Fish species in Tweedy Lake

Tweedy Lake is a lake in Los Angeles County, California and covers about 23.6 acres, reaches about 21.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 199 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then use the old channel as a guide.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Tweedy Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.

While looking for black crappie on Tweedy Lake, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.

When bluegill are the target on Tweedy Lake, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

Start the largemouth bass search on Tweedy Lake by trying to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

When channel catfish are the target on Tweedy Lake, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.

How to Read the Water

Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; work from shallow to deep, then use wind to narrow the search.

Season by Season

Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then check both sides of the point.

A Simple Tackle Plan

A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; match lure size to the visible food, then test the drop before leaving.

Record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then match lure size to the fish.
