ya castaic isnt the best springtime lake.. every time the fish start to spawn the water raise up with lots of cold water and im not sure if the fish just stay on those beds that are then 20 foot underwater or what.... was tough fishing most of the spring for me.. and no bigs.. havent even got anything really at all over 2lb.. maybe 1 or 2... sad.. got kind of a lot of smallmouth mixed with largemouth this year though cant wait till i pull out a 4-5lb smally. anyways here a couple on vid.
