Hi Peter,
I float tube in the Castaic Lagoon a lot. That particular bass was caught & released from the East side of the lake about 200 yds North of the fishing pier about 50' from shore in 25' of water.
I always use lures or artificial plastics.
Roboworms-rigged Texas or Carolina - drop shot
Red Devil Spoons
Mepps Spinners
Jiggs - tube style.
I've caught most of my larger fish on the West side from Paradise Cove, center of rocks by spillway, all the way up to the swim beach area.
Hope this helps you. What area do you fish from?
