Lake Castaic Honoring Veterans - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

OEX Sunset Beach · 11-13-2013, 08:46 AM

I had an urgent 4 pm appointment back in Huntington, so I had to leave by 2pm. It was hard to leave knowing they had just dumped 2000 pounds of trout. I would have stayed until closing if I could have. My one fish was classic surface iron YT style. Saw 2 gulls get excited above a little trout skittering across the water. Cast right in front of it and 2 cranks and BENDO, loved it. Had one other fish a few cast later right in front of the docks, but it came unbuttoned. Checked the time and had to bail.

I stuck with throwing the big baits all morning without seeing a single boil, Triple Trout and BBZ and worked on the popper technique. Saw some bait soakers get fish from the shore and heard hoots from the dam, there were about 60 people fishing there.
