Hey guys,
The bass club I'm in is fishing Castaic this saturday and I was wondering how often does the lake shut down due to windy conditions....it would suck if we all drove up there (from Moreno Valley) to fish and they shut it down on us....any opinions...
btw how has the Bass bite been up there.
Thanks
They will shut it down to to very high winds at anytime.Check the weather reports.Todays winds onlu got up to 8mph.Yesterday they were up over 20 and they didnt let any boats on.It doesnt look like any wind on saturday,but double check.
Alright thanks for the info.....what happens if we get on the lake then the winds pick up??? will they come get us and tell us to get off or once your on.....your on?
I believe once your on, your on. But be very careful, the wind and waves at castaic is no joke man.Quote:

The wind at Castaic can get pretty nasty, but the way the lake is shaped there's always somewhere to go hide from it. If it's nasty on the fishing arm, go over to ski arm/elizabeth canyon kind of area and it's usually more protected. In the morning it's generally pretty calm, the wind will kick up in the afternoon and by the late afternoon it usually dies back down again. If it gets really windy I usually just ride it out. I've never been stuck in a situation I thought was unsafe or felt like it was REALLY hard to retrieve my boat. Just take your time and all will be well.
If it gets ruff,just stay close to the shore lines.....dont go in the middle until u really have too.The patrol boats are always watching n driving the lakes when it gets hard....especially in them lil rentals...
