I caught the 17-7 striper two weeks ago at Castaic. We were trolling deep, in the 40+ foot range with big 11" lures that look like trout. The big one can be any where, especially on the points. I saw another guy trolling pick up a small bass trolling 11 colors of leadcore. Go out there and be persistant,
cast, troll or what ever. Big baits catch big fish.
