Castaic Lake dropped a few feet, and water temperatures remained near eighty degrees

8-30-2024
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

Castaic Lake dropped a few feet, and water temperatures remained near eighty degrees. Anglers chased boils with topwater, the bubble rig, and small swimbaits for the first few hours of each day. Striped bass, largemouth, and smallmouth can be fooled during the boils. Striped bass also took trolled shad imitation flies in 25 feet of water. Bass anglers found biters on drop shot, Ned rigs, and Senko in 10 to 20 feet of water, but most of the bass were on the small side. Bluegill have been biting in the backs of coves, and anglers can catch a lot of the panfish with any live worm under a bobber. Catfish fell for dip bait, nightcrawlers, and cut sardines in deeper coves around the lake.
