Legg Lake is cool (heavy pressure) but way cool and convenient. I can usually hit it up an hour at a time (either before work or after) so I am no expert but check out my pics for some bass that I've caught there. I've seen others catch big ol' bass using big ol'baits. Good Luck. Puddingstone, Santa Fe Dam, El Dorado are nice (parking fee at times). There are other great lakes not so close to the city but plenty of fishing available in SoCal!
