Nacimiento rose to 94 percent of its storage capacity, and local angler Carl Pierson reported boating 30 plus spotted bass on some of his recent outings. Bass went after drop shot, shaky heads, and jigs in 2 to 25 feet of water. Most anglers reported good action with the 1-to-3-pound spotted bass, but largemouth took baits too. Crankbaits and small swimbaits worked for bites when fished parallel to shore along the bottom, and Senkos took fish up shallow. White bass went after spoons and in-line spinners, and crappie fell for minijigs, small swimbaits, and live minnows over submerged structure. Catfish anglers did well while using dip baits, chicken liver, and cut baits.
