The trout is still going off with stringers averaging about 8 lbs. Despite the warm water temperature, flat lining Rapalas of every color and pattern are working best for trollers. Chartreuse dough bait, chrome kastmasters, and worms are the best bet for shore fishermen around the marina area. The bass have also been hitting trolling kures on the grassy flat just west of Lil Cachuma. Pearl white and green pumpkin plastics fished in the 8-15ft range off of the flats have produced limits of both small and largemouth. Though the heaviest catfish reported this week only hit 2.5 lbs. many smaller cats were caught in Bobcat canyon and Cachuma Bay on nightcrawlers and mackerel.

Water Temperature: 65 Degrees

Catfish: Fair
Trout: Good
