Castaic Lake remained at 93 percent of its storage capacity, and water temperatures held in the low eighties. Anglers reported another week of excellent fishing at Castaic Lake with bass, striper, and bluegill all cooperating. Large and smallmouth have been reliable on finesse baits for several weeks. Senkos, drop shot, and shaky heads all took fish in 5 to 30 feet of water. Ghost, shad, brown, and green colors all took fish. Large and smallmouth also went after small jerkbaits, crankbaits, topwater lures, and white flukes early and late in the day. On windy days mud lines have been a good place to work jerks, cranks, and weightless Senkos. Striped bass took topwater walking baits and poppers during the boils. Other favorites were white Flukes, spoons, and jerkbaits. Bluegill ate any live worm fished near partially submerged brush.
