Lake Nacimiento Fishing Report

11-12-2021
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

Nacimiento Lake fell to 10 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good. Anglers reported good spotted bass fishing in the 10-to-25-foot zone using finesse baits, swimbaits, and spoons. Drop shot, darter heads and small jigs have been working for finesse anglers while underspins and spoons have been getting bite after metering a school of shad. The white bass bite slowed a bit last week, but they have been going for vertical spoons. Crappie were reported by anglers working spoons for bass, and a few anglers reported doing well on minijigs with crappie nibbles. The results were impressive with some truly huge crappie in the mix. Catfish anglers reported a decent bite using cut mackerel, dip bait, and chicken liver.
