Spotted Bass
Spotted bass in the Pleasant Hill, California, area require a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worth it. Head east towards the foothills, and you'll find several reservoirs like Pardee and Camanche Lakes that hold healthy populations of spotted bass. These reservoirs are characterized by their steep, rocky banks and clear water, which are ideal for spotties. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target them, especially during the spawn. Look for areas with submerged timber or rocky points. A key to success here is downsizing your presentation; spotted bass tend to prefer smaller lures and finesse techniques. Also, be aware that these reservoirs can get crowded on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The spotted bass in these reservoirs are known for their aggressive strikes, making for an exciting fishing experience.
