Despite the hot weather this week, a wide variety of fish were caught all throughout the clay. Trout are still hitting Rapalas, Kastmasters, and Needlefish like clockwork but with the increasing water temperature, anglers were having to experiment with different depths anywhere from 6ft to 25ft. The catfish have been very active recently and biting a wide variety of baits including mackerel, nightcrawlers, dough balls, and even gold Kastmasters in murky waters. Santa Cruz and Cachuma Bay produced the most limits of cats this week. Working the bank along Jack Rabbits Flats is the way to go for a stellar bass bite. Spinners and deep cranks seemed to be the go-to lures for the anglers catching their limit. Even the crappie made a good showing on the east end of the lake in the earlier morning and later evening. The large amount of tree stumps and structure is a little hazardous for boats but allows for excellent panfish habits.
