Lake Reports

Clear Lake
Clear Lake By Spent 5 days on Clear Lake last week, and despite all the tournament weights that would say this lake is on fire, it’s not. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but you really have to work hard to find the quality bites. So lake conditions - water temp was 70-77 and the weather was a low pressure cooling. The first days were high pressure, heating up on the first day with a high of 85. The little fish seemed willing to bite a ChatterBait and a Keitech. The second day, the weather highs where going to be 100+. The fishing really wasn’t that good. I fished docks, shade, tules, and only had three bites all day. The rest of the time I had hot days 100+, but the fish seemed to be ok with that. I threw a ChatterNait in the morning in 3-5 ft of water, but I would have to make multiple casts and different retrieves to every dock piling. I fished it like I knew there was a fish on every piling and I just had to trick them into eating my bait. I had over 20 fish with the largest going 9.89. That was fun. About 10:30 am, I would put the reaction down and go flippin' and I just flipped tules, brush and any place I could find shade. I’d go for a hour until I would find em and whenI found one, I would get 3-4. I got into some wrestling matches thatI just didn’t win. So if you want to have a great time, plan on spending a couple days at Clear Lake, because once you figure out how you want to catch them, multiple limits of 20lbs is possible. The baits I had success with JackHammer in shad with Missle Bait Spunk Shad on Frenzy Nail, D Bomb with a 3/4 oz Flippin' weight, R2S Big Poppa and a Drop Shot.
