Another post to Gold Country Fishing Report Mju Mju wrote on 4/29, “Took the wife out fishing. Ended up with 3 in 3 hours of fishing at Camanche. Started off with this 6.2lb biggy. Main lake about 40 on the downriggers. See them jumping. Couldn’t get anything close to the surface to bite.”

Longtime resident of Camanche south shore, Don Swim brought in this 8.07 lb. kitty using chicken livers on 4/21.

Rj Schulze posted these shots on Facebook on 4/28 and reported in the Gold Country Fishing Report, “Camanche has been on fire! Lots of fish in lots of different stages. Shallow fish on beds, post spawn fish on off-shore cover, right now is a great time to get those kids out there and introduce them to Bass fishing!! just remember catch and release is super important especially right now during the spawn. Caught on a ton of different presentations. Throwing reaction (jerkbaits, spinners, cranks) when there’s wind, senkos and shakey heads when its flat seem to be working. Always have a glide bait tied on for hitting those island tops and points. Happy fishing ! ”

Dave Jans of West Sacramento was out to the lake last Friday. He messaged that he was going after bass “using soft plastics with a slow presentation, near shallow water. He also said the water temps were between 71° and 74° catching both spots and Florida largemouth.”

Brent Tracy Fished yesterday after the plant and landed a couple. Fished today and landed 5. The Rainbows were also hitting today. Landed 3 of those. I do CNR and fish there 3 to 4 times a week. Today they hit on Yellow and White Power Eggs for me. They are out in deeper water.

In total only me and my uncle went so only 10 was the limit. Threw out lime-green powerballs with green chart use power worm and lime-green powerballs and orange power worm. Good Easter fishing day.”
