Lake Camanche - CA

Rj Schulze posted these shots on Facebook on 4/28 and reported in the Gold Country Fishing Report, “Camanche has been on fire! Lots of fish in lots of different stages. Shallow fish on beds, post spawn fish on off-shore cover, right now is a great time to get those kids out there and introduce them to Bass fishing!! just remember catch and release is super important especially right now during the spawn. Caught on a ton of different presentations. Throwing reaction (jerkbaits, spinners, cranks) when there’s wind, senkos and shakey heads when its flat seem to be working. Always have a glide bait tied on for hitting those island tops and points. Happy fishing ! ”

This photo of Ray Slocum was sent to by Anna Kammerer. She wrote, ” He caught them at the pond using rainbow power bait. He tried several different power baits but the only rainbow worked. 5/1″

Dave Jans of West Sacramento was out to the lake last Friday. He messaged that he was going after bass “using soft plastics with a slow presentation, near shallow water. He also said the water temps were between 71° and 74° catching both spots and Florida largemouth.”

Janet Maita Jay shared this post on The Gold Country Fishing Report /FB page on May 1st of Lee Jay one of our Camanche residents. He brought in this 9.2 lb. bass but location and bait were not reported.

Brent Tracy Fished yesterday after the plant and landed a couple. Fished today and landed 5. The Rainbows were also hitting today. Landed 3 of those. I do CNR and fish there 3 to 4 times a week. Today they hit on Yellow and White Power Eggs for me. They are out in deeper water.

In total only me and my uncle went so only 10 was the limit. Threw out lime-green powerballs with green chart use power worm and lime-green powerballs and orange power worm. Good Easter fishing day.”

Jerry Yatsko and his son, Evan were out to the Free Fishing Event on Saturday 4/20 and posted these comments, “Great day for all the kids that showed up for the kids free fishing event at Lake Camanche! It was awesome to see so many smiles on the kids’ faces. CA fish and game even showed up handing out novelty fishing licenses to the kids. The Gold Country Jr. Bass Club members volunteered throughout the event and even found time to throw a few casts.” As always, the TMB crankbaits never fail for Evan. A huge THANK YOU to Jerry and all the other Gold Country JR. Bass club for your volunteering at this event. We couldn’t have done do it without you!
