Crappie Time, Bass Too!!
Submitted by Addicted to the bite on Thu, 05/06/2010 - 13:12Published in
Crappie are pretty good everywhere. Bass are also on the chew. The crappie on the red tailgate are from Isabella yesterday. thas was my first trip to Isabella this year for crappie in the evening after work, and I caught five in an hour or so before it got too windy and cold for me. The other two crappie are from River Walk. The bigger bass is from BV. The little bass is from River Walk. No pics of the cats, but they too are on fire at BV. These are only a fraction of the fish I have caught over the last week or so, I don't take nearly enough pictures. The spring time fishing is on. Get out and get some.

Bakersfield River Walk Report 2-27-2010
Despite the very good reports River Walk fishing was not on today.
The trout were very close to the shore at times, Swirling almost at the shoreline.
Granted the weather was bad from time to time there were points were the sky's were blue and during those times out of the 10-15 Fisherman only one person caught a single trout and three very small bass.There was speculation that the plant truck never came this week. Despite multiple sources saying there was a trout plant. A couple of the local River Walk fisherman said they had fished all week and didn't see any plant trucks.
I don't know if they planted or not but from the lack of activities it sure seemed as though they didn't

River Walk stocked again

I guess I was wrong in my previous post. I thought they were done stocking. They, well someone, has stocked River Walk again. There are lots of little trout, I guess it is still fun, but not what it was in December. I have seen some decent size, over a pound, caught around me but they are few and far between. The best bite I have seen is on Power Eggs pink and yellow swirled (I am sure they have a clever name for the color, I just dont know what it is) dipped in garlic oil. I saw a guy at lunch time tearing it up on corn, garlic, and chartreuse power baits reelin in slowly.

River Walk Trout Fishing

I believe that the DFG trout plants are over for the season. There will probably be at least a couple of more plants for Fishing derbies at River Walk and Hart park, but other wise I think it is whatever is left you better go and get it. Here are a couple of decent 2-2.5lbers I caught the week of the 4-8th of Jan, but trout action has been consistently slowing throughout January. The blue gill have been back and action has been good on meal worms, but with the recent storms and the muddy water that action has slowed for now. I'll post again when I find my next hot spot around the county

They finally stocked River Walk Park again

They stocked on Wednesday afternoon about Three O'clock. There are some pretty nice sized trout this time. I'd say in the two pound range. The bite was great this morning, mostly on lures. Power bait was okay, but lures seemed to be getting the bigger fish. I was told that the guy on the stocking truck also said that he stocked Lake Ming just before he came to River Walk.
I will try to follow up this afternoon or evening with some pics. I had to get to work. Woo Hoo!
Good luck, Go get 'em!

River Walk Spoils

The lake is stocked and the fish are biting. I believe they only stocked the front Pond at River Walk on Friday. The fishing has been pretty consistently good since then. There is action on power bait, lures, and jigs. Power bait colors that seem to be best are of the chartreuse, rainbow and green, all with glitter. I saw a couple of trout taken on night crawlers, but the action was a little slower. I heard that the action was similar out at hart park where they stocked the same day, but I haven't made it over there myself.
Go fish and good luck!!

I can't wait for the trout

I went last night to River Walk and had no luck with the trout. I did catch a few bass and blue gill, all small, but one Bass maybe between 1 and 2 lbs. I am not even sure if they have stocked the trout yet. I just thought I'd give it a try. The water level is very low again at River Walk, not sure what is going on there. Hopefully the stock will still take place.
