Decided to hit morning bait bite up at castaic with a friend on monday. Didn't have time to get fresh dead , but had a few bags of anchoives left over from the last trip I had frozen. Starting to figure out what to look for on my electronics when I am out metering around to determine wether or not its worth stopping to bait fish. Hit a couple of outside areas, saw fish but nothing worth stopping on. Headed to necktie and metered around that whole area until finally saw what I was looking for then and decided to give it a try. Turned out they wanted the bait on the fall today! For the most part the school stayed put and didn't move more than 50 yards...I made sure I was directly over top of the school and followed them around with my trolling motor. At the most active, the school was up around 25-30ft of water.... but for the most part they stayed between 45-70ft of water. Had to leave early to head into work but had a decent morning.
