you have the right baits but are fishing too early for the panfish. It maybe another month before they begin to spawn. BTW not a good idea to post your phone on public board

You have to get into the zones for the time that you are fishing.. Lake Piru fish are biting now they are just not in full swing yet.. Fish the side of the lake where the sun hits first and therefore warms up first.. The fish will be more in those areas.. Look for transitional zones and structure.. The transitional zones are where the deep water is near a shelf that comes up shallow.. The fish stage there and start their move into shallow areas.. Look for structure, the fish use this to hide and or ambush food.. If you find the depth pattern (what depth they are working) the fish will be at that depth around the lake. You then look for the other elements I stated above you will improve your catch rates.. Hope this helps..
