Many limits of bass were caught this week. With the water temperature in the mid 60's, ideal conditions for bedding bass, most were caught in the 5-15 range. Rattletraps, plastic worms, jigs, crankbaits and spinner baits did the trick. Though averaging 2.25 lbs, a few 4-5 lb. largemouth were caught in Cachuma Bay. The catfish bit the best in Johnson Bay and Clark Canyon on standard stink bait and worm set ups. Crappie were tougher to catch this week in bulk but jigs and mealwormsworked well off on Santa Cruz point and the many tree stumps at the east end of the lake.

The crappie made a good showing this week on the east end of the lake. Multiple anglers were able to anchor up and bring in between 6-10 fish each primarily on jigs paired with a crappie nibble. The bass continues to bite the best off of the lunch station. Most are being caught about 15ft deep on senkos, spinners, and nightcrawlers. Catfish hit the best in 7-11am and 4-6pm range in virtually every inlet on the lake this week....... Read More
