I know some of you guys got out there. How was the bite? Have the fish started there migration from weeds to rocks? We dont need exact locations just some basic info would be cool

I haven't prefished Clear Lake yet this fall. I did hear that the water level is down around 8' or so f/ when we fished it in May. I'm sure the weeds are thick. Somebody is having a big boat tournie on Saturday (WON Bass Pro-Am?) - no surprise there.

and yes the water is down quite a bit since May

O.K,I kinda suck at doing reports but I`ll give it a go.Went out with a friend of mine on his boat,got on the water about 7:00 or so.The plan going out there was to hit multiple spots to locate fish and eliminate water so our catch totals weren`t great but if We would have pounded some spots we could have had a great day.Anyway We hit one of my favorite rockpiles first thing and I got two pretty much right off the bat on crankbaits.So we took off to one of his spots wich had alot of weeds and baitfish in the area,we pounded that pretty good with no success.So we then went to my bread and butter spot which has weed,rock and a creek channel going through it.We got a few there and we found some other structure in the area there I didn`t know about and got a couple more.So we cruised to see if we could get any around some deeper docks around glenn haven and only picked up one after fishing this area pretty damn hard.From there we went to Kona Tayee(sp.) nothing.Jammed over to county and spotted alot of little bass but no baitfish fished it for awhile with no success.It was getting kinda late so I suggested we pound Andys stretch and see what happens,bam we started hooking up again( nice spot Andy)lol.All in all it was a fairly succesful trip eliminated alot of water I might have tryed during this weekend.For those who won`t get a chance to pre-fish or don`t know the lake I would suggest if you find some rock they`re will be a fish there,if you find some rock with weeds around even better.Also if you catch a fish in a spot chances are there will be more catchable fish in the area,it didn`t seem to be one fish per area catch ratio, it was more like they were there or they weren`t.Reaction baits were the ticket this weekend everybody seems to be throwing the same thing but the people that are catching fish are doing something a little different in there retrieve or there presentation to get them to hit.Alot of small fish biting out there, should be an interesting tourney.I hope this helps,Bill one mor thing we only got one fish in water deeper than 6ft.

Dang! You pounded my fish! Those dudes probably hadn't seen a lure since I last fished there in May. You should have stayed home & watched the Raiders.

Todds holding out,lets here it dude!Andy settle down the sqeelers won`t win three in a row.

How about a report?

I don't think Todd did prefish. The man just exudes confidence these days.

Anyhow, I checked out the BFL results from Clear Lake last weekend. Sounds like a tough bite. Jimmy Reese finished 3rd with only 23# for 2 days. You can see them at http://www.flwoutdoors.com/bfl/tournament.cfm?tournamentidno=5&divisionidno=17&tournamentyear=2002

Good luck to everybody. See you at Clear Lake.

WOW I think those are the worst weights I've ever seen at a Pro tourney at Clear Lake. It's gonna be a tough one and every bite is goign to count. I think in a way pre-fishing could burn you in this tourney because if you hit your good spots and catch a couple, those few bites might be the only bites you get on tourney day. We should all do a rain dance and hope for some change in the weather to spark some active fish.

the only thing I did was look at condo's and townhomes and try to collect donations. No prefishing for me (except this coming Friday) but I have my ideas!

As far as I know catching fish doesn't sound like a problem. I've heard those 12"ers are all over the place! Bringing in big limits...well that does seem like a problem. You never know, fall Clear Lake fishing could break out any time and all you have to do is be in the right spot at the right time...

As Rob said, let there be rain!

Remember when this post came around. We werent looking for exact info just basic stuff. Had you not posted your "PREFISHING IMPORTANCE" post we never would have thought anything about it. Maybe a lot of us dont take these kickboat events as serious as others.

Just my $0.02 and its pretty much water under the bridge now.


Thanks to those who did put in there $0.02

Im not sure what your talking about, if it's why I never posted a prefish report, that was because I wasn't able to log onto this forum for reasons that where out of my control. And as for taking it serious, well my friend, I don't take anything to serious. Its just good ol fishing fun :-).
Thanks John
Rich

P.S. Catch a big one.....

Fish fear round tubers and Bass Tech kickboats!!

You were a member as of 10/17 under the richcaro screen name and this thread was on top during that time. I would have imagined you read it. Either way like I said it is water under the bridge. I am glad you dont take things very serious.
