brushhawg1 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Casitas is the premier big Bass lake in that area. You also have Cachuma and Lopez further up the coast , both of the lakes , I would characterize as more numbers lakes and both of those lakes have smallies as well. natalex85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuddMan101 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I live by lopez and its a great lake, but i strongly believe that santa margarita lake is worth the extra hour drive. chrisstanley11 and natalex85 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaterBait Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 If I could figure out how to pm I'd put you up on a couple spots. Not big lakes but still sick spots. I caught fish on huds punkers and spro bbz1 all in the same day. 5-7 pounds natalex85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisstanley11 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I fish Margarita multiple times a week and the fishing has been really tough since the lake came up... Swimbait bite is almost non existent except for a follower I had the other day that nipped it right at the boat. I was killing it there last summer on swimbaits but since last fall with the exception of one hudd fish and 3:16 fish I have yet to get another bite on a swimbait. I love Lopez but never really fished it hard with a swimbait usually just throw a jig. Lopez has a bunch of shale rocks and it'll eat your swimbaits. They do stalk trout there however! I've heard casitas has been pretty good I talked to a guy the other day that said he was doing prettt good on hudds there! natalex85 and HuddMan101 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrocephalic Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hit up iso_the1, I'm pretty sure he's from that general area, and a cool cat to fish with. Wish I could help you, but when I was in SB I was mainly trolling for tail in Isla Vista. (Hint: an A-rig of Natty Lite trolled down DP kills on Thursday-Saturday night) chrisstanley11, HuddMan101 and natalex85 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
