Spotted Bass
If you're chasing Spotted Bass near Bradbury, California, you'll want to focus on the foothill reservoirs. Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake are again your primary options, offering structure-rich environments that spotted bass love. These fish thrive in the clear, deep water and rocky shorelines. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons. During the spring prespawn, focus on shallow coves and points with rocky bottoms. In the fall, the bass will be actively feeding before winter. A local's trick is to use finesse techniques like drop-shotting with small worms or throwing small swimbaits around submerged structure. Spotted bass in these lakes tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they fight hard! Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly, affecting access and fish location.
