Valley/Westside waterways

Striper 2 Catfish 2

Pumping out of south Delta has brought cold, muddy water into the northern portion of the California Aqueduct. The striped bass bite remains best with bait in the dirty water. In the south aqueduct, Cope’s Rod and Tackle in Bakersfield reported a fair striped bass with cut baits, live worms, or live jumbo minnows as the cold water has taken over. There is some action with flukes on a ½- to 1-ounce jig head using a lift/drop technique. Tube baits in bullhead imitation colors along with Rat-L-Traps and deep-diving jerkbaits can also be effective in the cold water. Catfishing is best with cut bait, chicken liver, or Triple S Dip Bait on a Carolina-rig with a 1 to 2-ounce barrel sinker. Largemouth bass can be found on a finesse presentation with 4-inch Roboworm’s in Aaron’s Magic or Hologram Shad.

Aqueduct anglers are always advised to use caution as well as wearing a PFD as the water is swift, cold, and dangerous.

Eastman Lake/Hensley Lake

Bass 2 Trout 2 Bluegill 2 Catfish 2 Crappie 2

Brandon Grimsley of Valley Rod and Gun in Clovis reported the most consistent largemouth bite at Eastman has been with jigs or plastics on a Carolina- or Texas-rig worked very slowly on the bottom. A few anglers continue to toss big Huddleston swimbaits in rainbow trout pattern for the chance at a trophy largemouth. The bass are chasing trout, and with more trout plants in the future, the swimbait bite could be more consistent. The most consistent technique is to drag the bottom with plastics on a Texas- or Carolina-rig. Hensley remains slow for largemouth bass, but there are plenty of carp to be had in the shallows. Eastman rose slightly to 534.38 feet in elevation and 48% with Hensley also rising to 474.93 feet in elevation and 19%. No tournaments are scheduled at either lake through the end of the year

Lake Don Pedro

Bass 3 Trout 2 Kokanee 1 King salmon 2 Crappie 2

Ryan Denner of Central Valley Bait and Tackle in Modesto reported bass fishing is picking up as the fish are holding in water as deep as 50 feet. There is a solid jig bite with brown/purple or green pumpkin jigs with a Yamamoto twin-tail grub in cinnamon or green pumpkin. With the recent trout plant, a few anglers are tossing large rainbow trout patterned swimbaits or glidebaits with occasional success. Trout trolling is decent for planters with a few holdovers in the mix with shad-patterned spoons near the surface. Crappie can be found, but it takes Forward Facing Sonar to find and stay on the slabs. Launch updates are posted at www.donpedrolake.com. The lake is at 774.01 feet in elevation and 69%.

Denner reported the jig bite continues to improve at depths to 50 feet with brown/purple or green pumpkin jigs with a cinnamon or green pumpkin trailer. It’s more about quantity than quality here as small spotted bass dominate. The bait is heading into deeper water, and the bass are moving with the bait. The Reel Deal Market and Barrett’s Cove Marina will only be open on Wednesdays from 10 am to 2 pm during the winter months. The lake held at 802.86 feet in elevation and 62%.

Lake McSwain

Trout 2

I000 pounds of Calaveras Trout Farm rainbows were planted last week, but the shore action has been slow for most anglers. Some are scoring up to limits while others are struggling for a few fish per rod with Power Bait, Kastmasters, or nightcrawlers from the normal locations of the Handicapped Docks, the peninsula near the marina, or the Brush Pile. There are holdovers in the river arm, and trollers are picking up a few quality trout past the Second Fence Line. The lake is at 91 percent.

Bass 2 Trout 2 Crappie 2 Catfish 3 Bluegill 3

The lake rose slightly to 2557.76 feet in elevation and 27% with water releases at First Point at 393 cfs. Cope’s reported a steady bass bite as the fish are holding in 20 to 25- feet of water. Deep diving crankbaits, trout imitation swimbaits, or big worms with slower presentations have been good choices. Bass have also been coming on dark jigs and underspins with white Keitech trailers at Rocky Point, Piney Point, or Engineer Point. Crappie are still around out in deeper water; but anglers are having to work a little harder for a bite with live shiners or crappie jigs. Whiskerfish anglers have done a little better with decent fish reported on frozen shad, cutbait, or Triple S Dip Bait.

In the Upper Kern River, Cope’s reported fair to good action with the best fishing at the park in Kernville to Powerhouse #3 with salmon eggs, crickets, or trout worms. Steady trout plants from the Department of Fish and Wildlife have contributed to the angler’s success. In the 20-Mile Stretch, nymphs and dry flies on a dropper are working for fly fishermen. The Upper Kern River was stocked this week in the following sections: Section 4, Powerhouse #3 to Riverside Park in Kernville; Section 5, Fairview Dam to Lazy River Lodge; and Section 6, Fairview Dam to Johnsondale Bridge. The Lower Kern Largemouth and smallmouth bass bite is fair to good with soft plastics and small crankbaits. The Kern River at Kernville is running at 483 cfs.

