Can't decide between lake perris or lopez lake this weekend, they're equal distance from my house, so where would you go?

Stay home and fish Casitas at night from shore.

Perris requires driving through a lot of traffic, DVL is the same distance, same traffic. Lopez is mostly country driving, lot easier trip.

Did you get caught fishing Aires closed area?

Tom

I would fish Lopez. Me, hank*, and Joe H. are going there in 2 weeks for the weekend and last time we were there Joe H. caught a 6 pounder on a watermelon jig

Have you tried fishing Lake Piru at all during your suspension from Casitas?

Lake Piru has been closed to boat launching and may reopen soon, if the new management can get the ramp cleaned up. Rain will help.

Lopez boat ramp is open right?

Piru ramp is open, my suspension is up November 10th. so there is that.  the lopez ramp is still open but barely.  lots of nice rocky structure at lopez , but not lots of bass. sure are a lot of blue gill though.  Ive tried Castaic, pyramid, lopez, Castaic lagoon, and none of them even come close to Casitas.  People just have no idea how good casitas is.  There are lakes that allow water skiing and jet skis , and then there are lakes that don't . Casitas doesn't , pyramid, Castaic, lopez do; and that makes a difference.  I saw bass on my graph that day, but they were suspended off drop offs spooked by the jet skis. lopez could be a killer lake, just needs more baitfish

Did you end up catching any at all? Just curious to know cuze I'm going there this weekend.. What were your best spots?
