Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing near Alhambra, California, requires a bit of a drive to reach suitable habitat, but the effort can be rewarding. While not as common within the immediate vicinity of Alhambra, heading into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains will put you within reach of reservoirs and streams holding spotted bass. Look to the San Gabriel Reservoir or even further east. These reservoirs offer the rocky, clear water environments that spotted bass prefer. Spring and fall are prime times. Spotted bass tend to be structure-oriented, so focus on rocky points, submerged timber, and drop-offs. Downsizing your presentation can be effective, as spotted bass can be finicky. Try using smaller jigs, worms, or crankbaits in natural colors. Access to some of these areas can be limited, so be sure to check road conditions and access permits beforehand. Also, be aware that spotted bass in these areas are often subject to specific regulations, so consult the California Department of Fish and Wildlife guidelines.
