Spreckels Lake

Spreckels Lake is a saltwater spot in California, United States, and the kind of place where tide does most of the work. The hours either side of high water tend to be the most productive on the coast here. At Spreckels Lake, structure — reefs, drop-offs, headlands, harbour walls — concentrates baitfish, and predators follow. A good local rule: if the bait isn't where you expect it to be, the fish won't be either.
