Well, I went and had a few casts from the fishing pier last night just as it was going dark. Hooked into what must have been a trophy boulder on my last cast... other than that it was a beautiful evening, but no action. I was casting a green crawfish t-rigged with 3/8th tungsten slider. 20 lb braid to 10lb Fluorocarbon leader 3/0 EWG. Guess that's NOT the right bait to use this time of year ?

Hey Darren. mainly used method feeder and long pole to amass very large bags of carp etc. Fishing in the UK has suffered a lot from the “Black Plague” of cormorants. Only Carp seem to go grow quick enough these days to escape these birds. nowadays I’m happier Centerpin fishing for coho and Chinook ?

Just a quick introduction. My name is Jeremy and i’ve Recently moved down here from Vancouver, BC. I usually fish for Salmon/Steelhead but also dabble with Smallmouths on Vancouver island. I used to fish Castaic Lagoon 20 years ago, mainly for Carp (I’m English and love fishing for these fish). Anyway, I’ve just purchased a baitcasting outfit and was wondering what Castaic lagoon is like now? I see you have to pay to park these days! I only plan on fishing after work in the evenings. Is there any advice somebody could give on access etc. I need to learn a bit more about LM bass but I’ve fished all over the world so techniques should be easy tolearn.  any advice would be welcome ?
