Water Temp: 78-82
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Met the wife's San Diego family at Naci for the week of July 13-18. Her family are all skiers and boarders, so figured I would be fishing alone, not always a bad thing. Was surprised to see how low the lake was, though, and I figured it would be tough fishing. Tried plastics first evening across from the marina with no luck. Decided to head back to camp, when I spotted bass chasing shad just outside the north marina 5mph buoys. Tossed out a spook and hooked a fat 2lber and then two more about the same size. Water was glass slick and as soon as the breeze came up the bite disappeared. No luck the next morning in Tablas and the Narrows tossing plastics and topwater. That evening a friend of my brother-in-law and his wife from Arizona wanted a lesson in bass fishing (they are trout fishermen), so I took them to the marina area and tied on a couple of Pop-R's' but the wind blew and we had no luck. Next morning went out alone and found bass busting shad around the south 5mph buoys near the marina. Threw the Pop-R and hooked about ten or so. That evening hooked several more fat ones around the north 5mph buoys with the Pop-R. Next morning my new Arizona trout fishing buddy wanted another shot. We headed to the south 5 mph buoys and after about a 45 minute waiting game we got on bass busting shad on the surface. He caught on quickly and we landed about 30 or so nice fish in the next hour and a half with non-stop action. All in all a nice trip in spite of the 105 degree heat. All fish were released.
City: Redding, CaTips: Fish that were chasing shad on the surface seemed to be in the marina area. Throw a topwater lure in shad pattern right where they have just busted the surface. Don't set the hook until you no longer see your lure and feel weight on the line. They miss it frequently and if you set too soon, you often miss. If the wind comes up try something else as the water has to be like glass.

Report: Went to Naci on sat. the bite was solid, we caught over 50 fish in about 6 hours. Most of the fish were in the 13-15 inch range with one over 16 inches. We caught the fish from 6 inches to 20 feet of water. Main lake points with wind seemed to be the best for us. We also caught some fish around the docks. All but one of our fish came on a drop shot rig. We used 4.5 inch curly tailed robo worms in sexy shad and oxblood red flake.
City: HollisterTips: The bite was a pressure bite. You may feel a slight tick, give it a second, feel the pressure then set the hook.

Report: Well the Lakes coming up its right at the bottom of the new ramp.Started out by the first rock wall on the right and first cast with a pop-r I picked up a small Spot.Fished down a couple hundred feet and picked up four more.Then ran over and fished the coves on the right past Bee rock with 6" Robo worm Texas rigged (Arrons Magic)and cought all the spot's you wanted.All the fish were out on the points and just a little ways into the coves.The farther you went in the worse the fishing.Then I ran down and fished across from Las Tables and switched to cranking all those little cuts with a Wee-r.Not as many fish but all better quality between 2-2-1/2 lbs.Then ran to the back of Las Tables and started at the five mph line.I threw a small 3" Chart.grub and cought 5 more spots three Crappie and two White bass.So I guess what I am saying is the Lake is fishing fantastic.
City: SalinasTips: Just do what I did and take a Kid now is the time.

Report: Well I arrived about 7:00am and it was very calm and warm for this time of year.I figured the Lake would be low becouse I have not been here since Spring.Boy the Lake is LOW and they are letting some out.The River was flowing pretty good as I looked at it driving across the Dam.And as I went over the one lane bridge over the San Antoinio River it was flowing at full pool,bank to bank not good.Well the fishing was ok I did catch 9 spot's and all were over 15" and three were 18" so the size was very good for here.I would say I had over 10lb's easy for the best five.All cought on Texas rigged Power worm's on 6lb test and small weight.All fish on steep rocky bank's.The lake got more stained the farther you went up toward's Las Tables.All my fish came in the clearer water.I never fished much past Bee Rock,well what's left of it.
City: SalinasTips: Use as lite of gear as you can here it seem's to help for quantity just hope for larger fish.Sometimes you find them.

Water Temp: 63 to 66
Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)
Report: I just spent a week at Nacimiento. The Lake is at 39% capacity due to major work being done to the spill way. The lake is down 20 plus feet from last year. This means that the bass beds have dried up and the spots were this. We caught 75 spots and 50 big white bass. The whites were a very early bite. 0530 hours and it only lasted for about 2 hours. The big bite was in tip creek and las tables. We were using bill lewis rattle traps, and cast masters. The whites were big and none of the female had spawned due to the water level. There was no debris in the water and the rockey points were the hot spots. The County has taken over the camping area and a new corporation has taken over the trailors and store. They dont have there act together yet but give them time. This corporation should do a good job. Bobby out!
