Docks
Clearwater is usually a hit or miss the last few seasons. One of your best bets if you want to have an overall decent day is to hit as many docks as you can! Docks play a huge part in your success on that lake especially with haze in the morning, or high sun throughout the day. Run to the reeds and look for the reeds with the tightest clumps, and I feel most of the better fish ambush around these larger clumps/walls of reeds. The best bite used to be the milfoil bite, but over the last few years most of the milfoil has been sprayed and killed, thus bass spreading out a lot more all over the lake instead of schooling up.

Using my Omnia C-Map to find hard bottom areas, I targeted specifically those areas that had a ledge. Then I would cast around and quickly determine if the weeds were still healthy in the area, and when so there would always be active, aggressive 2-3 lb bass and pike. Most of the time the boat would be in about 10-12 ft and I would cast up into 4-7ft.
