Pyramid’s Best Biting at Marina

It’s not good for the boat rental business, but some of the best fishing at Pyramid Lake has been right around the marina for largemouth and striped bass.

However, a regular nicknamed “Largemouth”--because he doesn’t like to have his name in the paper--caught seven stripers and 12 bass at Yellow Bar, plus a smallmouth bass in Glory Hole Cove. He released all but one striper.

Meanwhile, at Ventura County’s Lake Casitas, the biggest fish of the week was caught by Eric Mason, 11, of Oak View.

Marina manager Randy King said: “If that kid works as hard in real life as he does at fishing, he’ll go a long way.”
