Catfish ED put up this website to promote Clear Lake and Lake County California which he dearly loved. He have lived here since May of 1994 and never left this paradise. We hope you enjoy viewing this website. It is primarily about fishing for catfish and bass in Clear Lake, located in Northern California about 60 miles from the coast. The predominant fish species in the lake are: Largemouth Bass; Channel Catfish; White Catfish; Brown Bullheads; White Crappie; Black Crappie; Bluegill and the ever popular Carp.

I had the honor of meeting Ed shortly after I moved here in 1997. I pulled up to the mouth of Holiday Harbor in Nice in my car. A man I thought to be 60 or 70 was standing at the mouth of it casting a rattle trap diagonally across the opening. I yelled out, "Are they biting?"
Ed's head snapped around and he reeled in the line and walked over to my car. He said, "Oh, I see the wheelchair there. I wondered why you didn't get out. Yeah they're biting. I'm catching one about every other cast. They're all cookie-cutter bass about 3 pounds. Here, I'll show you," and he walked back to the water's edge.
Ed made one cast and the rod doubled over. He fought the fish for little while, grabbed his line, and walked the bass over to the car.
He said, "I'm guessing this one to be about 3.2 pounds." Then he whipped a scale out of his pocket and stuck it in the fish's mouth and showed me the scale. It weighed 3.3 pounds.
He said, "Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this. Hey, I even caught a shopping cart a little while ago."
