Hello everyone,

 

I am new to the forums. I just wanted to know what are some good locations around the Los Angeles Area to fish for bass? I am also close to the OC (Orange County).

 

I heard about a Lake call Legg lake? Has anyone ever fished here?

im also interested in this i might be moving to cali and I'm worried my fishing will be coming to an end 

Legg Lake is cool (heavy pressure) but way cool and convenient. I can usually hit it up an hour at a time (either before work or after) so I am no expert but check out my pics for some bass that I've caught there. I've seen others catch big ol' bass using big ol'baits. Good Luck. Puddingstone, Santa Fe Dam, El Dorado are nice (parking fee at times). There are other great lakes not so close to the city but plenty of fishing available in SoCal!

yes, lots of city park lakes to fish. Just have to look around, some are free and some you have to pay to park. Quite a few have double digit fish in them as well.  They just get lots of pressure but they can be good at times.  And if you want to drive about 70mi, you have Diamond Valley, Skinner, and Paris to the East, and north of LA and the valley you has Castaic and Pyramid. 

Pick up WON weekly fishing new paper, all the public lakes have weekly fishing reports.

Several city park lakes and some pay to fish lakes. Google maps search should be able to locate some smaller lakes to try out.

fishing coming to an end? more like welcome to bass heaven!!! florida largemouth baby!! Laguna Nigel lake is a great small lake near where he is.  and as for the guy moving to Cali.  Are you kidding me? i moved from the east coast 7 years ago. i fished the potomac river for 14 years and the biggest bass i caught was 6lb.  Ive been fishing lake casitas since october.  since then i have caught a 8.6 and a 7.5 in the same week in January. a bunch of 6lbers and 5lbers too.