Lake Kaweah

Bass 2 Crappie 2 Trout 3 Catfish 2

The lake rose 8 feet to 613.72 feet in elevation and 16%. Cope’s reported fair bass fishing. Rainbow trout were planted last week, and anglers did well with rainbow Powerbait, Mousetails, minijigs, or spinners. Bass anglers continued to work in 20- to 40-foot depths with drop shot jigs and spoons while crankbaits took bass near the dam. Catfish anglers reported decent fishing with anchovies, mackerel, or cut sardines while crappie anglers used minijigs or small live minnows for decent results. The Kaweah River at Three Rivers dropped to 158 cfs.

The lake dropped 3 feet to 599.44 feet in elevation and 14% percent. Cope’s Reported bass anglers used drop shot, jigs, spoons, or crankbaits for good results. The bite hasn’t been wide open, but several anglers reporting catching five or more bass in a single fishing session. Catfish ate cut baits and chicken liver, and crappie went after minijigs, small swimbaits, or small live minnows. A trout plant was scheduled last week.

Millerton Lake/San Joaquin River

Bass 2 Striped bass 1 Shad 1 Bluegill 3 Crappie 2

Millerton remains very slow for quality although numbers of thin spotted bass to 14 inches are the story for anglers working shad-patterned plastics on a slow presentation near the bottom at depths to 50 feet. The lake rose 1.5 feet to 500.45 feet in elevation and 42 percent. Sycamore Island has closed until January. The flows in the San Joaquin River at Friant held at 428 cfs.

No change here as the US Bureau of Reclamation is putting a decontamination unit in place to be operational in the near future. The gates closed for all launch ramps on December 7, and only the Glory Hole launch ramp will remain open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm to obtain a red tag to start a 30-day quarantine period. The US Bureau of Reclamation is anticipating the opening of a decontamination station operated by the marina within a few weeks. Once the lake is reopened after the 30-day closure, boats must be off the water by 4:00 pm to receive a green tag to relaunch without quarantining or decontamination. Bank fishing is allowed. Non-motorized watercraft, such as kayaks and paddleboards, may also be subject to inspection. The lake rose to 1037.25 feet in elevation and 77 percent.

Brandon Grimsley reported there have been several tournaments at the end of December highlighted by the upcoming Hmong New Year Tournament on December 28. Limits to 13 pounds have been necessary for first place, but most of the bass are holding deep from 40 to 60 feet. Plastics on the drop-shot or a shakey head are working best for numbers while spoons, shad-patterned Keitech swimbaits, or umbrella rigs are a good option when the shad is located. A trout plant is scheduled, and the holdover rainbows can be found from 20 to 40 feet. Heavy trout plants in the Lower Kings River have led to limits, and live crickets, salmon eggs, Power Bait, spinners, or spoons. There continues to be citations issued for anglers fishing in the catch-and-release section with barbed hooks or in possession of trout. The catch-and-release section is located below the Alta Weir (also known as Cobbles Weir) extending downstream to the Highway 180 bridge. This area is considered a zero limit, catch-and-release zone where only artificial lures with barbless hooks are allowed. The flows have risen slightly to 428 cfs. The lake rose 2.5 feet to 835.18 feet in elevation and 44 percent.

San Luis Reservoir and O’Neill Forebay

Striper 2 Catfish 2 Bass 2 Crappie 2

Yahir Leon of Coyote Bait and Tackle in Morgan Hill reported the bait bite has been the best bet at the main lake with anchovies or jumbo minnows.

Roger George of Roger George Guide Service reported that the overall bite slowed last week -to a tough rating - after the pumps were shut off for 4 days.” The active fish are hard to find right now. The most active schools seem to be found in the back of Portuguese Cove moving around a lot now looking for bait. I fished with a buddy in the fog and we finally scratched out 15 nice stripers, with one at 10.7 lbs using Shad type baits worked through the schools holding around 40-60’. All released. The bite has been slow for the last two weeks in the 59.5 degree water, with the lake holding at about 1,410,000 acre feet , near 70%. “ George said.

