Spotted Bass
If you're looking for spotted bass near Mountain House, CA, your best bet is to explore the nearby reservoirs and lakes dotting the foothills. Lake Del Valle and Los Vaqueros Reservoir, while a bit of a drive, are known to hold decent populations of spotted bass. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Look for rocky points, submerged timber, and areas with steep drop-offs. Spotted bass in these reservoirs often respond well to reaction baits like crankbaits and spinnerbaits, especially when fished along these structures. For a more finesse approach, try drop-shotting or using small jigs. Access at both lakes requires a fee, and it is recommended to check the water levels before you go, as they can fluctuate significantly, impacting fish location and access.
