Bass are spread all over Contra Loma, and anglers are finding fish using various methods. Some are targeting weeds with frogs or punching creature baits and other soft plastics into the heavy cover. Others are focusing on the outer edges of weeds and points with crankbaits and swimbaits. Either way, the fish aren’t giant, but there’s action to be had. Catfish are being caught off the dock on the north end with anchovies and other cut bait. Bluegill remain active, with the opportunity for bigger slabs this time of year.
