Trying to put together some places in the S. Cal. area that hold decent smallmouth.  I think DVL is the closest I can think of but would love to find some small lakes just outside of the metro area that I could hit up without having to drive 2hrs from Long Beach.  Anyone able to give me some ideas where to start looking?

Lake pardee is where I'd spend my time if I live out west,

The Next world record is going to be from there, the fish are getting huge feeding on the trout!
