Despite year-round efforts to mitigate future flood damage, the pressure to finish key maintenance projects in San Mateo is mounting, as rainy season fast approaches.
Clear Lake continues to kick out bass for the few anglers on the lake. With no bass tournaments scheduled for more than a week the fishing pressure has dropped considerably. A good example was on Thursday morning. There were only couple of boat trailers in the parking lot at the Fifth Street ramp in Lakeport. The two-day Bob’s Marine tournament held over the weekend drew only 19 boats. In the past this tournament always drew at least 60 boats and often more than 100.
