Decided to give Clear Lake a try as I have never fished it before. Began fishing about 8 am and finished about 12:30. Was planning to troll in my raft but way to windy. Fished from shore using Elgin Fishing God's Tooth spoons. God blessed with 4 fish: two 2 pounders, one 3 pounder and one 4 pounder. The photos are the 3 and 4 pounders. All fished released to fight again. Three fish caught on pink/nickel and one on orange/nickel set on slow action. Did manage to troll in raft for about 30 min before leaving but had no action. Met some nice folks out there. Wishing all tight lines!

Hi Fish-On,

I was not using any weight, just casting from shore. When trolling I don't use weight until fish are deeper than 5 ft below the surface which usually is around mid May or so after the lakes are planted. As to speed, I troll usually on speed setting 1 as I have a 30lb thrust trolling motor on a raft. Sorry, but I can only guess I'm doing about 1.5 mph give or take. Thank you for your appreciation of my reports!
