The bass bite is finally showing life. Water temps are in the low 60s and dropping so bass are schooling. Lipless crank bait, shallow-running rip baits and jigs all are producing fish. The key in the north end is finding docks with a couple of feet of water. The southern part of the lake is best fished in the deeper water near rock piles. Live bait is also a good bait. The open ramps are Clear Lake Oaks and Library Park in Lakeport.  Clear Lake Outdoors (707) 262-5852
