Anyone fish this lake for smallmouth before?

I've fished for stripers there a few times and caught a few smallmouth as bycatch.
Off the points are where I was getting hit, trolling an umbrella rig with swimbait jigs.
It's get windy there, very windy.

I have been considering it for some time now looks like fun.

I fished a bass tournament there last year and caught a nice 4lber off one of the points. there was a big mud/silt cloud and he bit a brown worm on the dropshot as I dragged it slowly from the brown water into the clear.

This is my only experience fishing that lake though, and I have heard that Pyramid is a tough lake to fish from some experienced bass anglers.

I want to fish the bottom bay? at Castaic sometime. heard there are a bunch of monsters in there.

Having lived out here in Santa Clarita for over 30+ years! I've had opportunities to fish Pyramid with Tourney Bass Angler's and yes it can be a B!+c# to fish. I've had better luck fishing "Jailbirds" while up there.
Castaic's afterbay used to produce many monsters over the years when they used to use it for Tourney weigh-ins and released the fish there rather than back in the Main Lake. Since there are no size limitations on what you can keep, sadly I can say I have personally seen many 5+#'s and even some pushing 10#'s taken home by people who don't understand that these are NOT stocked fish. :(
The annual Float Tube Tournaments are no longer producing the hefty weights they used to when these tourneys began back in the early-mid '90's. :( It used to be the "BigFish" prize would always be over 8+#'s, now I can't remember a time when there was a fish over 5#'s. Any fish over 2#'s (or any LMB) is becoming rare which is why I'm not as much into :reel: LMB there any longer. :(