In the O’Neill Forebay, there have been some boils on occasion, and 5-inch white flukes on a Hog Farmer’s Hog Wobbler jig head have been popular for the stripers. In the California Aqueduct, the water is turning murky after being pumped out of the south Delta, and the bite has been best in the clearer water of the small dirt canals. The main lake rose to 69% balanced between water imports and exports while the forebay is at 84%. Boat inspections at San Luis Reservoir, O’Neill Forebay, and Los Banos Creek Reservoir in Merced County are required when exiting these lakes to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. At O’Neill Forebay, golden mussels were recently detected. Boats leaving these San Luis Recreation Area lakes will not be granted a “clean boat” tag. After boating in waterways, always remember to clean, drain, and dry to help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Captain Mike Beighey of Bass Lake Fishing reported a solid trout bite from the shorelines, and trollers are starting to get in on the act with Dick’s Trout Busters tipped with a piece of nightcrawler behind a blue or gold Dick’s Mountain Dodger at depths from the surface to 12 feet. The launch is a challenge as the ramp is not in the water, and it takes two people to put in a boat with the low water level. Shore fishing is best with Power Bait in Rainbow Glitter across from the Sheriff’s Tower. A trout plant is scheduled this week. The lake is now being drawn down, making launching a large boat a challenge.

Shaver Lake guide emeritus, Dick Nichols of Dick’s Fishing Charters said, “Dave Loftin of Visalia was out recently, and he picked up a couple of yearling rainbow trout at 15 and 19 inches before heading over to Black Rock for another pair at 16 and 19 inches. He described the trout as ‘beautiful and healthy.’ He was using Dick’s Trout Busters in fluorescent yellow tipped with a piece of ‘crawler 4 feet behind a Dick’s Mountain Dodger at depths to 15 feet. Most trout are holding from 15 to 30 feet in depth.” Both marinas are closed. The Edison ramp is out of water. The Sierra ramp is good to launch. Supplies can be found at Shaver businesses. Check the Sierra Marina webcam at http://www.sierramarina.com/webcam-weather-page.html for conditions before going up as the marinas are closed.

The storms are prime time for ‘brown baggers’ to pull their aluminum boats through the snow to launch at Huntington. Few reports are anticipated from this secretive crew. Shaver is at 60 percent with Huntington dropping slightly to 56%. A trout plant is scheduled at Shaver this week.

When the weather cooperates, it is either limits of Dungeness crab or limits of rockfish. The weather went south over the weekend, but on Friday, the Ankeny Street posted 6 limits of rockfish and 20 sand dabs while on Thursday, the Queen of Hearts pulled up the hoops for 10 limits of crab. The weather is the limiting factor for the remainder of the rockfish season, but there may be a day or two where the boats can make it out for the last chance this year. Rockfishing is limited to 50 fathoms for the rest of the season ending December 31.

From the surf, Yahir Leon reported the big swells have affected perch fishing over the past several days, but it was getting better prior to the arrival of the storms. The big swells contributed to the collapse of the Santa Cruz Wharf on Monday morning with the entire end of the pier over water collapsing.

Chris’s Fishing and Whale Watching out of Monterey was out on Sunday on the Check Mate and Caroline with a combined 32 anglers for 217 rockfish and 4 lingcod. The big swell slowed down the rockfish action.

Allen Bushnell of Santa Cruz Kayak Fishing and Surf Casting Guide Service reported, “Deep water rockfish remains the mainstay for local anglers. Deep reefs beyond the 300-foot line continue to kick out a nice assortment of chilipeppers, vermilion, canaries and yellowtail rockfish. Boats fishing from Carmel down past Point Sur were rewarded with high counts of lingcod as well. Chris’ Fishing Trips averaged about 3/4 limits of rockfish on their sojourns this week, but their bags included up to 14 ling cod per trip. The lings were big, weighing up to 25 pounds. On the Santa Cruz side of the bay, our charter boats did not find quite as many lingcod, but the rockfishing was a bit better with limits being the most common tally. Stagnaro’s Sportfishing counted limits for their seven-hour trips both Friday and Sunday. Go Fish Santa Cruz Charters headed north to Ano Nuevo from the Santa Cruz Harbor on the beautiful Miss Beth. Skipper JT Thomas reported, “We fished the deep water at the Island today with Tom and his family. They caught limits of rock fish including chili peppers and yellow tail.” Halibut, for the most part, have moved on out to deeper waters for the winter. They will start filtering back into the 60-foot depths in March. There are always those maverick wintertime flatties, however. Every year we get reports of halibut caught during the depths of winter. A local kayak fisherman in Monterey took advantage of benign conditions to do some sand dab fishing near Pacific Grove. Joe Huettl reported, “I caught a few sand dabs at 150 to 160 feet but was using a larger 2 hook rig to avoid the puny ones. Then I had one on and it felt decent. Then real decent and I wondered if I got a sole. Then real heavy and pulled some drag and I figured a lingcod had grabbed my dab. Exciting, but nothing I could keep, but I didn’t want to bust off my rig, so I eased it up slowly from the deep. Then at 30 feet down I saw color and it was a nice halibut! Now the stakes were higher, and I really didn’t want to lose it. I loosened the drag a bit and was able to gaff it first attempt. My rough measure while it was still kicking was about 35 inches or so.”

