11/11/14 Lake Conditions & Fishing Report

11/11/2014

Currently the Lake level is holding steady but is at it's lowest level of the year which is also the lowest it has been in many years.  That being said, there is still plenty of water to fish in and two main ramps are still open in the cities of Clearlake Oaks and in Lakeport.   Overall the fishing for and catching of the larger bass remains a challenge and requires mixing it up with reaction type baits such as deep diving crankbaits,  lipless crankbaits fished with a yo yo type retrieve, jigs, and swimbaits.   Covering a lot of water,  targeting ledges and drop offs and rocky structure seems to be the best bet.   The off shore weed beds are fast disappearing so the flipping and punching will not be a factor much longer.  I have had reports of senko's working in the shallow parts of the lake, (North & West Ends)  also shallow running square billed crankbaits.    If you plan on using a drop shot rig, plan on wading through hundreds of the small four to seven inch bass.   These can be caught almost anywhere in the lake and both in shallow and deep water.   The lake is literally loaded with massive schools of bait fish and combine this with the massive amounts of smaller bass, the bigger bass have plenty to feed on.   Using a reaction type bait such as the Lucky craft LV 500 can trigger those bigger bass to bite, again you just have to cover water and find the schools or areas that are holding the bigger fish.   We got lucky on a trip yesterday, (11/10/14) and my customer landed a seven and a eight pounder using the LV 500 targeting rocky banks with deep water close by.(Check out the photos on the photo tab)
      There is hardly any boat traffic on the lake and the weather has been perfect with very little wind making for ideal conditions to get you and test your skills and try your luck.   I have been hearing lot's of people crying the blues because of a tough and slow bite.  Personally I think that's when it becomes fun trying to figure them out and how can you complain with great fishing weather, no boat traffic and to be able to fish in a lake that can offer up a seven & eight pound bass in the same outing.    That's it for now,  God Bless all of our veteran's and all those who are protecting and fighting to keep our freedom.    Boat Safe, be careful in the shallows, be courteous,  ""Happy Veterans" Day.   Bob
