    Hi Mick:

    I live and fishing in Santa Cruz so I get to be part of North and South. Santa Cruz may be 1 degree warmer than Clear Lake but I get to sleep in my own bed after fishing.

    But you could get a savage ocean breeze too :lol:

    I know this is a little off topic so applogies in advance, its more about carp waryness,on a lot of UK waters that i fished/new about carp were generally wary of lights at night other than say street lights or similar that are allways there, this also went hand in hand with human activity.I'm sure that these things got associated with danger.

    Now over here where carp are not generally fished for it can be totally the opposite lights and/or human activity hotspots like marina's picnic grounds,boat ramps etc can be associated with finding food scraps or maybe the otherthings that feed off it like crawdads as the scraps found here in the past have not represented danger.

    However its all about your own confidence and i see that you may not be cofident about the larger more wary ones going too close to this kind of scenario.

    I'm with Mario on this one, carp here are used to boat traffic its part of their daily lives. there are times when action is slow and just after a boat has passed over your baits it happens.Even though i dislike power boats belting around all day.

    As for the rod a lower end spod rod is cheaper than some of the alternatives and not lots more than the average surf rod.

    By the way, the forecast for Mick's Clearlake, CA on January 1, 2014 calls for a high of 58° and a low of 32°. Good luck!

    Sounds great but the carp here are wimps and they close down at the merest drop in temps, havent caught for a few weeks now LOL

    Seems like any state where trout are popular is a state where northern pike are unpopular. California spent millions to eradicate northerns from Lake Davis. http://www.thefisheriesblog.com/2012/05/eliminating-invasive-predator-lessons.html

    Its rather interesting that northerns are considered an undesirable invasive species in California while at the same time other "foreigners" are considered desirable, e.g., largemouth bass & brown trout. The brown trout is a true foreigner, having been introduced into the US in the late 1800s, about the same time as the common carp.

    Thanks for the report John, it also makes water sources coming to and from that lake worth looking into.

    Funny thing about pike is that a lot of water company reservoirs in the UK have them in and these are predominantly trout fiseries and its beyond stupid that people cant see fishing for pike at lake Davis as an extra activity, instead of the millions spent trying to eradicate them.
