Hey all long time no post.
Well i have been hitting castaic lagoon and just recently hit the upper lake by boat last week and then the shore this week.
b-4 this cold front i was hitting it really good on the lagoon. But with this 3 weeks of gloom it put a damper on my fishing.
After going nuts on bass on the upper last week on my drop shot rig i felt as if i should go for it on the west ramp.
So report begins here:
I get to the west ramp around 5:15pm. Sky is gloomy as all hell but there is hardly any wind. So the upper lake was glassed out hardcore WOOT!!
I start by going off the rocks right nesr the west ramp. Water levels are low and surface temp is around 66-68 degrees. I toss out the 5 1/2" curly tail hologram shad roboworm and start working it. No much going on here so i move further down the rocks. I get around tghe bend and it feels like i hung up a rock. I felt the lead hop over it and then start to drop down into the next crack. Then the line feels mushy like i rolling thru weeds but then when i yank up to clear the weed line i felt the good ol *WHAM WHAM WHAM* set the hook and came up with this dinker.

came up to 2.3 on the digi.
let it go and tossed out again. As i'm working it over that same spot i get Tagged again pretty hard. But when i set the hook it was a no go. DAMN you win some you loose some. Then i keep making my way into the shallows of the west ramp rock piles since the water levels are so low. I keep tossing out my hologram shad for anopther hour untill i reach the end of the rocks. Then i switch over to the 4 1/2" curly tail MMIII roboworm. I work my way back to the dock. I get around the first point and i'm chucking the bait as far as possible with 1/4oz of weight. I come off the sandy bottom and hit the first row of grass line i get over that one and BAM i get slammed again. Pull it in and got my 2nd bass of the day.

Then as i get around to the dock tossing the whole way i move over to the sandy or might i say muddy area on the other side of the launch ramp. I call out last cast and fling that baby right along the side of the rocky structure to the left of me about 15 feet form the side. And low and behold *BAM BAM BAM* i bring this one in feeling a bit bigger then the last 2. I get it in and there is was last cast calling always wins me a bass. I should call it out every time and see if that helps lol.

this one went about 2.5 on the digi. It was long enough to go 5 i'm sure but this one was just long and skinny. But i'll take it.
So count was 3 bass in 2 hours.
not to bad.
Hopefully i'll have more luck tonight on the lagoon for the night tube'n session
hope to see some of ya out there.
