Lake Cachuma Bass Show Smallmouth Surge Red Gun Slows
At Lake Cachuma over forty percent of caught bass are smallmouth, up from under twenty. Despite smaller fish, average size remains about two pounds. Trolling yields the biggest fish, including a three‑pounder off the island. Bank fishing near the loading ramp best for limits. Red car fishing slowed with bass quiet due to cold water. Tecolote Tunnel shifts, Lake Lopez plant failed, conditions poor there. DFG salmon stocking in Santa Margarita Lagoon eyed again. Santa Barbara Sea Landing reports high red snapper in rock cod catch, now 50 percent after peaking at 75. Salmon season starts Feb 12 and Sea Landing offers free salmon fishing class starting Jan 28 at 7 p.m.
