Castaic Lake held at 96 percent of capacity holiday crowds made fishing difficult over the three day weekend. The bite rebounded later in the week and anglers fooled bass with stick baits, drop shot, and Ned rigs. The local C3 brand of stick bait has been an angler favorite lately. Striped bass anglers reported a decent cut bait bite by the buoy line, but the real action was closer to shore. Striped bass chased massive bait balls up on shore early in the day, and anglers armed with topwater, Kastmasters, and white swimbaits reported catching 20+ fish. Check along Sharron’s Rest, and the mouth of Elizabeth Canyon for some good action on two pound striped bass. Catfish anglers reported decent fishing along the dam while using dip bait and chicken liver.
