Largemouth Bass /
Smallmouth Bass
Because of the technique and skill required
to catch these fish, and the thrill of hooking a large
one, many anglers consider bass to be the ultimate
game fish of Lake Berryessa. The largemouth (15 -
20 inches) is slightly larger than the smallmouth
(12-18 inches), and both fish spawn in the spring,
when they can be found feeding in shallow areas for
most of the day.
To fish for bass, it is important to know
some basic information about their feeding habits.
In the summer, bass generally spend their days and
nights resting in deeper water, but they move to
shallow warm water to feed in the morning and
evening. These areas usually have vegetation or
other structures that attract minnows, flies, or
other small creatures which bass feed on. In
addition, these shallow areas tend to be close to the
deep waters where bass rest - therefore, many
anglers fish for them along points or steep ridges,
and the shallow vegetated areas along the edge.
Fishermen often say that rocky points, floating
vegetation, docks, or coves filled with trees are
prime bass habitats.
Another tricky part about bass fishing is
finding the right bait. Every angler seems to have
their own belief about the best bass lure. The most
popular seem to be floating plugs, spinner baits,
rattling lures, plastic worms, or a simple live worm or
minnow. Whichever bait you use, fishing for bass is
sure to be an exciting experience if you keep their
feeding habits in mind.
