Berryessa fishing report

Finnaly was able to get on the lake. Water temp was from mid to high 60s.
We found fish working on baitballs all over the place but couldn't get a reaction bite going. Only hooked one fish on a crankbait after they busted the surface chasing bait and i through right in their but he came off.
The only way we managed to catch them was on drop shots and caroline rigged worms around the bait.
We didn't catch a lot but had a couple of nice 3+lb spotts and a 3+lb largmouth.
Fish and baitballs where in about 30 feet of water.
The cold weather and rain in the future might push them closer to shore and maybe get that fall bite/reaction bite going.
Hope that helps and tight lines

Did you try spooning?

I threw a spoon around the baitballs too but nothing - don't ask me why.
