Well it appears that it will be a go! I spoke with Dewayne Maxwell with the DFG today and he stated he would be sending the permit tomorrow!
Last night at the Friends of Castaic Lake meeting we were allocated enough money to have a Cash payout for the top 3 fish! The pay out is as follows $300 for 1st, $200 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd places. I have spoke with some Tackle stores and vendors and I have some very nice product that has "tenatively" been promised for the event. I hope to have enough product to pay down past 3rd place.
The Derby will offically start November 1st, and will last till December 15th at which time we will have a cerimony to present the prizes to the winners.
The derby is free to enter all you have to do to enter is when you catch your striper take it to the main launch ramp have it weighed in, fillout the form thats it!Easy. More will be posted later. Please tell everyone you know who fishes for stripers about this event! If you have any questions or comments email me at castaicdave@sbcglobal.net
God bless

Thanks for all the effort Dave. I'll do my best to post one for the derby. Speaking of which...has there been any reports of fish on the trout plugs lately??? I was out fishing the west ramp the other day but didn't fare so well. Any pointers? Thanks a million!

some guy stuck a27lber on the last plant,banged it out on a ac skinny,this derby is going to be interesting with all the bait being dumped into yhe lake,i wouldent be surprised if the winning weight is over 30lbs.im going to have to put some time in up there,i know they are going to be going off big time within the next few plants .good luck fellas,and let the bodies hit the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!


got 2 fish......

I know the guy that got the 26 pound striper. He wasn't using
an "ac skinny" He's throwing a bait called a "Skinny Trout"
The only place that has them is Bob Sands. Just thought that I'd
clear up the misunderstanding.

I thought it was an AC skinny too!Where can I check one out at?Is there a website or something?

Thanks for any info.

The only place I've seen them is at bob sands in Van Nuys.

thanks shane,good lookin out bro.

Now if only I could catch a striper out of there. Everytime I chuck the big stuff I get largemouth, now only if I can time those trout plants. Any tips for me Dave ? How about your custom spinnerbaits ?

You're sad story is breaking my heart, Musky :-)

I haven't caught anything but weeds throwing the big stuff, but I'm just getting started.
