It was the annual RB BASS camping trip. A bunch of RB BASS staff and friends take our 3 day weekend at a fishing lake. We held a turkey shoot for bragging rights on Saturday. Lake Amador does not allow jet skies or wake boarding , this small lake is rather tamed for a holiday weekend. Fishing was tough overall, but good bites were there when you found them. Top water provided good bites, cranking, swim baits and drop shoting were the best choices. Several bass 5-7 lbs were caught over the 3 day trip including some night fishing. Buzz baits were good early and late, Spooks were the go to bait for daytime topwater. The bass are feeding on shad and bluegill right now. Expect the crankbait bite to get better everyday.

Lake Amador is a proven big bass factory and it didn’t disappoint me over the Holiday weekend.The water temps were in the mid seventies,clear and about three or four feet below full pool.The fish this weekend were eating the buzz bait early and late in the day.They also liked the spook,all shallow.We caught fish in the six pound range with these baits.The drop-shot was the numbers bait of the weekend off of main lake points and pockets.I also hooked the biggest bass of my life on the drop-shot and only having seven pound test she broke me off.I’m guessing this fish was twelve to fifteen pounds,it hurt to watch her swim away.The crankbait was also a player fished over spawing flat’s.Lake Amador is a fisherman’s paradise as they don’t allow jet skis are sking.It’s a great place to relax and have a real chance for that true giant.Good Luck Bob Tyler
