http://www.countyofsb.org/parks/cachuma.sbcCatfish dominated the action this week, as many anglers reported limits or near limits to 7 lbs. Mackerel accounted for the most kitties, but packaged dough baits and nightcrawlers also caught fish. The best areas were the back of Cachuma Bay, the narrows and Clark canyon. Both largemouth and smallmouth bass tapered off this week and are holding in 15 to 20 ft. of water and are taking drop shot plastics, spinnerbaits and an occasional early morning spook or popper. There are still a few trout showing up around the dam area on dodger/crawler combos fished to 8 colors early, and drifting worms in the late afternoon and evening has been putting some nice bows in the bag. Crappie are in the narrows , the back of Cachuma Bay and Harveys Bay. They are biting on mini jigs tipped with either a crappie nibble or a crawler. Bow fishing has been good in the early mornings at the mouth of Clark canyon and at the wall between Bobcat canyon and Santa Cruz Bay.

Catfish are in coves and......
