Castaic remained at 30 percent of capacity, and water temperatures continued to move towards sixty degrees. Bass fishing was good for anglers using finesse baits, and most of the action remained on main lake points or along bluff walls in 10 to 30 feet of water. Drop shot, Carolina rigs, and Senkos have all been good choices. A few better-quality vertical spoon fish were reported by one of Castaic’s local guides after he metered a deeper school of bass. Striper fishing was very good this week with anglers fooling them using cut baits, umbrella rigs, and swimbaits. The striper bite picked up after this week’s trout plant which was the third in three weeks. Trout anglers reported solid fishing near the marina using Powerbait, Mousetails, minijigs, and lures, and striper anglers pulled in fish up to 15 ponds using large trout imitation lures. Magnum topwater, glide baits, and swimbaits all got bite.
