Once again, it’s time for the Tuesday fish report for KHTS AM-1220:

 

Freshwater Report:

1)  Castaic Lake…Very good striper fishing near the Marina, Kong Island, Necktie Canyon and the Buoy Line; the stripers are chasing the planted trout.  A 14 pound striper was caught this past week!  Toss a kastmaster or small swimbait for best results.  Another trout stocking will take place TODAY.

2)  Pyramid Lake…Good striper fishing here, because of a recent 2700 pound trout plant; anything that resembles a trout works the best.  Fair fishing for largemouth bass; catfishing is fair to good on cut baits and nightcrawlers.

 

3)  Lake Piru…The bass are enjoying the higher water level of the lake and are biting in depths of 8 feet to 25 feet.  The crappie are liking it too; find some structure and fish small jigs with meal worms for them.

 

4)  Lake Cachuma…Everything is slow, except the trout fishing.  For trollers, fish with Rapalas near the Dam, Harvey’s Bay or Cachuma Bay.  Shore anglers should try Marina Point, E Point or the Mohawk Pier.

 

Another trout plant is scheduled for 12/13 (so, why not call in sick!…I’m kidding).
