Today was slow for largemouth, just like it has been for a few weeks at the Lagoon. Robo Bass and I arrived at around 7:45 after stopping by Castaic Tackle (small store, but has good stuff) to pick up a couple things. We went to a couple different spots for nothing and then finally went to our secret crappie spot. Robo Bass caught 2 crappie there fairly early in the day and one was huge. I still hadn't caught anything and I thought I was going to get skunked for the first time in a while! We fished in some different areas for largemouth, but I still hadn't caught a fish. Finally we went back to the secret crappie spot and I caught a good size crappie. A couple minutes later I caught a small crappie that fought as much as the bigger one, because it was hook on its side! Haha! Then after a few more minutes, Robo Bass hooked into a MONSTER fish. It was going crazy and making long runs. He would reel it up some and then it would make a hard run back to the bottom. His drag was burning the whole time! Then it made another powerful run and Robo Bass put his cranking hand on the rod to get some extra leverage to keep the fish from pulling his rod in the water, but he accidentally grabbed the line along with the rod! This made it so that it wasn't letting any more line out while the fish was making a run and the line snapped! It was terrible after seeing how much the fish was fighting. It must have been huge, but we aren't sure what kind of fish it was. The water was around 50 degrees today and the air temperature was even lower, so we were cold most of the day. We ended up staying until closing once again. I can't wait for the largemouth bite to pick up!

My first crappie of the day. Pretty nice size and fun to catch.


I didn't take a picture of my second crappie because it was pretty small.

Robo Bass's nice 2 lb crappie.


Robo Bass's smaller crappie.

nice crappie guys, i wish i coulb be out there
its not that secret, that spot is very recognizable hahaha

It is kind of secret, lol. One of the picture gives away some details, but that is it. You need to go to the Lagoon soon!

Nice Crappie, What about the details, What Bait, Did the big fish hit a small crappie or a crappie bait? Who's the naked fat person, bent over in the water in the right side background of "Robo's Smaller Crappie" Picture? Is that Geo giving his opinion???!!

Used spoons with crappie nibbles on the hooks

It's pretty obvious but you can only get there via watercraft

i knew it once i looked at the pic
ill be out in .....

Yes, but the exact location is key! You can't tell the exactly location from the pictures. It doesn't really matter though.

ill paddle around in my canoe and graph it on my fishfinder
its not a massive area

You have a fishfinder for your canoe? Nice, I am going to get one for my tube. I will just tell you the spot if you want to know, lmao.

Lol ya you are welcome to come with us any time on your canoe

yeah i have one suction cupped on the side of my canoe and i want to get some wire and ty my fisshfinder on the end handle instead of it on the floor

hey fireball do you think you can help me and my friend catch our first bass weve been trying and trying but we are still new to bass fishing.Maybe we can meet at the lagoon one of these days.Your help would be appreciated.I am about ur same age im 17 and i love to fish

Ya, I might be able to help. The bass fishing right now is really slow. If there is a week where the weather is good the whole week, then the bite usually picks up. Most of the fish have gone deep, but there are still some left that you can catch from shore.

thanks.Ive only fished for bluegills,trout, and carp and ive been trying to find a spot for bass around me and the closes is the castaic lagoon.

how long ahve u been fishing the lagoon

i havent fished the lagoon before.me and my friend are planning to go there next week or something.i just thought we can use some help

ohhh, well i think its not that great right now because they let in water from the upper lake....cold water. plus the weather we are all getting here

ohh i see.hey fireball are u going anytime soon?

I go at least once a week, but I already went to the upper lake and Lagoon once this week. I don't know when I am going to the Lagoon again, but it will be soon. I will be in my float tube though.

once a week!!!!!!!!
i can barely go once a month when im getting good grades!!!

Well you live twice as far away and you used to go every few weeks, but you haven't gone in such a long time now!

im just "charging" my "skills" for spring

hey just wondering who takes u guys to the lagoon?and do u guys fish there by yourselves?

I get dropped off at the Lagoon and fish by myself or with Robo Bass and/or swimbait101. I also get with my brothers sometimes too.

thats pretty cool.i would either get dropped off also or just go with a friend.when are u going to start driving?

I am going to get my license next month (hopefully). If you get dropped off, then you don't have to pay for parking, which is nice.

yehaha thats true.i still havent even gotten my permit i gotta get to work haha
