    3# crappie from large minnow
    Tommy S.

    5 star shop for sure! Jimmy was super helpful. Was in town for a week. Fished from the dock of a rental property and caught a plethora of fish, up to multiple 5# bass. The big minnows is what caught them, the smaller ones caught the smaller fish. If I'm back in Clearlake, this is my go to!

    My husband says, "What a great find!" He was fishing at Clear Lake and at the end of the day, went to buy minnows.

    I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with this campground. The campers placed directly next…read moreto us were loud, disruptive, and inconsiderate well into the night, making noise until around 3:30 a.m. I was told quiet hours were enforced. We paid for a campsite expecting a reasonable night's sleep and instead spent most of the night awake listening to our neighbors. Because we got virtually no sleep, we made the decision to leave a day early. When I texted the host, I wasn't even asking for a refund--I simply requested a complimentary night for a future stay as a goodwill gesture. The request was immediately denied because of their "no refunds for early departure" policy. The issue isn't that we left early. The issue is that the campground did not provide the quiet, enjoyable experience that guests are paying for. Hiding behind a policy while ignoring the reason a guest is leaving is poor customer service and shows a complete lack of concern for the guest experience. If you're looking for a peaceful campground, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

We ended up leaving a day early because we didn't want to deal with the noisy assholes parked next to us. Just have to know it's a popular catfishing spot so people are up drinking and fishing all night long.

I was concerned I might accidentally run over a duck when I left. Very cute regardless, especially hearing the pitter patter of duck feet hustling across the pavement. Additionally, I was treated to a couple of roosters singing their customary morning greeting. Sorry, no pictures of the roosters or ducks, I was still waking up and I was concerned when the ducks fearlessly approached my vehicle. Perhaps, next time?

One member of our family got there a day before the rest. She felt as though we was tricked from the pictures. She was told no refunds. My aunt was so disgusted she nearly got back on the plane and flew home. The place from the outside had spider webs and dirt all over the place. Its seriously needs to be pressure hosed from the outside all over. This is only where the problems start. In my beach house cottage the power and stove went out. They stated its a DFI switch or something like that, nevertheless after having a "employee who can fix it." They couldn't find her, she went home. So I had to wait to finish cooking. After about 2 hours they magically came back on. This seems as though its been a ongoing problem from the way they made it sound. Another one of my aunts had to wait for her unit to be painted 3 hours past check it. Yes I said painted! Who paints a unit same day of check in? Well later I find out they had a squatter who wouldn't leave dying there. the place smelled so bad they had to paint it to remove the smell. They wouldve been better off not renting the unit till it was complete. My aunt had to try and sleep there with paint fumes and she has asthma. Lastly mother and I was hanging out till midnight. When it was time for her to goto bed, she discovers her unit flooded from the AC. Her Bedding was soaked. They did come and mop it up and give new bedding. They literally gave the new bedding to my mom. My mother is handicap, the guy claims he has never maid a bed before. My mother could've slipped or gotten electrocuted, the offered no help. Here is the worst part they offered a $50 discount for the trouble. Moral of the story is NEVER got there. They need new owners and management that gives a dam.

    The bungalows at Blue Fish Cove resort are decorated in a kitschy campy style. I stayed in the…read morefisherman's shack, which includes a kitchenette furnished with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a small coffee maker. Sans concierge, the Bluefish Cove is a comfortable hideaway for those outdoorsy types who truly like to play outside. A private pier with small slips are available for guests to dock their fishing row boats, and at the end of it sits a small boat house with a wood burning stove and some comfy seats. A convenient landing spot indeed...a quiet spot to enjoy a bottle of wine and listen to the crackle of the fireplace after a long day of sublime laziness. Blue Fish Cove is a simple no-frills kinda place located "off the grid" for those of y'all who don't want to be bothered... and it's a hop skip and jump away from Sac and SF. The customer service here is excellent. The owners, namely Ms Judy, was very kind , extremely accommodating, and they're pet and family friendly.

We weren't able to check in until after 6 o'clock even with the Covid tthe manager and the owner Jody and her son Jason are crooks. She tried to blame everything that was wrong with the place on the people that are staying downstairs. It took us 15 minutes to be able to get inside after the sixth after the 6 PM check in and we had to kill flies. There were no blankets on the bed bed and we didn't get any blankets. They dropped blankets off in the carport at about 2 AM in the morning.. The pictures tell at all do not waste your money going to this property they are crooks. I will be reporting them to Lake County health department on July 20, 2020.

I have stayed in the Cabana as well as the Honeymooner both were great! I am coming back again soon :)

At $45 per night for a 37 ft MH it's a good deal. It is indeed right by the lake and the cays are on the opposite side. Great wildlife sightings including deer and geese and goslings !. The week we were there it was very quiet. The minuses: it's not well kept up. Weeds and overgrown grass everywhere. An otherwise nice view of the lake blocked by recycle bins and about 10 trash cans. At least one dog owner did not pick up after their pet so I picked up a fair amount of dog poop including one that sat in the concrete outside the laundry room for 3 days. The laundry room was surprisingly clean but some lowlife left a giant bag of their kitchen trash in the trash can. I don't think the park is looked after on a daily basis or this would have been picked up before I had to do it. As others have said this park is mostly occupied by older, unkempt RVs and motorhomes. Lots of trash everywhere tho maybe left by the day fishermen visiting the lake. Our outdoor space was very thorny so our dogs kept getting them stuck in their paws. Would not visit again. We would if it was maintained.

    Talk about a disgusting place. I give it 15 stars…read more The ads that you see for this are glorified! The ads do not show the trash and broken-down trailers and RV's. This place is 90% occupied by people that live here all the time and they do not take care of this place. Do not believe the pictures that you see on Rover Pass or any other RV website. WHAT A DUMP!
