Hi Everyone- Any info on these questions would be awesome:

1) When/How did Castaic ever start having Smallmouth??

2) Any specific places in the lake where you would target them? Or would just be by chance that you are fishing for Largemouth, that you end up catching these Smallies??

3) Finally, I fish a lake in Northern Calif. where I do really well on Smallies, and the bait of choice is/are Crickets. How would this do at Castaic? Would they just catch bluegill/crappie?? Would the crickets work for the Smallies that are in Castaic? Or would this be a case of crickets working up north just because of that specific lake and its forage??


Thanks!!!!
