Full spawn is underway at Clear Lake, with bass in all three phases, but most in actual spawn. The northern end of the lake has been clearest, and best for sight fishing bedded bass. While the spawn in active, the bass fishing overall has been inconsistent, and should become even more challenging with the current weekend storm. The best producer right now are finesse soft plastics... drop shots, Senkos, and Flukes are all working for smaller bass, but the typical bigger Clear Lake bass have been challenging to lock into a pattern.

Catfish action has remained awesome all spring. Big fish are being caught everywhere on chicken livers, garlic shrimp, or dip baits. Even bass guys are accidentally hooking some double digit cats. Crappie are still biting well on submerged brush.
