Largemouth Bass
Clear Lake, near Lakeport, is a true Largemouth Bass fishing paradise. Its fertile waters produce trophy-sized bass, attracting anglers from all over. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, as bass move into shallow waters to spawn. Buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits are all excellent choices for covering water and triggering strikes. However, Clear Lake fishes well year-round. During the summer, focus on deeper structure and weed lines, using techniques like Carolina rigging and deep-diving crankbaits. Fall can be another productive time, as bass feed heavily in preparation for winter. A local tip is to pay attention to the wind. Windblown shorelines often concentrate baitfish and bass. The lake has numerous public access points and boat ramps, but it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Clear Lake's Largemouth are known for their exceptional size and fighting ability, making it a must-visit destination for any serious bass angler. Don't be surprised if you hook into a double-digit fish!
