Spotted Bass
Livingston, California, offers some surprisingly good spotted bass fishing opportunities, particularly in the California Aqueduct and nearby canals. These waterways, while artificial, provide diverse structure like bridge pilings, weed lines, and varying depths that spotted bass love. The best time to target them here is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate, and the fish are actively feeding. Early mornings and late afternoons often produce the best results. A local tip: focus on areas where the aqueduct narrows or where there are noticeable current breaks, as these tend to concentrate the fish. Also, be mindful of the strong currents in the aqueduct, which can make boat control challenging. Spotted bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a fight! Remember to check current regulations regarding access and permissible fishing methods, as these can change seasonally.
