Hello! This is my first post on the forums so bear with me. I have been trying to get into bass fishing, but haven't had much success (I have only been bass fishing once so that's probably why but anyways). I'm pretty sure that the spawn has passed on my local lakes here in SoCal (Casitas, Cachuma, Piru, Castaic, Pyramid). I've heard that swim jigs are good to catch post-spawn to early summer bass. My question is: What are the best colors, techniques, gear, line, etc? Really, any tips to catch bass during this time period would help a lot. Also, I have a kayak but I won't be able to get it out onto the water until summer at the earliest, so I'm limited to the shore for now. Thanks for any advice!

Hey everyone super exited to be apart of this amazing group! Im actually new to bass fishing started about 2 years ago and totally in love!! I grew up in LA and was here until I was almost 30 but never fished. Moved to Boston for work 5 years ago and started fishing the cape, Long Island sound and buzzards bay for tuna, tautog, stripper and black Sea bass. Loved all of it but really loved the finesse part of fishing for stripper and tautog. Which lead time to fishing for LM and SM bass On of my mentors is a huge bass fisherman and said I should come out to his pond to learn how to bass fish and since that day on Dudley pond when I caught my first large mouth I found my new passion!! I fished large and smallmouth up in Mass, new hamshire, Maine, Maryland, Virginia and Vermont ....shore, kayak, canoe boat whatever gets me to the action. Love fishing top water, chatter and worms haven't had the best of luck with other baits but that's the game I just keep trying new things. Worms specially senkos are my go to. Just moved back to Cali this week, redondo beach specifically, and have been trying to find places around here to fish for largemouth without a boat , mainly shore fishing and fishing I can do early am or pm. Therefore trying to find places within 1 hr of me. I know people fish alondra park in lawndale gonna go there this weekend to check it out but that's ill i know if around here. There are supposedly other ponds in the area That have some good LM I just don't know where they are. if anyone knows any good spots/ lakes/ ponds in the manhattan beach redondo beach, Hawthorne lawndale South Bay Area just let me know. I will fish anywhere haha I just love it and want to get back at it!! Any tips for fishing down here will be greatly appreciated! I super easily going guy and always down to meet up with good people, learn and share( if I have any haha) new tips and tricks and just have a good time fishin! Looking forward to meeting everyone! Good luck fishing and I hope the bite is good for all of you!!

Hello all, I'm a new resident to Southern California. I am a Florida transplant. I was involved with club tournaments, local opens, some BASS events, and some FLW events. Now living in Los Angeles, i have yet to go fishing and the itch has begun. I'm seeking some help to see if someone would have an open seat or a spot in there club for a non-boater. But any information would be awesome. Thanks so much
