http://www.countyofsb.org/parks/cachuma.sbcBoth Largemouth and Smallmouth bass bit well last week on top waters, as well as shallow cranks and most shad imitations. Trout turned on a bit as well and leadcore fished 5 to 6 colors with Rapalas seemed to be the most productive. Drifting 'crawlers by the dam also accounted for some nice hold-over fish.
Catfish are still biting well on cut mackerel and packaged baits in the backs of coves. Crappie are hitting mini jigs and mealworms in Santa Cruz, and Cachuma Bays. Bowfishing was good at times in the am and pm hours and some archers reported 20 fish days. Bluegill are located in the backs of coves and are holding tight to structure.

Bass fishing is still good on top waters early and late. Use medium cranks and plastics during the afternoon. ......

High winds and cooler temperatures slowed the bass bite a bit, although limit style fishing was still on tap. Shallow cranks, as well as a variety of plastics accounted for the bulk of the smallies and largies. Catfish were still being caught in coves with creek channels in 3' to 10' of water on cut mackerel and dough baits. Some nice hold-over rainbows showed up last week and an 8 lb. "tail walker" was weighed in at the marina. ......
