Clear Lake, best swimbaits to bring?

[510lipripper]

What are your favorite and most productive swimbaits to throw at CL? I was watching the HBC #2 and saw a lot of sick looking floaters but dont know what ones they were. What are the best floaters and sinkers to use? thanks

I am no swimbait expert but I've been bit pretty good up there on wake baits, AC minnow, 3:16 Baby Bass, 7" Slammers. I've done pretty good on a Hudd shad in lavander. Have not done great on Basstrix but I think that's just me. I think Shellcracker and 6" Punker would also be great but I haven't tried them. Had a lot of follows with a Triple Trout but no takers.

any Black Dog product punkers great in the morning or midday and the crackers great around all those docks just twitch twitch pause and hold on with that... and i have to agree with the baitsmith purple magic or lavender shad

Caught a pretty good one there Monday on the Tru Tungsten Trout. I adjusted it to a slow fall and caught a 7.2 off a rockpile.
Great bait but Ive used it twice and the paint is falling off already. Anybody else have this problem?

Try the 8 in. 4 piece, CUT TAIL FLOATER, TRIPLE TROUT, in blue herring or white, ect.

Really, I've watched them being thrown a lot on CL but never seen one get bumped. I've seen the same guy catch em on MS Slammers and Triple Trout though. He's caught a couple medium sized fish on the 316 Wake Jr. that I used to throw without success.

I have money minnows, basstrix, osperys, and a baitsmith. Im looking to get some hard baits. I just got a 6 3/4" kong floater in bass and a mikey.
I want to get a wake jr. Does anyone know where the have then in the bay area or near CL? What color hits?

I think Tackle It in lake port has the Wake Jr's not 100% sure on that though. You might want to give them a call. If they dont the Hook Line and Sinker has them.

hey 510lipripper, just wanted to let you know we have a great selection of wakebait Jr's here at Clearlakeoutdoors. As far as hot colors in these baits, I would go with Hitch, Baby Bass, Ayu, or Chartreuse shad. I would also suggest throwing an MS Slammer and A.C Minnow, both are excellent wake baits and are working well right now. Give me a call or come on by when you are up and we will take good care of you. Thanks, Troy (707)262-5852

they have a good selection at red bud launch too. i got mine at lake port area though. wake jr is awesome everywhere but only during specific times.

Im no swimbait expert but if anyone finds an AC minnow (Shad) floating around up there let me know. I lost that dude last friday night, just came off, was on my way to Rattlesnake from Shag when I noticed it was gone.

But seriously I'll pay shipping to get that dude back if someone finds it.

Let me know.
