White Bass
While not as widely known as other California fisheries, Watsonville offers some opportunities to chase white bass, primarily in the sloughs and waterways connected to Monterey Bay. These fish often move into freshwater to spawn in the spring, providing a window of opportunity for anglers. Check the local fishing reports to see when the run is on, usually March through May. The Pajaro River and the network of sloughs that drain into it can hold white bass during their spawning runs. Access can be tricky, with some areas requiring permission from landowners. Kayak fishing the sloughs can be very effective. Local tip: Small, shiny lures like spinners and spoons work well for attracting white bass. Be prepared for a fast-paced bite when you find them.
