 Lake conditions, Fishing Report

   The water temps are now starting out at 50 to 51 degrees in the mornings.,  The warmer weather that is expected this next week will move the temps up into the high 50's by the end of this next week.   The bite is already good on live bait and artificial baits are also working well.    The tournament folks are using the ""A"" rig as their primary bait of choice along with a variety of swimbaits.   Other baits such as chatterbaits,  Lucky Craft lipless crankbaits in the 1/2 oz size and jigs are also working.   We are catching some really nice size fish with almost all fish being over three pounds and five pounders are common.  The bite is only going to get better and better as more fish move up to prepare for the spawn.    The last three tournaments on the lake have taken well over 30 pounds for the best five fish to win the tournament and or get a check.     The "A" rigs come in all sizes and types and are being rigged up with a whole variety of small swimbaits on them.   The Kitech brand is by far the most popular.  Some people are using five to even eight wire set ups for these rigs and they are putting a lot of fish in the boat for those who can stay with them and throw them all day long. 
     Clear Lake is fishing ""Great"" right now with lot's of trophy size fish being caught.   We are going to have an outstanding spring bite.  Now is the time to get on the lake and fish your favorite baits and have a chance of catching a fish of a lifetime.  
     I am getting really booked up on my calendar with only a few openings left for March and April.   Don't wait until the last minute if you want to book a trip.   Myself along with the other guides book out a lot in advance.   As usual,  feel free to email or call me at anytime for any information needed.     God Bless,   Bob Myskey
