Fished Piru once this week(Tues)....Fished Castaic Upper(Wed)...Fished Castaic Upper from shore-West Ramp(Today-Sat 6/20).
Piru seems like the place if you just want to get good action. Caught and released 22 fish at Piru(12 LMB and 8 Trout). All were caught on Robo-worms, split-shot). The biggest bass was only about 1.5 pounds, and the biggest trout was prob. 14 inches)
Castaic Upper, fished Slalom Cove and caught 8 LMB all on Robos in about 5-15 feet of water.
Fished Castaic West Ramp this morning. Got there at 6:20 and got two LMB off to the right of the launch ramp. Caught both fish between 7-8am, then nothing afterwards from 8-11am. Caught first bass, approx. 2lbs on a night crawler. Caught the second LMB, approx. 2-2.5 lbs on a drop shot robo worm(Hologram Shad straight tail). This was actually kind of cool, since I always read about the drop shot being hot. I have only tried a couple times before, and this was my first drop shot fish. Threw it as far as I could straight out to where the 5mph bouy is, let it sink to the bottom, reeled it in a few feet, then let it sit for a minute or so, then wiggled the rod tip a bit. Once I stopped I saw my line straightened out, then it went slack, then when I saw it start to straighten ourt again I knew something was there, so I set the hook rather hard and there it was. As I got it towards shore it really started to fight, I thought that maybe it might be a 4-5 lber. It actually took me under a big rock and I was actually stuck there for a minute or so before it came back out and up out of the water. Finally got it in and it was a solid 2+ lber.
If anyone has any drop shot tips, I would love them, it was still pretty cool getting that first one.
