Largemouth Bass
Looking to hook into some Largemouth near Lafayette? While Lafayette itself lacks large lakes, its proximity to the East Bay's reservoirs makes it a worthwhile base. San Pablo Reservoir and Briones Reservoir, both a short drive away, offer good bass fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times; the bass are more active as water temperatures moderate. In spring, focus on shallow, weedy areas as the bass move in to spawn. Soft plastics like Senkos and creature baits are effective. Later in the fall, as the water cools, try crankbaits and jerkbaits along deeper structure. A key tip for San Pablo is to pay attention to the water level – fluctuating levels can concentrate the fish. Also, be aware of the specific regulations for each reservoir, as they can vary. Remember to check for any algae blooms before you go; they can sometimes affect fishing.
