Crappie join hot Shasta bass bite

Shasta Lake - Shasta Lake, CA (Shasta County)

4-30-2015

Spotted bass bite is very good. Small swim baits, shaky heads, Senkos all will work. Color doesn't seem to matter. A few anglers are getting bass on topwater lures. Bass are on the main body and the back of coves. Crappie bite has turned on. Some have been larger than 2 pounds. Work the brush piles. Sacramento arm, Pit arm and Jones Valley are good crappie spots. Phil's Propeller 1-800-462-3917
