Decided to hit up Castaic again after class. Wanted to try the West Ramp since I've never been there before even though I've lived in the scv for most of my life. I was excited from the get go just seeing all that structure in the first cove. Gave the lizard another shot thanks to tips from other fnn'ers and It seemed like a promising day as I got bit within a couple casts. Missed the hookset though, and put on a new lizard as that bass took a chunk of it off. Then it was all downhill from there.
I never lost so many lures in my life... several D/S's, carolinas, and a jerkbait. It was getting frustrating having to re-tie so many times. Obv, more structure = more snags. I wanted to try hiking down more past that first cove, but I was seriously down to my last couple worm hooks so I didnt wanna risk it. Anyways I'm still excited to come back and hike that west ramp trail as I've already been up and down the east side of lower lake a million times. If anyones got any tips regarding shore fishing upper lake, I'd appreciate it, either via replying or pm.
Also if anyone wants to join me, I'm planning to do a morning session sometime next week since its getting hot as f*ck late in the day. Just shoot me a PM if youre down, I dunno when yet, but no class next week so probably sometime during the weekday when lake pressure is lowest.
