“The fish seem thin for this time of year, and that would should have been double digits for sure!” he added. “People say something is wrong at San V, but on that day I had to disagree.”
Lake staffers told Western Outdoor News the bass are scattered all over the water column and fish are being found and caught in 1 to 25 feet of water. The shallow fish are being picked up on small swimbaits and jigs as well as the topwater stuff while the deeper largemouth are falling for drop-shots and shakey heads. Weightless Senkos “swam” across the surface in the shallows are also producing some bass according to some reports.
As for the scratchy nature of the bass scene at San V right now, it’s likely a combination of significantly changing lake levels as the water continues to be drawn down and the early stages of fall transition.
Panfish anglers are getting into decent numbers of bluegill in both Kimball and Aqueduct Arm, and a week ago a 36.8-pound blue catfish was reported to the concession by San Diego angler Maurice Sandifer. He was soaking a chicken liver in the Aqueduct Arm.
