Went back out to Castaic Lake a few days ago for my last trip before I head to DC for the summer. The forecast called for windy conditions, so I hiked down to a protected cove and starting looking for a topwater bite. Nothing going on the topwater, but I pretty quickly caught a striper on a jerkbait. Fished finesse for the rest of the day and managed a few largies and a smallie on a drop shot and a senko. It ended up being a decent day of fishing, even though I pulled the hook on a nice fish. 

Sad to leave SoCal for the moment, but excited to check out the fishing in Maryland and Virginia!

 

 

Nice haul!

It was a fun day! My first striper in a while.

My first was a 14lber that stretched longer than my bump

board and took my kayak for a ride of over 75 yards! All

in a reservoir that doesn't stock them. Was first on record  

 

All the rest I've caught have been in salt. Great fun.
