MATTHEWS' PICKS OF THE WEEK

1. The Fred Hall Show is the best bet this week. The granddaddy of Southern California outdoor shows is running from today through Sunday at the Long Beach Convention Center and functions as the kick off to the spring fishing season. Virtually every fishing landing, sport fishing destination, and tackle manufacturer is represented and all of the local retail stores have booths with blow-out sales. Exhibitors from around the world are here, too, from those promoting peacock bass trips in South American, to nile perch in Africa, to taimen in Mongolia. Admission to the Hall Show is $15 for adults and kids are free. For more information, go to www.fredhall.com or call 805-389-3339 for more information or directions.

2. Lake Havasu on the Colorado River is having a very good bass bite --mostly smallmouth, but also pretty decent largemouth bass -- with the fish already moving shallow to spawn. If we can ever string a few nice weather days together this bite will break wide open. This is a sight fishing bonanza with a lot of quality smallies to four pounds. For an update on this action call Bass Tackle Master (formerly Angler's Pro Shop) at 928-854-2277.

3. While Diamond Valley Lake was a little off this past week, it is still have the best largemouth bass bite in Southern California with the fish already moving up into the shallows to fan out spawning beds. While it's not full-on spawn time, the fishing is pretty darn good for the season. For updates on the bite, call the marina at 951-926-7201 or Last Chance Bait and Tackle at 951-658-7410.

SANTA MARGARITA

SANTA MARGARITA: Rain, rain and more rain has slowed the action to a crawl, but there is still a pretty fair bass bite for the diligent few anglers fishing plastics around structure and some fish are already up shallow. A few crappie are showing on small jigs, too, but the fishing pressure has been very light. The rain has jumped the lake level 27 feet, going from 55 percent of capacity to 94 percent last week and it has continued to creep up with rain this week. The marina store is open Wednesday through Sunday. Information: 805-438-1522.

NACIMIENTO

NACIMIENTO: Very little fishing pressure with the rains, but there continues to be some decent spotted bass action with jigs, plastics, and swim baits. No reports on other species. The lake level has gone from 11 percent capacity in October to 46 percent, and continued rain is just kicking the level up more. Information: 805-238-1056 or www.nacimientoresort.com.
