Bass chasing schools of threadfin shad is the way of the world at Castaic lake. As we fish our way toward the close of the summer season we continue to have very good topwater fishing for both largemouth bass and stripers. Each morning we chase breaking schools of largemouth and stripers that move around from day to day. It's really exciting fishing and sometimes the fish stay up for quite some time as we cast a variety of top water lures to the schooling bass. Without question the super spook has been absolutely the best bait for both largemouth bass and stripers. We have also been using a 1oz. Kastmaster for distance if the schools are spooky and don't stay up long. It's an absolutly wonderful time to book of bass fishing guide on Castaic Lake. We have been starting every morning at 7am. We offer half-day trips that are 4 hours in length, and we have full-day trips that are 8 hours. Each morning our clients meet us at the dock where the boat is already in the water and ready to go. All of your fishing rods, reels, and tackle are rigged and ready when you arrive. We are starting each morning out by chasing schooling largemouths and stripers, and then netting live shad and flylining the shad on light line for both strippers ond largemouth in the afternoons. Castaic Lake is a tremendous bass fishing lake and offers a great setting for fishing guides to teach their clients more about Castaic Lake. Without question most guide clients are choosing the week days to go out fishing as the boat pressure is extremely light. Most all of the public schools are back in session, so September should have very little boat traffic on the lake even on the weekends.
