I used your technique at castaic lake and i finally caught my first bass there after getting skunked like 5 times in a row lol. It was also my first time catching one on a senko. Thanks so much bro really appreciate the video!

Nice touch with the drone!!! Dude I haven't caught that many fish in all my years fishing that windhole!! LoL Nice job, great video, beautiful boat.

Great informative video. Will look for more videos for sure. Thanks for the great vid. Awesome job fishing

Dude when you catch the one that follows your bait I think there's another one following behind it!! Bro sick video. Very educating!! Can't wait to get back to Castaic soon. Great video from all aspect!!!!

Dude! All day!!!! Different techniques…. What a day! So fun!!! Drop shot is a winner for me and I always try top water in the morning. Caught a lot on Googan Hound walking bait, the Googan Revolver, Googan Blooper and lots on wacky rigged and shakey heads.

Congratulations on getting monetized man this is a great one!!!

Extremely educational video, especially for a total beginner like me. I was having a lot of trouble understanding what the bite on a Senko looked like and didn't realize that it was so subtle. Do you mind explaining how you knew that you had a fish on at 12:00? I didn't see any movement in the line, so I'm guessing that you felt the weight of the fish when you lifted your rod? Would be great if you could do a video breaking down the basics of fishing a Senko in CA (colors, sizes, when to throw weighted vs weightless, what areas to target, bite detection (especially telling the difference between a fish and weeds/grass), etc.), since the conditions out here are quite a bit different than in other states. Thanks again for making this!

Nice video Matty. Love the overhead drone shots.

I haven’t had too much luck at Castaic from shore. A fish here and there but nothing extraordinary. May rent a boat next time

03:30 what kind on line are you using? Seems like whenever I go higher than 6 lb test I get skunked. So I tend to stay at 4-6 flouro

Hello, I actually live in Castaic. Are you fishing the senior weightless or?(bad eyesight). Thanks!

Wow ! Congrats on going to the Bassmaster classic! My son just told me !!

You can never go wrong with a "FAT IKA" by Yamamoto. Green Pumpkin candy works good there. And if they're busting on shad, I throw a weightless zoom super fluke jr in Rainbow Shad. The Strike King Baby Rage craw on a 3/16oz Shaky Head with a size 2/0 hook or a 1/0 Jig Rig is excellent there also in the Green Pumpkin or the Blue Craw Red Flake. Follow me on IG@BassmasterIce.

I fish Castaic every week with a drop shot. Do you think Texas rig Senko would also work from shore? It seems I would not get snagged in the rocks fishing it that way?

Hi Matt! I’m ready to finally give Senko a try. Drop shot is not effect right now and I have so many Senkos. What you’re feeling on wacky rig? I have a medium light spinning set up with 6lb fluorocarbon. Can I wacky a 5 inch or should I go with 4 or something else? The water level is so high and I’m thinking about focusing on the dam in the coming weeks. Thoughts, Tips, Recommendations? Thank you!!

Also, how long do you generally make your leaders. It would be awesome if you did a complete gear review video, showing all your setups, as well as bait choices based on seasons/conditions. I have been trout fishing for more often, and have not Bass fished in awhile, however I really want to get back into it, so I appreciate your help. Any other information is greatly appreciated. I fish some of the same areas as you. Thanks
