Largemouth Bass

Camarillo offers several options for largemouth bass fishing, primarily in local lakes and reservoirs. Lake Casitas, a short drive away, is the most well-known and productive. Target bass around submerged structure, weed lines, and rocky points. Spring is an excellent time to fish for spawning bass, while fall sees increased activity as they feed up for winter. Plastic worms, jigs, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local tip is to fish the early morning or late evening hours, especially during the warmer months, for the best results. Public access is available at Lake Casitas, with boat ramps and shoreline fishing areas. Be sure to check lake regulations regarding fishing licenses and boat permits. The bass population in these waters is generally healthy, with opportunities to catch both quantity and quality fish.
