Bassin' USA - Bass Fishing Forum Archives

Hi all first report!

First let me say that fishing this lake is kinad like fishing in a pet shop. The lake is man made, has a concrete shoreline and was filled with water about 40 years ago. We have fished there twice before, once for a total of 1 dink, and the second time a whole day for 3 1-2 LBers.

That being said, I took my son there yesterday as he only had a half day of school. We started fishing about 1:pm and fished till 4:PM. fishing from shore we worked the lily pads and bublers around the shoreline.

I fished a Fat Boy Ika in watermelon green for a total of 12 LMB. These fish are starving, and are for the most part long and skinny!

My son (who is 13) fished a wackey rigged Senko, the Ika, a shakey head, and even thrw some top water for a total of 12 LMB.

Like I said it was kind of like cheating. But it was a great way to spend the afternoon with my son!

I will post pics as soon as I figure out how.

Way to go Capt'n and FishBoy. Nice report and nice bass too...... wow 12 each that must have been on heck of a bunch of fun for you guys.

I've never fished there, I'd like to try it sometime...... is that private?
How do you get there?

Yeah the bass just love the watermelon Fat Boy Ika... that has become one of my favorite lures.

Sorry Capt'n, thanks for the invite but I won't be able to make the event for the handicapped kids at Castaic this weekend.

Good fishing to you guys, later................... geobass

Hi Geo,

It is right off the 101 freeway and valley circle. Yes it is private, I was invited by a resident to fish there. No ninja stuff for me or my son!

I truely must thank you for FishyBoy and my success! It was you that shared that Fat Boy with us, and LMB fishing has never been the same. Thanks !

Hope to fish with you again soon!
