Dfg planted at 9:30 this friday morning

Thanks, Bert7. I've only caught the stripers on cut bait and small ones on live shad. Where do you recommend fishing for the stripers after the trout plant, around the dam near boat launch? I have a Pencil Popper, a trout Super Spook, and one of those big AC plugs, but I haven't really fished any of them. What do you recommend using and where? I really want to land a big striper on an artificial bait!

Thank you very much for the update I was just gonna give em a ring.Do you know where they dumped,the main or the west ramp?As far as where to fish,if they dumped at the main ramp then around there,and if they dumped on the west side then fish around there.I would stick to the ac plug or the pencil popper.If you chuck it enough,they will come.Good luck.

just got home from castaic. Overall bite was slow. I ended up with one solid striper on one of my plugs and 3 hits. Saw a total of 7 stripers landed all day. Two guys i was fishing with had a 10 and 15. But the bite was very slow for such a large plant.

Hey Dustin, I think I talked to you on the dam. I was wearing a blue hat, black sunglasses and a black sweatshirt.

Hey Dustin, you gave me your number at Castaic last Saturday after you took that nice fish. When will you be there next so I can take a look at your plugs?

I hit up Castaic again today and caught an eight pounder. There are still tons of trout cruising around. You just have to find them and the stripers will be around.

HEY NEMORINO ILL BE UP AT THE LAKE NEXT WEEK. dID YOU FISH THE NIGHT EVENT? WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT STRIPER MY DAD GOT THAT WAS ALL I SAW THE WHOLE NIGHT. LET ME KNOW WHAT BAIT YOU LIKE AND ILL MAKE ONE UP FOR YOU OR JUST SELL YOU THE ONE YOU SAW. dID YOU FISH THAT NIGHT?

Sorry I did not answer right away but I been in Castaic all week just got home to simi valley It sounds like you are on a boat, if you had live shad. Agood place to fish when they plant is at the point on the right side of the ramp (north side) and the cove where the old road ( (when you start down to the lake notice the gate straight ahead it is gated) at the bottom of this road in that cove is also a good place because the trout will hold in there.
There is trout still holding at the west ramp but no striper or bass yesterday and today.

>the trout will hold in there.

were you fishing from shore over there on monday morning?

No I was fulling around with the trout at the main ramp. There was a dead striper on the north shore that was caught around 3:00 in the morning, there were about 5 guys fishing there and when the police started to spot lighting the area they all ran. By the way the police have been sitting at the west side of the dam at the end, all day and night.

Didn't they plant at the main ramp side? Or was it the west ramp?

They only planted the Main ramp and the lower lake The trout at the west ramp are from the friday plant at the main ramp.

cool, fisheez r on the run! )><{{{{{}^> ~ ~ ~

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I have a boat but have had limited success with the stripers except on anchovies at the dam during the summer. Hired a guide in Oct. who turned me on to the live shad and we were knee-deep in bass all day with 5 or 6 schoolie size stripers as well. I really want to hook into one of those monsters on a plug. I'll try the spots you mentioned. Do you have a favorite lure?
