Lake Camanche - CA

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!

Brandon’s second post to FB, “Man what an epic day at #LakeCamanche went with a couple of co-workers and my buddies dad to show them how we troll. We were on the water by 6:45 and went straight for Big Hat Island. Put out six rods 4 on the downriggers ranging from 5-20′ and two rods on the surface all trolling Speedy Shiners in various colors with some ProCure scent gel on them. The action was non stop every 20 min we were catching fish, sometimes multiple hookups. The biggest came in at 6 pounds followed by some other fatties along the way. We trolled the island to dam triangle at speeds of 2.8-3.1 m.p.h. We called it a day at 1 pm when the bite finally died but not before landing one last fish on the downrigger bringing the total fish count for the day to 13! The picture shows 12 cuz I forgot one in the live well on accident. All in all, today was a FANTASTIC day and we all had a great time with 27 pounds of fish to end the day.​”

Brandon Pekarek posted on FB 4/7 and wrote, “Hit Lake Camanche again today with my son and my buddy Ron. In the water at 6:30 and straight for Big Hat Island. Trolled speedy shiners at 14′ at 2.8 mph and had multiple takedowns, sometimes even doubles. We landed the first 6 in less than 2 hours and then finished the day with 3 more for a total of 9. Off the water by noon because It was hot as hell out today and lots of boats. All in all a great day with my son and my work buddy. Answered Question: yesterday the majority of the fish were caught on variations of orange colored lures. But the week before when we caught 13 there was no particular color pattern.”

Clark Trezona was out with his grandson on 3/30 and shared these photos on FB. Clark wrote, “Fishing at Lake Camanche today. Managed to get 5 to the boat, the bite stopped for us after my boy got this 7.45# beauty on board. It was an unforgettable catch for my grandson Cires Aviles! He certainly got bragging rights today!”
