Kaweah Lake rose to 70 percent of capacity, and bass fishing was decent last week. Spotted bass have been going for drop shot, Senkos, and topwater baits. The topwater bite has been best early and late while finesse anglers found biters throughout the day. Green Pumpkin, Peoples Worm, and Aaron’s magic have been reliable color choices. Crappie anglers reported biters near Horse creek using small live minnows and crappie jigs. Catfish will take cut baits, chicken liver, and dip bait.
