1/24/2013 Lake Conditions/Fishing Report

    Well since the last time I posted, I had a knee operation, celebrated Christmas, New Years and our Anniversary.  Things are fine at Clearlake.  Fishing/catching, has been very slow.  For most of the later part of December we got lot's of rain,  combine this with most of January so far with ""Cold"" temp's with nightime getting down into the 20's has made it very tough and not very many people fishing.    Many of the local fisherman have been having no luck with artificial baits and even the live bait bite has been tough.  Water clarity is very good at mid lake and in the South arms.  The upper end of the lake has also cleared up a lot from the heavy rains in December.  Currently our lake level is at 5.85 feet and considering that all of last year we only got to a high of 5.90 feet, we are well on our way to a full lake if we can get some more decent rainfall. ( Lake is full at 7.57 feet)  Even though things have been very slow for catching fish so far this month, the results of the team tournament on the 13th of this month proved that the fish are still here and are getting ""Big"".  The winners of the tournament had 34 lbs for their best five fish to win the tournament.   Although most of the 36 boat teams struggled and only 9 of the teams managed to catch a five fish limit.   
      The good news is that a friend of mine fished this week with live bait and got on a school of fish and caught 30 fish with their best five fish going an incredible 35lbs.     It just proves that you have to ""Find""them and once you do you can load the boat with some beautiful trophy size bass.  Once our water temp starts to warm up a few degrees, the bite will get much better.  Currently our water temperature is holding right around 43 to 45 degrees.  Any warm up that takes us up to the 50 degree mark will certainly turn these fish on and the bite will steadily get better as we move into February & March.  .
     I have spent this slow time getting my gear worked on, reels serviced, boat problems fixed, new graph, livewell cables, valve, etc. I will be hitting the lake a lot over these next couple of weeks preparing for several bookings I have in February.   I have a lot of bookings on the calendar and I am hoping for another great fishing year here on Clear Lake.   That's it for now, feel free to email or call me at anytime for any information needed.  If your planning on booking a trip,  book early to get your date, some of the prime weeks are already getting full.   Here's to a Happy, Healthy, Blessed 2013 for all of us.   God Bless,   Bob
