Clear Lake Fish-In
M & M Campground

October 2nd & 3rd, 2004

Saturday October 2nd

The weather and the fishing was great, there were five participants in the fish-in: Keith Thompson, his girlfriend Wendy, James (Carpskunker on the CAG forum), Mary and I.  Keith, Wendy and James showed up Friday night, Mary and I arrived at around 7:30 am on Saturday. Keith and Wendy had already caught a few fish during the night and James had just started fishing. Keith, Wendy and James started catching quite a few fish while Mary and I were experiencing no action at all since we were fishing out at the end of the peninsula. Around 11:30 in the morning, Mary and I started catching fish as well.  Everyone had a productive afternoon. Keith, Wendy and James ended up with around 40 fish for the day with Keith's 21.4 lb'er being the biggest. Mary and I ended up with 14 fish up to 16 lbs for the day. Mary caught 6 and I caught 8. We took off for home around 5:00 pm but Keith, Wendy and James continued to fish. James left for home sometime later that evening.

 

 

Sunday October 3rd

Mary and I returned on Sunday morning around 8:00 am and Keith and Wendy reported that they  got into a lot of smaller carp during the night, I didn't ask how many they caught but they said it got pretty hectic. We set up at the end of the peninsula again and there was no action until around noon. Keith and Wendy didn't have any action either. Finally everyone started catching a few in the afternoon. Keith did it again with a 23.12 lb'er! He ended up with a 19, 21.4 and 23.12 for the weekend, all three being bigger than anyone else caught. Mary and I caught a couple just over 16 and I believe Wendy caught a 17 lb'er. We all packed it in a little before 3:00 pm and headed home. A great time was had by all.
