Almaden has been churning out some chunky bass and slap crappie this spring. Anglers are getting bigger bass on jigs and long soft plastic worms, while dropshots and ned rigs are pulling in numbers. Crappie have been extremely active. Live worms and crappie jigs have been best.
As the water warms at Calero, the grass is getting thicker, but so are the bass! Quality fish are being caught all over the lake, with a couple of reports of fish just over 7 pounds. Stick baits, creature baits, and jigs have been producing the biggest bites. Finesse soft-plastics, either Texas...
As the water warms at Calero, the grass is getting thicker, but so are the bass! Quality fish are being caught all over the lake, with a couple of reports of fish just over 7 pounds. Stick baits, creature baits, and jigs have been producing the biggest bites. Finesse soft-plastics, either Texas-rigged or drop-shotted, are working for numbers. There has also been a consistent frog bite, especially during the transitional parts of the day.
Uvas currently has a solid bass and crappie bite. Baits that stay in the middle of the water column the longest, such as weightless Senkos and suspended jerkbaits, are getting the most bites. A few 4+ pounders have been reported recently. Crappie action is good on jigs and small live worms.
The water levels are high and stable. And both the largemouth and crappie are loving it. Bass action has been good with soft plastics and swimbaits, although not too many fish over 3 pounds. The crappie bite is currently excellent. Look for structure in as deep of water as possible.
Bass are in spawn mode. Anglers are getting the most action either sight fishing for beds or casting shallow. Crankbaits and soft plastics have been getting the most action. A few big fish have been spotted as well.
Uvas's water conditions are improving, but still not ideal. A few bass have been reported, and a light crappie bite has started. But overall, the fishing is still hit and miss.
