Spotted Bass
While Chino, California, isn't necessarily known as a spotted bass hotspot, you can still find them in some of the local waterways, particularly in Prado Regional Park Lake. Spotted bass often prefer deeper, clearer water than largemouth, so focus your efforts around rocky structures and deeper sections of the lake. Spring and fall are good times to target them, as they become more active with the changing water temperatures. Small jigs, crankbaits, and drop-shot rigs can be effective lures for spotted bass. One key to success is to fish slowly and methodically, as spotted bass can be finicky eaters. Access to Prado Lake is readily available, with boat ramps and shoreline access points. Keep in mind that the spotted bass population may not be as abundant as largemouth, so be prepared to move around and explore different areas of the lake.
