Castaic Lake rose to 77 percent of Its storage capacity, and water temperatures remained in the mid-fifties. Bass anglers reported fair to good fishing with finesse baits fooling most of the fish. Carolina rigs and drop shot have been the go to baits with shad and ox blood getting attention from small and largemouth. A few fish were also reported on crankbaits, War Eagles, and Keitechs. The striper bite has been on the slow side except for a few standout catches. Striped bass close to ten pounds were reported by anglers trolling umbrella rigs in 50 feet of water. Catfish ate Carolina rigged dip bait and cut sardines.
