This week Isabella fell to 58 percent of capacity and continues to release water. The bass fishing here really improved this past week. They finally started showing in greater numbers. Our contacts reported the best action was off points in deeper water with green pumpkin baby brush hogs and Senko’s. In shallow water, flukes and small shad imitation crankbaits like the DT8 or DT10 have been scoring in the early hours. Later in the day the larger bucket mouths have been fooled with deep crankbaits. Crappie remain biting at a steady pace in 10-feet of water off points and near structure. Red’s Marina continues to be the best bet throwing small shiners or minijigs. Whiskerfish are being caught near Camp 9 with SSS Dip Bait, nightcrawlers and cut baits. Anglers continue to score trout from shore and offshore. Shore anglers have been finding them with floating baits, spinners and trout jigs. Offshore, anglers trolling Tasmanian Devils, Needlefish and Flicker Shad have been fooling trout with some of these fish going over 4 pounds.
