Nacimiento Lake Spotted Bass

This was a quick trip after work on a weekday. We fished roughly from 5pm to 8pm and did well right before dark on topwater baits like the Zaraspook and Buzzbaits.

Spring Nacimiento Lake Spotted Bass Fishing

Quick morning trip, only one fish on the shakey head with Zoom trick worm. Deeper water, probably around 20ft.

Santa Margarita Lake Crappie Fishing

Fished for only maybe 30 minutes, got this crappie on a small white plastic jig.

Nacimiento Lake Fishing

This was the first time taking my daughter on the lake, so fishing was not the focus, but got this small guy fishing a spinnerbait in Snake Creek.

Winter / Spring California Perch Fishing

The perch fishing in Central California seems to be the best in late winter / early spring.

I went out to several beaches several times with no luck.

Finally I bit the bullet and bought some Gulp Camo Sandworms at 6.99 a pack.

I finally found a beach with a steep drop off ( different than the super flat beaches I was previously fishing...)

Sure enough, the fish were holding and biting. It was nearly a bit every cast, sometimes very subtle so they were easy to miss!

I focused on fishing high tides and did well!
