Winter 2022 Hi All, What a 2021 we’ve had! Wow! Did Ken Mah close out the year?!?!?! That was very fun to watch! It is great to be kicking off a new fishing season! The winter always gets me thinking about Shasta where many of the western tournament circuits start their new year. Whether you are fun fishing or tournament fishing or a spectator, it is always exciting to think about what is in store for the West and what new fish tales we will have to talk about! As always, we at WesternBass ask that you take a look at our sponsors and know that they are the ones that keep our site going! They support the fishing industry, and we encourage you to support the ones that support our sport! May you and your family have a safe and GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON! Tight lines,Thank you all for your support and good luck on the water! Wayne

Oroville Lake By WB Staff by LookoutRanch » Fri Aug 12, 2022 1:09 pm Catching fish won’t be an issue. Most finesse the techniques are easy to have 30+ fish days. Graph before dropping lines, bait is everywhere.

California Delta By Eric c I picked up 2 of my regular clients Ivan and Al at orwood.at 6am. We tried top water with no catches entire day. Top water has died down for me however I here they are catching them on frogs in the tournament. My area had recently been sprayed and the mats are no longer green. We got off to a quick start once we picked up the jerk baits. Probably 25 fish caught in the 6 hours while fishing jerk baits. Pointer 100 and vision 110 in shad colors. We also caught a few on a senko,drop shot, and a chatter bait. 35+ fish caught in all and our best 5 went 15 pounds. If your looking to get out and catch fish Direct message me for booking availability. Eric
