The department of fish and game will be stocking trout this week so please call (661)-775-6232 for an update on the trout plant. The striper fishing off the dam and the shore line is still on fire. Anglers are catching them off sardines and anchovies in about 35 to 35 feet of water and it still seems to be a better afternoon bite. A few stripers coming in from the boaters but these fish are still the small schoolies. The Shoreline is producing bigger fish with an average of 4 to 8 pounds while the stripers being brought in by boaters are on average 1 to 3 pounds. Anglers are still struggling to figure out a way to hook these largemouth. Most anglers are seeing fish all around the boat midday but it seems like nothing will even phase them. So the more natural colors are still the best colors for the plastics. The early morning bite for the bass has been pretty good still but just like the stripers they are more active in the afternoon hours. The lower lagoon is starting to slowdown as far as the swimbait bite goes since the trout population is becoming slimmer since the lower lake will not be receiving any more trout until further notice.
