Summer 2024 Summer 2024 Hi all, Welcome to another summer season of WesternBass.com Magazine. The summer issue marks our 13th anniversary of the introduction of the WesternBass mag and always a great time of year. We love to see the big bass that come by way of topwater, and punching, as well as those later stage spawners and who knows what will come from the catches with Forward Facing Sonar this year! Summer always brings the ICAST show and the new products for our industry. It is always exciting and something we all look forward to! We would like to welcome our newest site advertiser Bridgford Foods. They are not only a WesternBass advertiser. Their meat snacks are a new addition to the Fisherman’s Warehouse in-store product line. Bridgford is a great supporter of the sport, and we are fortunate to have them onboard! Speaking of which, do you have Bridgford in your boat? Thanks to Bridgford for joining us and all of the WesternBass site advertisers. Remember, who they are and always we encourage you to support those, who support us and the sport that we all love! Tight Lines,Tight Lines! Wayne
Spring 2024
Spring 2024 Hi all, Spring is always a great time of year! New season, fresh start of AOY points, and the big bass of the spawn! At WesternBass we are excited to welcome new site advertisers and express our appreciation for those that return. They are, after all, the reason why we are able to bring you the magazine and the site. It was great to see the BAM Trail start their new start their new trail and a big CONGRATULATIONS to Greg and his Frenzy Baits Nail! Our WesternBass title sponsor, Fisherman’s Warehouse and FishermansWarehouse.com is the BAM Tournament Trail’s Conservation Sponsor and, speaking of Fisherman’s Warehouse, we want to thank everyone that aided in the law enforcement effort to catch the person(s) responsible for the thefts. The community support was amazing, and we would also like to thank all of you that checked out the new Rocklin location of Fisherman’s Warehouse! I am anxiously waiting to see all those big bass that will be ready to eat any day now. Be sure and share photos with us here on WesternBass. Tight Lines,Tight Lines! Wayne

Lake Reports

California Delta
California Delta By Launched at safelight from the East Delta on a high outgo. Targeted the main river for emergent grass. Caught a couple on topwater but they were small. Tried the bends on the main river to figure out if they were set up in front or behind the current. Ran that the better part of the north to the south for a couple dozen on topwater. Bite got a lot tougher aftter the tide switch.
California Delta
California Delta By Hi all... Launched out of Lazy M yesterday evening. Went North to Holland Cut and it was pretty windy when i arrived. Started with a white spinnerbait around tule's. ( I can't spell toolies...lol) Caught some decent fish with that. The tide was still going out around 3 or 4. So I started throwing the ol topwater.... boooooom booooom booooom....never put it down the rest of the day. Amazing topwater bite is happening now. The water is warm, the frogs are croaking at dusk. Just an amazing place to be in my mind. (most of you know what i speak of) Just amazing..!! I will be honest, when I was younger I used to follow Dee to see where he would go. He knew I was following him...But he always would stop and talk about the 'Amazing' opportunities there are to catch fish. Most of my spots are his, and I respect the fact that they were shared with me. So I owe a lot to that man. His spots will be in my Lowrance(mind) for as long as I am here. And let me tell you that they produce good fish almost every time I visit them. Thanks for the knowledge Sir. I caught some fish and remembered where I came from. Thanks for reading my banter...Love you all.

Amid my prep for an upcoming trip to Trinity Lake, I was reminded that many of us anglers struggle to effectively prepare for upcoming trips, especially regarding bodies of water we are unfamiliar with. Over the course of my past few tournament seasons, I have been able to travel to many bodies of water including […]
