Clear lake

[deerfishin]

Anyone been out to Clear Lake Waseca yet, or heard any good reports? Im gonna give the night bite a try tonight. Hopefully ill have something to report tomorrow.

[Sandmannd]

I haven't been down there for a few weeks and it was cold with no bites. Let us know how you do, I would like to know if the bites picked up at all.

[deerfishin]

went out last night after work 230 am till bout 630am. Nothing but sunfish couldnt keep them off leeches. Switched to fat heads never got another bite.thinkin the thirty degree temp difference in two days might have shut the walleyes down a little.

[Sandmannd]

Anyone been out this weekend on Clear? Curious if the bite has picked up on the crappies.

[icechipper]

I was out on Clear today, 12-5 pm. Caught a few crappies, lots of sunfish. Crappies were in around 6' of water mixed in with the sunfish. Caught everything on wax worms.

[deerfishin]

gonna give it another go after work tonite. Hopefully the scattered t-storms today didnt make a difference...a guy has got to think positive right???

[Sandmannd]

Looking for an update on this lake. Going to head down this weekend. Haven't been down since early spring. How's the panfish bite? Anyone know they name of the bait shop in the gas station across form Walmart?

[jigging-matt]

We did get out. Didn't get to use your pointers though. We were going after the pannies first. Bites constantly but had a hard time getting them to hook. Came home with a few. Good time on that little lake. Used to more action though.

[Sandmannd]

Any word on the pannies here in the last week or so? Might head down on Sunday.

[ZEEK1223]

just wanted to let everyone that uses the lake that might not know. The bass are all catch and release. I'm not pointing any fingers, so if your looking to criticize me save your breath.

[katoguy]

It used to be plainly posted at each landing. It has been this way for at least 10 years. I'd call tip if I saw anyone keeping them out there. Ignorance is no defense, but this may be a good reminder for everyone to make sure of special lake regulations when planning an outing.

[tipup]

Stll posted all ocer the lake as to catch and release for Bass, but still every year i see people doing it weather from shore or boats, makes me sick.

[tipup]

Just wondering if there is any new info out there about clear Lake in Waseca? Hav been out there twice now in the last week and have gotten completely skunked. I will admit I am not the worlds best fisherman but I mean really. I have always had good luck out there in the winter and fair luck in the summer until this year. I know that there is eyes out there as my buddie and I always get a few during hard ice, but whats the best way to get them going in the summer /fall? Any help would be great, my 5 1/2 year old has really gotten into fishing theis year and I would love to get a few bigger ones for him. Thanks for any replies!!

[bluebill]

[SCONASOTAN]

I was out on Clear today with little luck. Got on the water at 7:30 and didn't have a bite until 11:00. 1 largemouth about 12", a bunch of little bluegills and a couple perch, then one nice fat 11" crappie. This was all just out from Maplewood park using slip bobber jig and minnow for the most part. Waxies worked too but only brought on the tiny gills. Caught the most in 10-14' of water hanging it 3-4' off the bottom. Tried the sunken island early but I couldn't find a fish there.

[Sandmannd]

I was out today with a buddy. We got 14 crappies and 10 sunnies, pretty nice size. Also 5 bass, 1 was a monster and a perch. We hit the water at 8. Caught two fish on a crappie jig with a tail tipped with a minnow and all the rest were caught on gulp. Today, gulp way outfished the live bait hands down. Have hat that happen to me a lot on Clear.

[bluebill]
