Fishing Report Camanche Trifecta and a 12 Plus
Fishing Report Camanche Trifecta and a 12 Plus
Today we started throwing reaction baits first thing in the morning. Derik caught the first fish, A SMALLMOUTH, on a Bass Union double buzzbait! First smallmouth I’ve seen in a few years!
I caught a few spots on a popper, and Casey started getting a few on a Ned Bait Big TRD on A Frenzy Baits Nail.
After the first few hours fishing became very challenging, but we did end up with a trifecta; a smallmouth,a spot, and a largemouth!
It seems like fishing is better the first few hours in the morning, after that we got one here and there, but no good pattern.
The surface water temperature was 76°.
The water clarity was about 8 feet in most areas.
The South Shore ramp is a little rough, but not as long as a walk as the North Shore ramp.
Remember the lake is very low and there’s still a few obstructions that are not marked. Be careful!
And a big shout out to my good buddy Earl Dalton for making the APEX!!
I Hope this helps!
Good luck fishing!

Great photo!!
Congrats on a GREAT photo of a GREAT bass from Camanche!!
I used to fish that lake a lot when I still lived in San Jose. Never caught one that big there,
but that was when the lake was very young. 12's didn't exist then!
I was fortunate to fish the lake before it was open to the public. No monster bass then however.
Fished it with Troy Brawley, the manager of the southern rec area and maker of one of the first well-known
jigs - the BRAWLEY BUG! Did fish the overflow Rabbit Creek lake, er, pond. Big bass!
Once again - perfect photo. Good lighting, not too much scenery, just you and your prize!!
