Lake Camanche - CA

Bass Guide, austinbarkk, aka Austin Baker of Rio Linda hauled in this monster 8.98 lb. bass using football jig which he posted to Instagram commenting, “Well I guess @lakecamanche missed me a little. Been a while since I caught a big one here. @mr_b_lure_company football jig was the ticket. Would love to see this fish pre spawn. Also, shout out to @gonefishinmarine and @reelcrazy1 for keeping me on the water in between boats.

Long time Camanche Angler, Dave Jans shared this shot with us and reported, ” I caught 7 today on 7 different baits- plastics to reaction baits. Fish are close to the shore in the morning and move deeper as the sun warms the water. Water temp was 68 in the morning and 74 in the afternoon.”

Brad Menezes, aka _bradmenezesfishing on Instagram wrote, “Last week I decided to switch it up a bit and head to Lake Camanche, a reservoir I’ve never fished before! When I pulled up to the south shore, i could immediately tell something wasn’t right with the lake level. I probably casted a few hundred times, walked a few miles on the banks, and caught these 2 little guys 🎣 A very tough day on the water, i’m just happy I didn’t get skunked!”

Trip out to Lake Camanche on 5/19 with the CA Bass Federation tournament.

This fish was caught in the causeway at 30′ on a copper/orange speedy shiner covered in Pro-Cure Trout bait sauce at 2.8mph. Fillets are compared to those of a 16″er., Work Sharp sharpeners keep my Williams Co. Knives sharp enough to make my job filleting easy whether on a fish large or small. Thanks, Captain Joe”
