For those who enjoy these type of fish, the common spots to check out are Cachuma Bay [Crappie], specifically towards the back of the bay and the right side (reeded areas), Harvey's Cove [Crappie and Catfish], Sweet-water Bay [Trout], Clark's cove [Trout], Johnson Bay [Large Mouth], Santa Cruz Bay [Catfish] and Bobcat's cove [catfish]. Unfortunately, for those that may want to fish for Trout, the fishing is still slow. They are about 20-30 feet from surface, so add either a split shot or a egg sinker to achieve the necessary depth. For Crappie, neon green or a generally neon jig have been proven most effective. Furthermore, utilizing either worms [garlic] or Mackerel has been the bait trend for Catfish. Rainbow Trout Rapalas or rubber worms or black and yellow Panther Martins have been effective for Large and Small Mouth Bass.
