Friend and I hit Castaic lower lake for 4 hours Sunday. I working a pop-r on the rising fish to no luck, so I tried split shotting a grub, but the weed growth was too much for the grub, so I went to drop shotting Oxblood.

And Got a 4.6# 21" fish. My friend also nailed a 1.5# dropshotting Oxblood also.

We also called the caltip line after a I confronted a guy who kept a 15 1/2 large mouth (Castaic is 18" and a 2 fish limit) He argued that a large mouth wasn't a black bass....Oh well I hope he got a ticket to prove he was wrong.
