Where are the yellow bass on Clear Lake?

[Selmer]

A friend and I are planning on heading for Clear Lake on Wednesday to chase yellow bass. It will be my last outing of the season as I'm having shoulder surgery on Friday. I could use some tips on where to go for the bass and what to use, jigs, baits, etc., I've never caught them, but I hear they are a blast. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just look for the crowd! Stop at the Dome bait shop on the northwest shore and Jim can tell you what's going on and where.

I was there last Saturday (1/10/04). I tried the north side first, was marking fish but no takers. I then moved to the west side by the aerators, within 20-30 yards of open water, ice was 5-6 inches. Was slow until around 4:00 then it really picked up. They were hitting the smallest jiggin rap in rainbow color tipped with a minnow head, I also had a green forage minnow tipped with a waxworm on a bobber but not a bite on that set up. I suggest staying away from the crowds. Nothing more disturbing then seeing fish come in only to have a gas auger start up within 10 feet of you spooking the fish. Good luck!
