Trout and catfish topped the charts this week as limits were caught from both boats and the shorelines. Trolling by the dam is still the best bet for boaters while E Point and the launch point were the hot spots for shore fisherman. Rapalas, Kastmasters, and Flicker Shad lures brought in trout like clockwork. Nightcrawlers and greenpumpkin trout dough worked the best from the banks. Catfish bit mackerel and worms in every cove on the lake this week and even hit on spinners at the mouth of Clark Canyon. The smallmouth bite was great on the west end of E Point for shore fishermen while The Flats continue to be the best area for both smallies and largies. Cody Uhrig, Manager at Cachuma Marina
