr...

Here's the thing I don't understand. Berryessa is a pretty sizable lake. It's a great fishing lake. How is there any need to crowd or cut off people fishing? You can't find ONE other spot? As a fairly new boater, one of the biggest downsides of owning a boat is dealing with other boaters. I luckily...

Perfect, thanks for the recommendation!

A lot of people recommend using the lightest weight you can with a dropshot but can someone explain why? I actually like using heavier weights. 3/8 ounce and even 1/2 ounce for really deep water. Better in the wind, sinks faster, feel the bottom better. Much better for fishing deeper water. Am I cra...

Thank you I will check them out

Thanks everyone for the replies.

The airbnb looks super nice but kind of large and expensive for my needs. I'd be traveling by myself or with one other person.

I've always wanted to fish Clear Lake. However, I live 3 hours away. What do you guys recommend for overnight stays? Any good hotels, campsites, launches? Any advice would be appreciated.

th365thli

I don't think I've seen a single person say they regret the Ultrex. I certainly don't regret mine. The spot lock makes it worth it just by itself but the other features that integrate with Humminbird are very cool too. I particularly like follow the contour.

So I called the field office today and it looks like Capell Cove boat ramp is still open. They said that conditions could change so call them before you leave. We're heading out Thursday and I'll definitely give them a call for their opinion.

Stay safe everyone!

th365thli

I've launched at Capell Cove on Berryessa on the weekend and never felt safety was an issue given the vast amount of boaters. However, I'm thinking about going there this Thursday after July 4th and was wondering how safe is it during the week? I've heard some questionable things. Also, are the mari...

Your reports are really helpful man, keep it up!

How windy was it down there? I launched out of Russo's into Frank's Tract and it was cold and windy. No fish, only a couple bites. I'm thinking about trying the south Delta next time.

th365thli

Is it just me or was the weekend unusually tough. I couldn't find clear water anywhere. Is it the rains or something else? Very puzzled and frustrated.
