Fishing’s been hit or miss at Clear Lake as the post-spawn grind sets in. Most bass have wrapped up spawning and are now roaming, looking to feed... but you’ve got to work for them. Water temps are fluctuating between 62°F in the mornings and up to 67°F by late afternoon, and that warmer water is key. The bite noticeably improves once things heat up.

Wind and weather have been shifting fast, turning clear water muddy overnight in some areas. If you’re not getting bit, move. Fish are up under docks or cruising in shallow cover when the sun pops out, but they drop back when a front rolls in.

Frog action is finally picking up some. Glide baits are drawing in a lot of big followers but few commits. Best action is coming on a a mix of underspins, Senkos, and dropshots. No one pattern is dominating.

Topwater’s should be about to fully turn on. Another warm stretch and a new moon should push a fresh wave of fish shallow.
