>>954168But since you are in SoCal and I'm sure the lakes are warm, you will probably be running stuff like drop shots, shakey heads, and Texas rigs. When the bite ie slow, I'm a big fan of the Texas rig with a <1/4oz bullet weight and a 3/0-4/0 EWG worm hook with baits like the 6" Zoom finesse worm or baby brush hogs. The lighter the weight, the slower the bait will fall and that can give it a better natural movement. Lighter shakey head jigs like 1/8oz work the same way. Unfortunately if it's windy or you need some casting distance to get to deep water on a hot day, you might have to run more weight.
For clear waters, natural colors. If it is darker or murky water or running over vegetation, dark colors like Junebug do really well. And then chartruese soft baits do work in certain conditions. A lot of times the chartruese works well for me when the water is clear but stained brown. Some days the bass can't resist chartruese stuff.
