The Stripers are still not full strength as of yet, with only a few boils on some days. Bait Merchant 007 Riser Baits, LuckyCraft Gunfish and Espetit’s will call these fish up to the surface if you find the schools. There are huge schools of six pound fish and smaller schools of two pounders as well.

Castaic Lake Fishing Report 06/22/25 This report was made possible by Jim Taibi's 661Fishing.com Guide Service. Visit his website here and catch more fish. Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass: Good Bass fishing most days as we get past the spawn for the Bass and Shad. Smallmouth and Largemouth averaging one to two pound are making up the bulk of the counts. Standard soft plastics presentations with just about any of the C3 Baits are still effective, but there has been a shift to surface activity and reaction style fishing. 007 Riser Baits, surface poppers and Flukes are getting the attention of some bigger fish along with hard jerkbaits like Lucky Craft Pointer 78’s and 100’s. Fishing with Live Shad is producing some three to five pound fish as they start hunting Shad in wolf packs of ten to twenty fish. Striped Bass: The Stripers are starting to show on the surface but the bite is not full strength as of yet. 007 size Bait Merchant Riser Baits, Lucky Craft Gunfish and Espetit’s will all work if you are lucky enough to be near some boils. This will turn into an epic season in my opinion, as there are huge schools of six pound fish and massive amounts of baitfish. *Launching is at the West Ramp Only*.

The most productive depth zone has been ten to twenty five feet on main lake points and shoals, and bluff walls. C3 Baits Shimmy’s in the Neptune Shad pattern fished on the Carolina rig continue to dominate the action overall. Dropshot rigs are accounting for a few bites also with three to four inch finesse worms doing the most damage. The water is pretty clear so lean towards colors like Neptune Shad and Watermelon Magic for the C3 Baits and Margarita Mutilator and Aaron’s Magic for RoboWorms.

A recent stocking of some bigger Trout has lots of anglers fishing the shoreline with the usual dough baits and nightcrawlers. Lure chuckers are connecting with Rooster Tails, Thomas Bouyants and Super Dupers. The fish are getting hammered with the good weather and the bite won’t last long.

C3 Baits Slim Pro’s on the dropshot and Shimmy’s in the Neptune Shad pattern fished on the Carolina rig are still getting the majority of the bites. Both arms of the lake have been good but the anglers that are looking for fish with sonar before casting a line are doing better. There are schools of bigger fish down at forty feet but they are hard to entice at this time.

The bite remains pretty tough on most days, however the recent string of warm weather and minimal wind has produced a decent bite on mostly smaller fish in two to twenty feet of water. C3 Baits Shimmy’s in the Neptune Shad pattern on a dropshot or light-line Carolina rig are still getting the majority of the bites.

A big load of Trout from one to eight pounds (and maybe bigger) are keeping anglers busy in the West Ramp area. Bait anglers are getting bit on Berkley Mice Tails, Gulp pinched crawlers on a dropshot rig and inflated nightcrawlers on a Carolina rig. Two to four pound leaders are best.

A decent week of fishing as the bite on one to four pound fish contiunues in the 15 to 25 foot range, with finesse plastics accounting for the bulk of the action. Wacky rigged stick baits like the C3 Baits Slim Pro or 4-1/2″ straight-tailed RoboWorms on the dropshot were the most consistent baits and techniques.

Targeting secondary points and cliff walls with wacky rigged C3 Baits Slim Pros on the dropshot was the most consistent technique. C3 Baits Shimmys in the Neptune Shad pattern continue to dominate the light-line Carolina rig. A few fish are being caught on small crankbaits and hard jerkbaits in the same areas.

Surface boils are in the rear view mirror on what was an exciting Summer and Fall bite. There are still some fish biting for anglers utilizing reaction baits like umbrella rigs, KastMasters and Keitech Fat Swing Impact paddletails on jigheads. Trolling Yak flies on lead core is slowly gaining speed as the schools go deeper and get into the bigger coves.

There are basically two groups of fish. Some that are still chasing Shad and Minnows on the surface and others that are down around twenty feet keying in on the Shad schools that are migrating into the bigger coves from the main lake. Riser Baits, live Shad and small Flukes are catching the surface feeders while dropshot and Carolina rigged finesse plastics are scoring quality fish deeper.
