San Pablo’s running hot with catfish… easy pickings off the docks and near Scow Canyon where they’re stacking up in the deeper slots. A second 3,000-pound catfish plant last week should keep the bite rolling into late spring. Look for tagged fish and grab discounts at the marina.

Bass are finally starting to wake up too. Spotted bass are hitting underspins and Keitechs near shad schools, which are starting to bunch up across the lake. Water’s sitting at 62°. Boaters are still benched with the launch closed to all private vessels (golden mussel prevention).
