Spring Clearlake Fishing With A-Rigs

Come along with Matt as he throws Alabama Rigs on Clearlake during the Prespawn for hungry Spring Bass! 

The Alabama Rig is an amazing way to catch Springtime bass as they bulk up for the spawn. The A-rig lets you cover water quickly while picking off both big bass and small bass at once. There are very few lures that appeal to all sizes of bass like the Alabama Rig does.

Catching Bass From Kayaks on Clearlake

Bass fishing from the kayak is awesome! Clearlake's closure gave us the perfect opportunity to get out, paddle around, and catch some bass. Come along for the ride!

Fishing from the bass boat is a blast but there is something special about being out on a small boat without a motor. The roar of an outboard engine takes away from the overall fishing experience. Kayaking can be as exciting or relaxing as you want it to be without the harsh sounds and movement of the larger boats. 

If you're on the fence about giving it a try, you absolutely need to! Not only is it peaceful, it gives you access to areas you could never reach by boat. The backsides of cover, ponds, streams, etc... all become viable options when you're in the smaller boat. Don't wait, head to the lake and try out a kayak. You might just catch a giant!
