Topwater Fishing Clearlake Before The Big Move! (Special Guest!)

Matt is headed to Tennessee but not before one last slugfest on Clearlake! Today he hops on the boat with Ross England to stick some fish before the big move! Come along as the guys chase a topwater frog bite in the morning then follow it up with jigs, creatures, and underspins! 

Its going to be a few months before Matt and Tim return to California so Matt couldn't miss the chance to catch a few more fish with Ross before leaving town. The bite was strong despite a ton of tournament boats on the water, and the guys wasted no time putting together a solid Summer pattern. The key this morning was fishing outside corners of cover with a frog. The fish weren't in the pockets, they were right out on the points hunting small baitfish as they passed by. 

Once the sun got overhead the bite shut down but Ross was quick to adapt to an underspin to fire the bite back up. Matt utilized a creature bait to cover water as the temperatures climbed and between them, the guys continued catching fish until midday. 

Below you'll find a breakdown of the baits and equipment used in today's video. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. Additionally, we've included a link to Ross' Guide Service if you're interested in spending a day fishing Clearlake while Matt and Tim are out of the area.
