Monday robert got a 15lb.13 lb.and a 10lb. large mouth at the lower lake with the new castaic trout. He was retriving at about 3 ft. per sec. or one turn a sec. hold over trout between 1 and 3 lb. has been caught every day. Some striper at the west side up to 8 lbs. on blood worm and night crawers blown up, anchoves are ok also I saw about 7 total for the week I went to check on the guys every day for about 2 hrs. Went out on the boat thursday but no luck the stripers were not biting at the large float at the dam 7 boats one fish. large mouth bass were bithin they are starting to lay ther eggs.

thanks for the report bert.
i was up on thursday for 1 duck.
I'm going up today with a buddy on his 18' trophy. he has a few swimbait rods that i want to check out before i buy one. we'll probably wind up dunking anchovies along the rocks at the west side if anyone is around. maybe the jetskis will wake up the stripers.

let me know how you made out and where.

>let me know how you made out and where.

My buddy had never been boating at castiac so it was more of a boating and rod demo morning than seriously fishing. we were off the lake about 11 when it started getting busy.

I fell in love with his 800XL with cork wrapped butt. as usual, champagne affair on a coors light budget.

oh yeah. dunked cut anchovies during brunch in a spot I metered on thursday in the slalom cove. my buddy got hit immediately but missed it. that was it. saw a dozen or so boats dunking chovies up higher but they looked like they were all snoozing.

I may hit castaic or piru for one day this week

I wasn't aware that Castaic had a new bait out.Are you sure it wasn't a huddleston?

That what it was sorry my error.

Bert,
The Robert that your talking about wouldn't happen to be Robert Flaata? JUST wondering.You wouldn't happen to have any photos of the fish?I was kinda shocked to hear that the fish were caught on Monday. The conditions havent been all to good the last week with the water clearing up and all.
