Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Clear Lake 4/25
« on: April 25, 2024, 04:27:19 PM »
A few weeks ago I was out on Clear Lake looking for crappie. All we found was crappy weather, and the fish weren’t really biting.
Today I decided to try to make up the bad weather trip. Well guess what? I got rained on It was a little cold, a little windy, and a little rainy. You don’t always get to pick the best days to fish, and the fish are already wet so they don’t mind the rain.
I started off throwing a 2 inch keitech 1/16 head on a light powered rod 10lb braid to 6lb flouro. I didn’t put that combo down all morning.
I got into the crappie pretty quickly and had a nice 14.75 AOTY upgrade pretty quickly. I sorted through a lot of other crappie, finally landing a great 15 incher!
I also landed a few bass, but nothing to get too excited about.
I even got a big ol catfish throwing the crappie lure around. 31.25 inch which was a really nice AOTY upgrade!
The fish are there. Sort of all over the place relating to structure. They were biting from about a foot of water all the way out to 15 feet of water. No real pattern to it.
