Bass Fishing Lake Don Pedro California 02 13 2024

Headed up to the Fleming Meadows launch ramp of Lake Don Pedro for some trout and bass fishing. No trout today but I did manage to catch 5 bass. 2 small Largemouth and 3 nice-sized Spots. Here is video of the 3 spots. The spots were all 16-17 inches in length and ranged from 2 lbs 9 oz up to 3 lbs 2 oz. What a beautiful day on the lake! Rain is headed our way again and Pardee is opening for the season this Friday. I may have to gear up for rain and hit the lake regardless of the conditions.

What they hitting on Barry?

I was using a 3/4 oz Blade bait and a 1/2 oz spinnerbait in white/red with double silver willow blades. I would throw the bait up to the shoreline and then do a slow retrieve and let it fall with the contour of the lake. I am guessing a bit but the bites were mostly in the 15-20 ft. depth and the fish seemed to be attacking from below. Here is my favorite blade bait

Good Luck if you head out there.

I’m trying to head out there as soon as we get past the weather. Does Pardee have a good smallmouth population?

@@AM-we6en IMHO Pardee is the best Smallmouth fishery in this area. Not only are there a lot of smallmouth Bass in Pardee but they are healthy and of faiirly large size. One of my best outings there I was fishing with a tube bait and a weighted hook. I must have run into a school of them. I caught 10 from 2 to 4 lbs. I can't wait to get back up there and try again.
