Title: Clear Lake 1/27 RPT
Post by: ThreemoneyJ on January 27, 2024, 08:35:42 PM
Sam and I hit clear Lake for a little winter fishing on Saturday 1/27. The weather was really nice. Partly cloudy, light wind, and a tiny sprinkle of rain.

We fished around rattlesnake. Water temp was 51 with a green tinge and maybe 2 feet of visibility.

The fishing was pretty decent especially with the amount of pressure in the area we fished. We caught a couple of bass and a couple of crappie. The crappie were roaming open water and the bass were tight on rocky structure.

Biggest bass that I got was 20.5 inches/7.5lbs. Sams biggest was 17.5 inches. Biggest crappie was 14 inches.

Lots of water in the lake. It’s only going to get better as the days start getting longer!

Do you have to get a lake county mussel sticker for the yak?

As long as you are not powered in your kayak you do not need the mussel sticker.

Does “powered” include sail?

IIRC it has to do with you CF number, so maybe?
