Today I took a couple of new friends Darren and Lizzie out to Lake McClure for a day of fun fishing.
We started off in one of the creek channels throwing top water, as there were a lot of smaller fish busting bait on the surface. We had a fun time for the first couple of hours and caught several on top water, as well as a few others on plastics out deeper.
When we had had enough of the smaller fish we decided to go look for the bigger ones, which I have been noticing are moving quite a bit deeper.
We fished main lake points near steep drop off’s with tube baits rugged on 1/4 oz dartheads, made by Fattys Worms, And drop shotted six-inch morning dawn worms.
Once we moved out deeper (50-80’) we did not get nearly as many bites but we found the quality.
We ended the day with around 14lbs for our best 5, with a beautiful spotted bass kicker weighing just over 4 lbs (caught by Lizzie of course!)
Both Lizzie and Darren caught their personal best spotted bass, so it was a great day with great friend.
There is great fishing to be had at all of our Motherlode lakes right now, time to get out there!
