Lake Reports

Clear Lake
Clear Lake By Report: Clear Lake Fishing Report Nov 15 Fishing at Clear Lake showed strong weight potential, with productive windows developing later in the day. Fish responded to deeper cranking and minnow presentations, with changing weather patterns influencing activity levels throughout the event. Best Techniques & Baits Deep-diving crankbaits were a key producer, with anglers using 6XD-style plugs in shad, craw, and bluegill patterns. These baits were effective in reaching depths of 22 to 24 feet, paired with fluorocarbon line to maintain depth and sensitivity. Minnow presentations were also productive, fished on light braid-to-fluorocarbon setups to target fish suspended or roaming offshore. Adjustments in head weight and bait size played a major role in increasing accuracy and triggering bigger bites. Jerkbaits contributed when conditions allowed for precise casts, and lighter heads helped anglers maintain the ideal fall and action needed to connect with quality fish. Weather & Conditions Weather swings influenced feeding periods, with anglers noting improved action after midday and stronger results during unstable weather. Slick-off conditions demanded more accurate presentations, while incoming rain was expected to activate bigger fish. Fog delays and shifting wind patterns also affected timing and positioning, pushing anglers to adapt throughout the day.
