Calaveras Lake

Water stained, 89 degrees. Redfish action is excellent trolling, and bottom fishing using tilapia, shrimp, crawfish, and fish bites in a variety of flavors. Early mornings are best in the shallows, around 5-10 feet, while fish can also be found deeper up to 20 feet. Channel and blue catfish are also biting well in 5-25 feet of water on shrimp, tilapia, stink bait, and fish bites. Bank fishing has been productive for both redfish and catfish using shrimp, crawfish, and fish bites. Striper bite remains slow. Report by Manny Martinez, Fishing With Manny.
