I fished Castaic this morning with John “FarmerJohn” on his boat. The agenda of the day was to look for boils in the morning and bait & wait after.
We got to the lake later than usual, so we did not see any boils. We went to the bouy line bait down @ 8.15am…..wait…….wait………….and wait. Not even a nibble, we moved two difference spot, but not thing touch ours line, we metered ton of fish, but they don’t bite. By 10.00am we moved to Elizabeth Canyon bait down and waited….wait ……wait and moved to last spot….wait..…..wait and more wait .
At about 12.45pm I asked John to drop me off to go home to drop some lures at Gallions and to pick up my son from school, as planned. And take the skunk !
On the way in, we passed one point in the corner of ours eyes we spot a small boils, we turn around and with top water lures I got 1 striper and 1 lmb on that boil, John got one small striper on that boil also. The boil fizzle out as fast as we saw them and we circle around to look for them……..and we found them in the middle of the small cove with a larger boils, we motor over and the fun begin………………..In the next 15min I caught 5 stripers and John could not get bit, so he tie the KPN top water on first cast as the lure landed he hook up with a nicer schoolie. We end up with 8 in about 20 minutes.
This is the first time I saw a larger school of shad, nicer size too.
Here is the picture of the LMB.
Cooler shot.
We did not take any action shot, because we too busy fishing the boils.
John stayed back for the afternoon bite/boils.
Good luck John and thanks for the invite.
KPN.
