Lake Nacimiento continued to rise, and it’s currently sitting near 17 percent of capacity. Bass fishing has been fair with anglers using finesse techniques in deeper water for bites. Drop shot, darter heads, jigs, and Ned rigs worked slowly in 20 to 40 feet of water were getting the best results. Vertical spoons have also worked for spotted bass and white bass. White bass went for inline spinners worked deeper in the water column as well. Catfish anglers used chicken liver, dip bait, and cut mackerel to fool good sized catfish. Crappie have been holding on deep cover, and crappie anglers used minijigs to fool some slabs.
