Spotted Bass
Targeting spotted bass near La Habra, CA, requires a bit of a drive to the foothill reservoirs and lakes. Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake, north of Los Angeles, are popular choices known to hold spotted bass populations. These reservoirs offer rocky shorelines, submerged structure, and clear water conditions that spotted bass favor. Spring and fall are excellent times to fish for them, as the water temperatures are moderate, and the fish are actively feeding. Look for them around rocky points, submerged trees, and drop-offs. Finesse techniques, such as drop-shotting and using small swimbaits, are effective. These fish can be line-shy, so using fluorocarbon leaders is highly recommended. Be sure to check lake levels and water clarity before heading out, as these can significantly impact fishing conditions. A boat is beneficial for covering more water, but there are also accessible shoreline fishing spots available at both lakes.
