Fall 2019 Fall 2019 Hi Anglers At WesternBass we had a great summer filled with lots of topwater and frogs and of course, the biggest annual event for the sport – ICAST. We hope you enjoyed our coverage with a former Delta favorite –Bobby Barrack. We are anxious to see many of the products that we saw first-hand at the show come to store shelves – especially the long-awaited Ghost Trolling Motor from Lowrance. As we look forward to the fall transition, we are excited to see the grand opening of our partners Fisherman’s Warehouse and their new Megastore in Fairfield. Watch for exclusive gear and colors offered only at their locations, such as the Dee Thomas Flippin’ Stick, the Duo Realis 120SP in Smokey Bone, the G-Ratt Sneaky Pete in Bone and the “Glow in the Dark” Brad’s Super Cut Plug and watch for more to come. Lastly as another summer passes and the fall feed up is on the horizon, we anticipate seeing many big bags and awesome catches. Thanks for sharing them with us, supporting the site and the sponsors that keep us here. Good Fishing! Wayne
Summer 2019
Summer 2019 Hi Anglers, Another season, another issue of WesternBass.com Magazine! I hope all the rain and weather has put some productive fishing in front of us all. I am especially looking forward to frog fishing season. It is always an explosive time of year! The whole WesternBass team is also anxious to head out to ICAST again to help bring you the best of what is to come for our industry. I also want to announce that even before ICAST, a new release that will hit the market with a must-have fishing rod. Designed by the Father of Flippin’ of himself, Dee Thomas, this new rod was created and tested to every specification of the legend himself. They will be available as a limited run, exclusively at Fisherman’s Warehouse, one of the WesternBass sponsors. With that being said, I would like remind everyone that the support of our sponsors is what keeps WesternBass available for us all. Please support our sponsors as they support us and the sport that we love. Good Fishing! Wayne
Spring 2019
Spring 2019 Hi Anglers It seems each season when we go to “print”, I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. It is no different with this spring. One third of the year has already passed and I’ve been busy making travel plans for the year’s biggest industry event – ICAST. I’m looking forward to it! With all of the rain, the spring looks like it will bring a helluva fishing season. It is great to see the lakes full and some pictures of some big ones already being shown off. As we know there have been a lot of changes within the industry competition this past year and it is exciting to see how it plays out! As you follow your favorites, please consider the WesternBass site and supporting our magazine sponsors. They are the reason that we can bring you the content that we do. Good Fishing! Wayne

Lake Reports

California Delta
California Delta By by Kyle46N » Sun Sep 15, 2019 8:44 pm Anyone see any salmon in tbe sloughs off the Mokolumne yet? I was up there 3 weeks ago, and not a fish to be seen. I have 1 or 2 more trips to the Delta before I head to Afghanistan again. Hoping to put the kids on a slough salmon. I will say, the bass were chewin red squarebills along any rocks in the river though. We caught a ton after we realized the salmon were not there yet. That'll be the plan again this week. Thanks!
Oroville Lake
Oroville Lake By Kayak fishing for spots at lake Oroville launched at String Town ramp at 6am, fished until 11am, 22 fish, most in the 15” to 17” range with one 18” to 20”. Most of the fish in 40’ to 45’ range a few in the 30’. Submerged rock piles and islands seem the be the best bet. Friday was a great day only saw one boat on the south fork. See fishing forum for pictures.
