The two West Coast anglers sit down to talk about their experiences fishing Clear Lake throughout their careers, from growing up around the legendary fishery to competing there at the highest levels. They share some of their favorite memories, what they’ve learned from the lake over the years, and why Clear Lake continues to stand out as one of the greatest bass fisheries anywhere. But the biggest topic of the conversation is the upcoming 2026 Clear Lake Yamamoto Tournament, beginning October 24.
With anglers limited to Yamamoto baits, Fred and Cody discuss how they think the tournament could unfold. What will the bass be doing in late October? Where will anglers need to look? Which Yamamoto baits could become tournament-winning players? And most importantly, what will it take to win?
Cody and Fred break down the seasonal conditions, potential patterns, bait choices, and strategies they believe could make the difference when tournament day arrives.
Whether you’ve fished Clear Lake for years or have never had the chance to experience it, this episode gives you an inside look at the lake, the fishery, and what could be in store for the 2026 Clear Lake Yamamoto Tournament.
