Largemouth Bass
While Costa Mesa isn't immediately known for its largemouth bass fishing, the nearby freshwater lakes and reservoirs of Orange County offer surprisingly good opportunities. Irvine Lake and Lake Mission Viejo, though requiring a short drive, are your best bets. Spring and fall are prime times; the bass are more active as water temperatures moderate. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly productive. For Irvine Lake, check their website for opening times and any special event closures. Lake Mission Viejo requires membership or guest access, so plan accordingly. A local tip: focus on structure like submerged trees and weed lines with crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms. The bass in these lakes can be pressured, so experiment with different presentations. The largemouth here tend to run smaller, but patient anglers can find fish in the 3-5 pound range.
