Summer 2020 Summer 2020 Hi Anglers I hope you and your family are doing fine and hopefully back to fishing the lakes you enjoy. The summer fishing season is finally here – something many of us have been excitedly waiting for during the forced hiatus. It is very nice to see some normalcy returning to our fishing industry. Thanks to all of our readers for sharing their fishing adventures in the forums. To kick off the season, our summer issue features one of the many anglers that contributes to essential workers in these challenging times. WesternBass wants to thank Clara as well as the many, many others. Please keep your local mom and pop businesses and the people and places that support them, in mind for your needs. We are all on the road to recovery together! Good luck on the water! Wayne
Spring 2020
Spring 2020 Hi Anglers Once again, I am putting the finishing touches on the WesternBass.com Magazine wondering where the time has gone. The new season has kicked off for many of our tournament circuits and big bass are already starting to show up. As we’ve seen in the WesternBass. com forums there are already double-digits and even teeners starting to bite. It is always an exciting time of year and we are looking forward to what 2020 will bring. I hope all of you are enjoying our quarterly magazine. We have continued to bring the latest in technology along with great articles and video content for your enjoyment. I want to also thank all our site viewers and mag readers for their support and invite you all to support our site advertisers. They are the reason we can bring you the content that we do. Also, I want to wish everyone good luck in their fishing goals this year, whether it is in tournament competition or fun fishing weekend warriors. Good Fishing Wayne
Winter 2020
Winter 2020 Hi Anglers Another full year of fishing is wrapping up and the excitement of the new season is already starting to hit us. WesternBass will again be the sponsor of the nationally renowned International Sportsmen’s Expo Aquarium tank in January. Be sure and stop by and check out the line-up of bass pros that will be available to share tips and tricks to catch more and bigger fish! Be sure to also stop by the Fisherman’s Warehouse Megastore booth. Last years show had many super specials and this years show should be even larger. We are ready to help kick off the new year of tournaments for our circuit sponsors, Angler’s Press, Best Bass Tournaments and Wild West Bass Trail and are looking forward to seeing what catches that 2020 bring for our fellow anglers. Lastly, I would like to wish all of you a happy and healthy holiday season and new personal bests on the end of all of your lines. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Good Fishing Wayne

Lake Reports

New Melones Lake
New Melones Lake By Fished Angel's arm from 6:30 pm - 11:30 pm. Bite was dead until dusk when I picked up a 1.5-2.0 lb fish on a jig. After dark, got 2 more on a jig.1-1.5 lbs. I got no bites on any other lure. Bite died about 2 hours after dark. Maybe Mondays are a bad day to go since a guide (drives ChampioN) said there was maybe 500 boats on the lake the day before (Sunday). Or, maybe the fishing is just lousy or maybe I'm not fishing in the right places.
Berryessa Lake
Berryessa Lake By Fishing with Sid Mon 2020-07-27 22:38 The Lake Berryessa News This past week NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement honored Alfonso and his family at Steele Park. Alfonso's wish was a day spent fishing at the lake and enjoying time with his family. I was honored to take members of his family out fishing and to spend the day with them (see photos). I went out with Bob and he landed some nice bass (see photo). The fishing was off during the day with no signs of activity at all till late evening when the sun started to set and the surface water started to cool down and then the action started. We did much better then the day time. Hopefully the day bite will pick up. 'til next time...……………………………………..good fishing!!! If you have any questions or stories yo would like to share or are interested in booking a guided fishing trip please email me at bestguide@hotmail.com or call me at 650-583-3333. Thanks, Sid
