ok i’m biting too. What are yellows and shorteyes??
May 12, 2011 at 12:16 am #965387Yes Mike means Yellow Bass, Clear lake is full of them.
May 12, 2011 at 10:39 am #965477Wading the island or from a boat?
May 12, 2011 at 2:47 pm #965544I’m sure both. This time of year you can catch them real shallow as they get ready to spawn. We catch them off our dock by the dozens. Contests to see how many casts in a row you can catch one. First 15 feet or so out from the bank. They come thru in packs usually males chasing a female or two.
May 12, 2011 at 9:58 pm #965697Yes yellow bass and sub legal walleyes and you can choose how you want to catch them wade or take the boat. They aren’t quite up on the shore yet just a little ways out and they eat anything they can fit in there mouth. I suggest chartruese of anything you can put on a jig thats 1/16 oz. or lighter and that is under 2″ long about an 1″ to 1.5″ is the best size plastic for these tastey panfish. And remember the DNR says don’t throw any back so there the perfect fish to keep for a few fish fries.
May 15, 2011 at 2:30 am #936352Did the cold front shut things down? Thinking about heading up there tomorrow.
May 20, 2011 at 9:27 pm #967652Thought the yellows would be biting today but fishing was terible.
