Catfish at Clear Lake, CA


Took the family out to Clear Lake, CA and we caught some big catfish.  The best time to catch them is early morning before sunrise.  We had a great time, and planning to go back there in my boat this weekend.  If we do, I'm going to try to target crappies as well.

The locals tell me that catfishing is good year round, and that any bait will work. 

I used raw shrimp baited on a Carolina rig, and we fished off the bottom.  I've caught them from the bank and from a boat, and from all different locations.  It seems that it doesn't matter where you go, you can easily catch catfish at Clear Lake.  However, night time seems to be the optimal time as that's when they bite the most.
