Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing around Morgan Hill offers a fun alternative to targeting largemouth, and Calero Reservoir holds a healthy population. These aggressive fish tend to inhabit deeper, rockier areas than their largemouth cousins. Look for them near points, drop-offs, and submerged rock piles. Fall and winter are particularly good times to target spotted bass, as they often school up and become easier to locate. Finesse techniques, such as drop-shotting and shaky heads, are highly effective. Small swimbaits retrieved slowly along the bottom can also produce. Access is primarily via the Calero Reservoir County Park, which offers boat launch facilities and shoreline access. Keep an eye on your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as the spotted bass will likely be nearby. The spotted bass in Calero tend to be smaller than the largemouth, but their aggressive strikes make them a blast to catch.
