Anyone fish this lake for smallmouth before?

I've fished for stripers there a few times and caught a few smallmouth as bycatch.
Off the points are where I was getting hit, trolling an umbrella rig with swimbait jigs.
It's get windy there, very windy.

I have been considering it for some time now looks like fun.

I fished a bass tournament there last year and caught a nice 4lber off one of the points. there was a big mud/silt cloud and he bit a brown worm on the dropshot as I dragged it slowly from the brown water into the clear.

This is my only experience fishing that lake though, and I have heard that Pyramid is a tough lake to fish from some experienced bass anglers.

I want to fish the bottom bay? at Castaic sometime. heard there are a bunch of monsters in there.

Having lived out here in Santa Clarita for over 30+ years! I've had opportunities to fish Pyramid with Tourney Bass Angler's and yes it can be a B!+c# to fish. I've had better luck fishing "Jailbirds" while up there.
Castaic's afterbay used to produce many monsters over the years when they used to use it for Tourney weigh-ins and released the fish there rather than back in the Main Lake. Since there are no size limitations on what you can keep, sadly I can say I have personally seen many 5+#'s and even some pushing 10#'s taken home by people who don't understand that these are NOT stocked fish.
The annual Float Tube Tournaments are no longer producing the hefty weights they used to when these tourneys began back in the early-mid '90's. It used to be the "BigFish" prize would always be over 8+#'s, now I can't remember a time when there was a fish over 5#'s. Any fish over 2#'s (or any LMB) is becoming rare which is why I'm not as much into LMB there any longer.
