Largemouth Bass
Escondido, California, offers some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing in its numerous reservoirs, most notably Lake Hodges and Dixon Lake. These lakes are known for producing quality fish, with the chance of hooking into a double-digit lunker. Spring and Fall are prime times, as the bass are more active in the cooler water temperatures. During the spawn (typically March-May), target shallow coves and weed beds. In the fall, focus on points and drop-offs as the fish move deeper. A local tip: Lake Hodges is known for its fluctuating water levels, so be sure to check conditions before heading out; low water can expose new structure that concentrates the fish. Largemouth in Escondido reservoirs tend to be aggressive, responding well to reaction baits like crankbaits and spinnerbaits, but don't overlook slow-moving plastics when the bite is tough. Remember to check lake-specific regulations regarding boat permits and fishing licenses.
