Nacimiento dropped to 21 percent of capacity, and fishing has been great. The only problem with fishing Naci lately has been the triple digit temperatures. Bass anglers willing to fish early or late reported excellent topwater, reaction, and finesse bites. Whopper Ploppers, poppers, and walking baits all scored bites in the AM and PM secessions, and vertical spoons and lipless crankbaits did well during the hot part of the day. Anglers used their electronics to meter shad and bass schools down deep. Then they patiently worked their offerings until that wrist numbing bite from a spotted bass told them they were doing it right. Drop shot, Senkos, and darter head grubs got plenty of action in 10 to 25 feet of water. White bass anglers reported another good week of trolling and topwater action while using small white swimbaits, spoons, and topwater lures. Catfish went for dip bait, chicken liver, and garlic scented nightcrawlers.
