Castaic Lake Fishing Report 11/02/25

There were some major afternoon blowups in the very back of Dry Gulch mid-week. It happens fast, seemingly out of nowhere so there is some luck involved to be in the right place at the right time. Trolling and bait fishing is slow to slower.

In the middle of the day, small jigging spoons or KastMasters fished near the bottom in twenty to thirty feet of water are producing lots of numbers including Striped Bass. Fish these in the middle of the coves instead of near the shoreline to intercept the schools of Bass as they come in from deeper water. Timing of fishing areas is very important.

The huge main-lake schools of Stripers have broken up into smaller groups as they enter the bigger coves. They are pushing baitfish up against the shore making for some exciting fishing. As they are in shallower water now, they are more likely to hit without boiling as they see everything that hits the water.

Excellent fishing continued this week despite some heavy winds towards the weekend. Bass averaging two to three pounds are eating surface baits in the morning and again in the afternoon. Custom painted 007 Bait Merchant Riser Baits along with Lucky Craft Sammy’s, and C3 Baits Flukenstein’s in Shad patterns continue to dominate most lure choices.

Espetit 95’s in white or White Flash and Lucky Craft Sammy 100’s in Ghost Minnow and Pearl Threadfin patterns are as good as any. I fish mine on a 7′ medium action spinning rod with a 4000 size reel and 12# monofilament line. This outfit will get you a long cast and eliminates the chance of backlash during the high adrenaline casting into the boils. The mono line will eliminate connection knots and keep your lure on the surface, keeping snagging to a minimum and letting your lure perform properly.

Dropshot rigs and light-line Carolina rigs fished on main-lake points and rocky areas are becoming effective again just about anytime of day. Bait Merchant Calligators and Prototype worms are getting bit regulary along with just about any of the finesse baits in the C3 lineup.

Fishable boils are providing action thru the day with some of the best action being mid-day in the Ski Arm. There are still some boils happening in the morning by the forebay buoy line. Espetit 95’s in the White Flash pattern and Lucky Craft Gunfish and Sammy 100’s in Shad patterns are producing fish averaging five to seven pounds.

An increase in fishable boils are providing action thru the day with some of the best action being mid-day in the Ski Arm. There are still some big boils happening in the morning by the buoy line, mostly out of reach by the forebay dam. Espetit 95’s in the White Flash pattern and Lucky Craft Gunfish 100’s in any pattern with a white belly are producing fish in the five to seven pound range.

Once the fish sink out to the twenty foot depth range the dropshot rig fished on main-lake points and steep rocks remained effective, producing some quality bites going into the weekend. Any of the C3 Baits or Bait Merchant finesse worms in the Neptune Shad pattern continue to produce throughout the day. Wacky rigged Senko’s and C3 Baits Slim Pro’s are also putting some nicer fish in the net. Definitly an uptick in fish size this week as the Fall pattern approaches.

Triple digit air temps and falling water levels spurred a medium algae bloom that kept some of the surface action to a minimum mid-week, reducing what were good boils to simmers. There is still action to be had once the wind starts blowing, sometimes not til late morning. Small topwater baits like Bait Merchant custom Riser Bait 007’s, Megabass Karashi’s and smaller Zoom Flukes continue to dominate this bite. Dropshot rigs will provide action along steep walls and main-lake points in the twenty foot depth range once the surface bite subsides.

Temps well above triple digits kept some of the surface action to a minimum this week, as most species kept their feeding to an hour or two with the 80+ degree surface temps. Small topwater baits like Bait Merchant custom Riser Bait 007’s, Megabass Karashi’s and tiny Zoom Flukes connected with good numbers of bass to three pounds. Casting into a splash circle within three seconds or so is a good way to rack up some better numbers as these are aggressive fish, usually feeding in small groups.
