They’re aggressive right now, especially around points and rocky banks. Natural-colored Flukes and Senkos are also drawing bites...fewer hits, but the size is better. Most fish are in the 1-pound...

They’re aggressive right now, especially around points and rocky banks. Natural-colored Flukes and Senkos are also drawing bites...fewer hits, but the size is better. Most fish are in the 1-pound range, but a few 2–3 pounders are mixed in.

Most fish are under 3 pounds, but there was a report of a 10+ pounder caught two weeks ago. Squarebill crankbaits and topwater lures are a great place to start... then switch to finesse soft...
Piru continues its excellent bass fishing this summer. Some local anglers say they are "biting everything," which is quite the high praise for any water. Most fish are under 3 pounds, but there was a report of a 10+ pounder caught two weeks ago. Squarebill crankbaits and topwater lures are a great place to start... then switch to finesse soft-plastics if the reaction bite slows. Jigs are also producing the biggest fish.
