Halibut Hal backatcha with this weeks exciting KHTS 1220AM local freshwater and saltwater fishing reports.
Here’s what’s happening at our local lakes:
1) Castaic Lake….Lots of surface boils this week from both stripers and largemouth bass! Early morning and late afternoon are the best times. Try the coves for catfish, bluegill and crappie.
2) Lake Pyramid…The stripers are also boiling here! These are mostly one to three pound fish. Try the coves to catch bluegill and catfish. There’s good bass action in twelve to thirty feet of water.
3) Lake Piru….Fair to good fishing for all species (bass, catfish, crappie and bluegill), mainly in the coves.
4) Lake Cachuma….The shad are moving even shallower than last week; and both smallmouth and largemouth bass are waiting to ambush them. Bluegill are biting well. Catfish and crappie fishing has slowed.
