Lake Berryessa report 4/9/05 (with pics)

[Panfish Popper]

Me and my uncle bought a Sea Eagle inflatable boat and decided to try it out at Berryessa. We fished at night with a crappie light. It was about 11:00pm, pretty dark out. My uncle kept on catching small crappie, about 3. I wasnt getting any, then finally i look at my rod tip and its bent! Set the hook, Landed a nice Crappie over 1 pound. Crappie fishing was solid. We used Minnows.

Hello everyone!

I live in the City of Clearlake and fish Clear Lake two to three times a week average, whether it be bass, or crappie.

The crappie bite has been good to fantastic for the last eight months when fishing by boat, plus my daughter loves fishing for them, so they have been our primary target!

Here are recent pictures of crappie my daughter and I have caught/released/kept for the past two months. Hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we enjoyed catching them! :D

PS - The lake record is 4.8 lbs., which is also the California state record for a white crappie. This big crappie was 4.37 lbs. weighed with three separate digital scales before being released. It was the last fish caught before darkness fell upon us. My daughter is 5'2" and 105 lbs., so you can see as comparison this is one big puppy! :D 20.5" long, 7.5" tall, and 2.25" girth
