DON PEDRO
Water temperature: 78-82
Water clarity: good, some stain from boat traffic
This body of water has been one of the most consistent throughout the year given the major influx of water in all of our Mother Lode reservoirs. And, is where we have been catching our best quality fish. Some topwater, good finesse for size and numbers and an occasional giant bite for the swimbait tossing.
Getting an early start is very important during the warmer months. Each morning we offer topwater, walking baits and ploppers. As the sun comes up switching to finesse has been a good choice. Wacky rigged stick baits, tubes and Texas rigs are a good selection. Once the wind starts to blow a crankbait or spinnerbait can do the trick.
And, for those looking for a big swimbait bite, that is all to toss for the trip. We are looking for one big bite. If you stick with it you have a chance for a big one!
Berah McSwain landed a 9-pound GIANT while tossing a trout patterned swimbait on an evening half day.
I’m currently offering half day mornings and evenings when we are seeing triple-digits. For those who want to learn the gill-glidebaits, over-sized topwater swimbaits, and others? Now is as good of time as any.
For those interested in just catching fish, we can offer a full breakdown on bass theory, bait selections and more.
Seasonal tips:
Look for stained water (mudlines) created by boating traffic. Bass will use the low visibility to hunt. Baits that rattle, vibrate or flash work best.
Best time to go fishing is anytime you can!
