Fish Report

Castaic fell to 33 percent of capacity, and the bite has been good. Water temps remained in the upper seventies. Bass have been holding in the 10-to-20-foot zone, but that doesn’t mean large and small mouth can’t be found up shallow. Several bass to five pounds were reported by an angler throwing clear Zara Puppies in less than five feet of water. Most of the action has been on Senkos, C-rigs, and Ned rigs, and Green Pumpkin, brown, and shad colors produced well lately. Striper anglers found plenty of boiling fish all over the lake. The key has been to sneak up on the boiling fish and make long casts with topwater, Kastmasters, and flukes. Striper also ate cut baits in 25 to 60 feet of water. Trollers have had to contend with heavy recreational boat traffic, but striper fell for flies and umbrella rigs on main lake points.
