Just looking for a little 411 on Prado lake if anybody has any
I was able to catch holdover cats & trout in deeper water through late May. Last time I fished it was June 21st. Water temps are now 75 - 80 degrees. Fishing was tough then and I'm still trying to figure out the summer patterns here. Bass at the usual spots in cover close to shore for the catch and release fisherman. I have a feeling the cats are also in tight cover or around drop offs adjacent shallow water cover. Go early, lake shuts down at 4pm. Good luck out there.
Thanks for the info i will give it a shot
Went yesterday for a couple of hours. Caught 4 bass. Biggest was 1lb 8 oz. Lost a few as well. No luck with the catfish this time. Last time I caught 10 on the m&m combo. Didn't see anyone else catch anything.

Let me clarify. I was catching "catfish" from a boat in April before they started the summer "catfish" stockings. The Calaveras trout I caught then were recently stocked in April. Lake closes at seven but it was my understanding that boats need to be off the water one hour prior to close. Agree with you on the power eggs, they work on the cats. What depth would you target catfish now?
