thank you!! thanks! Ill make sure to check some of those lakes out

Hello, my name is Brian and I have been fishing for over 5 years. For my age, that is quite a long time. I enjoy fishing saltwater and I find myself frequently doing so. I would say I am quite experienced when it comes to saltwater but recently a friend of mine and I went to Castaic Lake to try Bass fishing for a change. I caught my first bass on a whopper plopper and it was amazing. The bait was blowing up all over the place. From then on, I have been hooked on bass fishing. I caught 5 more bass that day but they were all dinks that I managed to catch on an in-line spinner. I have been bass fishing a lot after that and it just gets better. Ive caught quite a few fish at different lakes. I know in So-Cal the bass fishing is tough but I was wondering if any of you know of any better lakes? Its not to hard to say many locals regularly get skunked here. I live practically next to alondra park and I am lucky to have caught anything from there (3 pound bass) Does anyone have any tips on lakes or tackle that I could use? I mainly use soft plastics, but I will throw hard baits and topwater when the time is right. Thank you and have a good day!

I have fished el dorado park in long beach multiple times. I have caught a few dinky bass and nice 4 pounder. I have also caught a rainbow trout (when they were stocked) and a few bluegill and crappie. Yes I have caught some fish there but I never have the best luck. I usually throw 6 in roboworms and flip jigs in the heavy weeds. I regularly get skunked there so I was wondering if one of the lakes is better than another or if I should start throwing other things?
