Castaic remained near full pool with water temperatures approaching 80 degrees. Small bass ruled the lake with anglers landing them on poppers and walking baits in the mornings. The “bubble rig” rigged with a white tiny Fluke worked for bites as well. Drop shot and Senko style baits boated 20 plus fish for a lot of anglers. Most of the bass have been less than a pound. Bigger bass held out in deeper water. Striped bass were chasing bait in open water near the west Ramp and Center point. Anglers connected with schoolie sized line-sides on a variety of baits. Poppers, spoons, and white Flukes were good choices. Successful anglers took long casts to avoid scaring the feeding schools of striped bass. Catfish ate dip baits and cut sardines in the coves east of the marina.
