BASS
Big baits are out without the trout! Within 5 days of the Lassen stock swimbait fishing was on the decline but shad baits worked fine. You have to match the hatch for a great catch. Fish shad pattern cranks from a boat or the banks. Flukes on underspins or scroungers are first class for bass. When all else fails the drop shot prevails. Finesse worms in prism shad, oxblood, and watermelon red are knocking them dead. Bass will bite a Carolina rigged reaper, a big worm, or creature. Don't put the swimbaits away the trout will be here any day. Louie Marquez caught his biggest bass at 4.33 pounds fishing from shore with a Storm shad.

TROUT
DVL can't help but tout the trout. The Lassen truck will bring you luck. Mini jigs were the best for those 'bows, with Powerbait and nightcrawlers also tricking trout. Branon Hubert of Beaumont caught his biggest trout at 3.38 pounds fishing from shore with a white mini jig.

STRIPER