The weather god reared its ugly head offshore along the northern California coast prior to Christmas Day, ending the opportunity to head offshore on combination trips until the final days of the season. When the boats were able to head out to water deeper than 300 feet from the North Farallon to Rittenburg Bank, limits of rockfish in a single drift have been the rule along with 10-Dungeness crab limits. Crab-only trips will be the story after New Year’s Day, and ports from Monterey north to Crescent City will offer these ventures. The commercial Dungeness crab fishery from the Sonoma/Mendocino county line to the U.S./Mexico border will open on January 5 after a pre-soak beginning on January 2 in Fishing Zones 3,4,5, and 6 – the Sonoma/Mendocino county line south to the U.S./Mexico border. A 50% trap reduction will be in effect to reduce entanglement risk for humpback whales by decreasing the amount of gear and vertical lines in the water. The commercial season in the Northern Management Area (Zones 1 and 2, California Oregon Border to the Sonoma/Mendocino county line) will be further delayed due to the inability to conduct industry-sponsored meat quality testing. Prior to arrival of offshore weather, Captain Jerad Davis of the Salty Lady working out of Emeryville Sport Fishing with 18 limits of big, quality Farallon Island rockfish to go with 18 limits of jumbo Dungeness crab. Thursday’s weather was good, and Captain James Smith of California Dawn Sport Fishing said, “We made it to the fertile grounds, and we combined for 40 limits of rockfish, 40 limits of crab, and 7 lingcod. Friday was a different story as the weather became a challenge, and we opted for crab-only trips, combining for 54 limits. Limiting rockfishing to 50 fathoms in December create challenges for the charter boat fleet as more than half the available days were cancelled this year.

Inside the bay, Captain Ron Koyasako of Nautilus Excursions was in San Pablo Bay, and after wading through a number of sharks and rays, they caught and released a trophy sturgeon. Sturgeon action has also been solid in the south bay sloughs for Captain Steve Gutierrez of Deadliest Kast Guide Service.

Deep water rockfishing has been outstanding from the San Luis Obispo County ports, and they were some of the only party boats to make out over the weekend. On Saturday, two boats from Morro Bay Landing put their 34 passengers onto limits of rockfish consisting of 238 assorted rockfish, 64 Boccaccio, and 38 vermilion while the Black Pearl out of Virg’s Landing returned with 30 limits of rockfish and 6 lingcod. Out of Patriot Sport Fishing in Port San Luis, two boats are also out on Saturday for a combined 30 limits consisting of 243 assorted rockfish, 53 vermilion, and 4 Boccaccio.

On the Sacramento River side of the Delta, the water temperatures have dropped into the high 40’s, and the sturgeon bite has slowed to a few opportunities per outing. The fish are there although many have headed into the upper river to spawn with the high water levels. The sturgeon in Suisun Bay will need a few days to acclimate to the colder water temperatures. Runoff from the upper Sacramento River has turned this side of the Delta into chocolate milk, and bait fishermen have the upper hand for striped bass with live mudsuckers or fresh shad on the anchor. Fog remains a problem in the early mornings, and boaters are advised to wait a few hours until the early morning fog clears. Debris including large logs are moving down the river, and boaters must be aware of their surroundings and prepared to pull or cut the anchor rope since a big log can pull down the bow of the boat within seconds. Muddy water throughout the Sacramento side into the north Delta sloughs has slowed the largemouth bass bite to a crawl. Visibility is limited to only a few inches at best. On the San Joaquin sided, striped bass anglers are heading into the clearer waters of the central Delta to follow the shad schools. Frank’s Tract south to Discovery Bay is holding the clearest water in the Delta. The water should become dirtier this week with the series of storms arriving in Central California. cleaner in the San Joaquin side of the Delta. The striped bass bite has been spotty with some action in the main channel around King Island, but the bait is pushing into the warmer waters of the Stockton Turning Basin, and the terns and gulls are working the surface. Fog remains a concern in the early mornings, and there is floating debris in the main channel, including large trees or logs. Bass fishing has slowed considerably with the colder water temperatures, and winning tournament limits are challenged to push 15 pounds. Finding clear water is the key to success for striped bass, largemouth bass, and crappie.
