5/2 Clear Lake Report

#670233 - 05/03/08 09:34 AM

Fished Clear Lake again last night from 5-9pm. 3 of us limited again, and threw back a few legal fish. Ended up catching well over 100 fish, but a lot of 12-13 inch small fish. Jig/minnow was the ticket again for us, although we had a good run on 3" Berkely Gulp Minnows. Biggest walleye of the night was 18 inches, but biggest fish of the night was this muskie I got. Only the second one Ive ever caught, and probably the biggest fish Ive ever caught. 44 inches 22 inch girth, somewhere near 25lbs according to online calculators. Fishing is still pretty good at Clear Lake, although it has slowed some in the last week.

I was up there Sunday. The action on the reefs was pretty slow and the wind made it difficult. The yellows should be coming on strong if we get some heat this week. Every one I've caught this year is good sized.
