Lake Piru

Started off first thing in the morning,
Went straight to my go to spots this
Time of year with 11 crappie and bass
Everywhere!! 30 - 50ft range’....
Wind was starting to pick up so decided
To fish the tree line on the other side of
The lake. East side,, picked a few here
And there, then went out a little deeper
And found a new honey hole!!!
We left them biting for another day,,,
White and green was working ..
It didn’t mater .: lol...

Water is going down big time,
Need rain again for the lake..

If you fish Piru you know these

Did you fish??


CM

Wow! Awesome catch.

Mike,

Yes I did. Caught a few Crappies. Trying to figure out how to stay on them. Lots of fish metered in the 45 feet range but the wind would move me so quickly that it was hard to stay in the zone. Are you drifting or do you find the fish and then anchor up on the spot? Great lake for Crappie in the LA region. Best bites I had was on the west shore in the cove just to the right side if the rental dock marina.

Also, its amazing how deep it is even though your close to the shore. Talked to some bass fishermen who s add id they caught crappie earlier down by the launch ramp that is out of water. Lot of brush above the water in that area.

Caught on Friday. I am still learning but love catching crappie. Caught about 26 Cats on Saturday at Santa Ana River Lakes between 7:30-10:30 AM. All catch and release for others to enjoy!

chatmar nice job on the crappie how low is the water at the ramp for launching boats. Thanks for reply keep then coming.
