Clear Lake Day 1: I Was on Them Early… And the Big Ones Showed Up

Clear Lake was just named Bassmaster Magazine’s No. 1 bass lake in America for the second year in a row, and Day 1 of the Bassmaster Kayak Series showed exactly why this lake has that reputation. Day 1 at Clear Lake was a wild one. I swapped the lead multiple times throughout the day and put together the kind of bag that had me right in the mix going into Day 2. In this video, I break down how the day unfolded, the bites I got, the patterns I leaned on, and how Clear Lake set up during the tournament. The flipping bite around the tules played a big role, but every fish mattered against one of the best fields in kayak bass fishing.
