My biggest tip on traveling here in California or across the Country is to travel by car...it is so much fun because you can stop when you want, eat where you want, and there are many things to see along your destination, especially when going to Las Vegas...the lights from the I15 Freeway is a spectacular sight...when you see that, you know you're in for a great time...bring lots of spending money for great eating, and shopping, and Shows...There is great fishing, golfing, camping almost anywhere you go in the U S A

In California, it depends on the lake or stream, the time of year and what you're fishing for...In Southern California like Lake Castaic, live shad or Nightcrawlers work good. Nightcrawlers usually are a good bait for Bass or bluegill...Bass will hit on lures depending on the action and the time of year
