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
Winter 2019
Winter 2019 Hi Anglers! Here we are ready to kick off another year of fishing. Every time I write this letter to the WesternBass. com Magazine readers, it amazes me how the time flies. The rain is forecasted for us soon and hopefully, it will fill the lakes for springtime fishing that we are looking forward to. As I wrap this greeting up, I would like to ask you to support the advertisers that keep this magazine and site available for you. WesternBass couldn’t do it without them. We appreciate them for allowing us to keep the bass fishing info coming to you and we appreciate your support of us and of our sponsors. In closing, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I send my best wishes to those that are dealing with the devastation that the California fires have caused. It has been a rough year(s) for many in our state. Best wishes to all and hope you have a great fishing year! Wayne
Fall 2018
Fall 2018 Hi All, I’ve said it many times; however, it is worth repeating... I cannot believe how fast the seasons fly by and fall and TOC time is once again upon us. I look forward to watching the championships play out and the new victors take their stage. With many of the schedules for the circuits already announced, it is exciting to again think of the events that will take place, especially with the Bassmaster Elite Series returning for a western swing. Will our hometown guys claim the trophies, or will a traveler take them home? I hope all of our readers in the fires areas a safe and speedy recovery back to your homes and business’s its just been a crazy year for these catastrophes and I know we just want to get them behind us! As I close, I want to thank all of the readers that support WesternBass.com Magazine and the WesternBass.com website as well as all the readers that support our sponsors. Without them, none of this would be possible as a free source of bass fishing fun, info and camaraderie for all of us! Wayne

Lake Reports

Berryessa Lake
Berryessa Lake By We fished from 12:30pm to 7pm. Water was more stained than usual. Launched off Putah Creek Campground and stayed in the general vicinity. It was a fun style of fishing, largies and smallies were biting near shallow cover. Best 5 about 10lbs. 21 fish total. Nothing special considering 50-100 fish days here are possible, but fun nonetheless.
Bullards Bar Lake
Bullards Bar Lake By Fished Bullards yesterday, and caught a fair number of fish but no big ones. Biggest went just shy of 2 lbs. Nearly all of them came right up against the bank. The lake is the fullest I've ever seen it. Launched at the dam and the water is probably 10 feet below the top of the dam.
