First time in the lakeport area for some fishing and I am glad I found this spot. The owner was…read morevery friendly, and open to questions. Helped me all the way through, and I thought I might have annoyed him with so many questions. But no, he answered them all and even pointed out where the local fisherman were catching fish.

He was preoccupied with a few customers when I came in, so I waited about 10 minutes. I was starting to get a little bothered because there was no communication, but once he was finished, he came over, chatted it up - really friendly guy. I told him I was a novice fisherman and brought in my broken reel. He took time to walk me through my options, troubleshoot it, and explained the best way to catch fish that weekend based on conditions and bait. Super informative, thorough, and overall friendly. The store has all the gear you need, it's organized and clean. I walked away more educated and appreciated his expertise. If you're up in the Clear Lake area and need guidance or supplies for a fishing trip, this is your go-to spot. I believe the gentleman who helped me was named Justin.

We had so much fun we opted to rent it again 2 days later for 4 hours. The boat had a Bluetooth stereo system that I was able to connect my phone to. The 2 brothers that run it, Conner and Brandon are awesome guys! Very accommodating and flexible. We changed our reservation a couple times and since we rented during the post season they had no problems with it. HIGHLY recommend renting with these guys!!!!

They were generous with our time, as we were a tad late. We rented a pontoon with ample space for 6 people. Plenty of life vests. Staff showed us how to operate boat and safety info clearly.

Folks show up early to stake their claim for prime space, even before the bands show up to start getting ready for their shows. There are food trucks, and sponsor booths giving away various items during the concerts. I was quite impressed with the play equipment the City installed for the community, as well as the fact that they maintain restrooms for public use. I can only hope the concerts continues on for many years to come.

Who names their park "Library", they do. The whole town was there with beach chairs and the band was playing Beatles songs. Food trucks there. Shave ice with more than 20 flavors and you help yourself. How cool. Kids swimming. Raffle winners being announced. I think they have a concert once a month on Friday nights. Look for the flyer or Google it. Summer series. Plenty of picnic tables, playground, and restroom. Bring your chairs and find your spot. Dance the night away.

We spent the morning with Faith on her mighty pontoon boat. I dare you to spend the morning with…read moreanyone else that is so passionate about our feathered friends on this lake. When you can't, you owe me a drink. Faith had no tours scheduled for today, but she woke up early and was waiting for my wife and I, boat in the water and ready to go. We paid a premium for the private tour but so worth it. I think 4 people per tour would be perfect so if you have another couple to split the costs it's well worth it. Watching Faith get so excited about spotting another species and talking excitedly about the where's and why's is really engaging. She truly cares about the lakes ecosystem and how it affects the birds. There is no script and no trying to up sell. This is a small owner-operator company. We had such a great morning. Before today I would have called this a bird watching trip. Now I will be describing it as a bird engagement tour. We stopped at a dock on the South side to watch even more birds not of the paddling type and use the restrooms. We then headed back across the lake. Our tour ran long as we were just enjoying the lake and the conversation. I recommend this tour just so you can feel Faith's passion for the waterfowl and this lake. My wife and I travel much of the year for work, meeting with customers and we see a lot of attractions, meeting a lot of people. We will be talking about this morning a lot with our friends and family.

More than I expected. Faith is passionate about the lake and its habitat, especially bird life…read more She was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about birds on the lake. Breeding habits and migration were explained in detail. We were a family party of five with ages from 3 to 70 and all were well served on this early October morning. We always felt safe. There was a special bathroom stop. Faith is also people friendly and went beyond expectations to accommodate photos. I plan to do this again in late May or early June. in Gratitude, David

My son and I had a great experience fishing with Captain Mark. He was attentive to our comfort and…read moreneeds but most of all, he found the fish! And he's a really nice guy! The last time fishing Clear Lake was over 25 years ago when I had a boat, which I gave away a few years ago. Mark knew all the spots that held bass. We boated about 30 fish, and both Ryan and I caught at least 10 each. The only slight downer was none of the fish were over 5 pounds so we want to go back in the spring to get the big ones.

I spent two days fishing with Mark in mid march this year and couldn't be happier. Aside from…read moreputting me on the second biggest bass I ever caught (8'6") I caught six other bass over 5 lbs. I've been fishing Clearlake in March for over 12 years and never had a better trip. Mark has only just started guideing fishermen since he retired from the Calif. Highway Patrol but he has been fishing in pro tournaments for twenty years and his knowledge of the lake shows it. I look forward to using him in Lake Berryessa and Lake Sonoma later this year. Thanks Mark
