This is my first post on this site, first want to say thanks for all the great tips and photos you all put out there for us to see. I never fished Castaic but plan to do so this Friday or Sunday. If I catch nothing and just manage to pass inspection, miss the wind, and do some boating the trip will be a success for me.
The quagga mussels situation is new to me, I watched a 6 part video on youtube on how to prepare. I am bringing my 15 foot whaler for the visit. I cleaned it, dried it, dried it again, and hope that between now and then and the way to the lake it does not it get wet. I have 100% saltwater fished so far with this boat.
I am bringing my wheelchair bound cousin for a birthday fishing trip, he lives in Valencia so Castaic is the best option, plus he loves to fish but never gets to go. Are there wheel chair accessible fishing spots on the lake if the wind is too high to launch?
Can a cooler with ice be brought on the water or must it all be dry foods and sealed bottles only? How do you keep your catches cold?
Plan of attack is to troll some swim baits, throw plastic, and fish cut sardines.
Big thanks for any answers and will share my experience of the trip on here.
