    Default Clinton lake


    Anyone been to Clinton lake lately. Going to head there this weekend for a little family time and fishing of course! Water temps are probably high any suggestions of where to start?

    Lots of looks but no comments. I didn't catch anything to keep, saw a lot of jumping bait fish, but family had a good time tubing. water temp at 100* near discharge area.

    I talked to one of my buddies dads Saturday who started fishing Clinton pretty regularly for largemouth and he said the last time he was out there someone was hitting them pretty good. But as far as what baits or anything he didn't have a clue

    I have only been Bass fishing. I have not seen anyone fishing for Crappie. Bass are shallow to 10' feet deep Good luck I would recommend fishing the main lake laydowns hanging in the channel. From the marina South. Or across from marina bank
