We held our first annual Cope's Tackle and Rod Shop Customer Appreciation Bass Tournament at Lake Nacimiento this past weekend. The turnout was fantastic and anglers had a great time wrangling good numbers of both Largemouth and Spotted Bass. Billy Moore and Bob Barter took first place with a monster 15.62lb bag that included a behemoth 8-1/2lb Largemouth Bass! Bass were taken on a wide variety of baits. Anglers reported having the most luck on wacky rigged Senkos, Neko rigged worms, Roboworms dropshotted, and Shakey head worms. The bigger fish seemed to be more keyed in on reaction baits with most of the large bass falling for crankbaits and jerkbaits in shad patterns. Fish were caught in depths from 2-40ft. The lake is holding at 11% and most creeks and arms are now out of water. Anglers also reported good action on redear sunfish, crappie, and white bass. Most of the action was reported in deeper water. Anglers reported intermittent boils of white bass. During the boils anglers were able to hook up using Kastmasters, topwater, and jerkbaits. A developing vertical spoon bite using baitfish patterned spoons has also been reported. Bluegill and redear sunfish held near structure with redworms, mealworms, and nightcrawler pieces getting bite. Catfish ate cut bait and dip bait last week.
