Water levels at Castaic have been consistently full all summer with temperatures near eighty degrees. Labor Day boat traffic made for tough fishing over the weekend, but by midweek the striped bass had settled back into their reliable patter of surface feeding. Anglers found boiling fish throughout the lake, and white Flukes, spoons, and topwater lures all fooled the 2-to-4-pound zebras. Bass anglers got in on the boil action too, and those same baits worked to land small and largemouth. Bass anglers worked drop shot, Carolina rigs, and Senko style baits in deeper water for plenty of action as well. Catfish were a good bet in the fish arm of the lake on cut anchovies and nightcrawlers.
