Largemouth Bass
While Capitola is known for its coastal charm, you'll need to venture inland a bit to find Largemouth Bass. Nearby freshwater lakes and reservoirs in the Santa Cruz Mountains are your best bet. Loch Lomond Recreation Area, with its namesake lake, is a popular option. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target largemouth as they move into shallower water to spawn. Focus on areas with weed beds, submerged timber, and docks. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and topwater lures can all be effective. A local tip: Loch Lomond can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arrive early to secure a good spot. Also, be aware that the water levels can fluctuate depending on rainfall, so check conditions before you go. The largemouth here aren't huge, but they are plentiful and can provide consistent action.
