We have live shad for bait! There are huge schools of shad showing up in shallow water at Lake Casitas in Ventura California. It all started around a week ago when we began netting small balls of shad in isolated little spots on Lake Casitas. It just seems as each day goes by we see larger and larger volumes of bait moving into shallow water getting ready to spawn. What I mean by this is the threadfin shad are moving into shallows and swimming and cycling as they go through their spawning ritual. Each year this gives us the opportunity to move in with special nets and reach out and net this live shad and use it for bait with incredible results for our bass fishing guide clients. It's super fun fishing as you're using a light action spinning rod with 6 pound test line and fishing the shad with absolutely no weight on your line. This allows everyone in the boat to get involved with the bass fishing action and the size of the fish we are catching has been fantastic. Almost all the fish that we have caught have been between 2 1/2 and 6 1/2 pounds. Just fantastic quality bass fishing right now at Lake Casitas in Southern California. This is a wonderful time to book your Bass fishing guide trip and we will have all of your rods reels and tackle ready when you arrive. It's especially good if you want to bring your children nieces or nephews fishing. Like I said this live bait is easy to fish with and it allows everyone a great opportunity to catch one of the biggest bass of their lives. We have bottled water ice and packaged snacks on board for all of our fishing trips. A half-day fishing trip for one person is only $225. You can call or text me at 818-439-1154 to get more information as we can take anywhere from 1-20 anglers fishing. We use my beautiful 21 foot long Phoenix bass boat for groups of 1-3 anglers. Four groups of 4-20 people we utilize our fishing pontoon boats which are super comfortable and great to fish out of and each boat can hold 6 to 8 anglers. We have half-day fishing trips which are four hours in length and we have a full day fishing trips which are eight hours. We are open seven days a week and can customize your trip to meet any of your needs. Like I said this is a wonderful time to book a fishing trip and we are open every day of the week to get you out on the water. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
