Piru is the best I know of around where i live. Ive seen some good reports out the the marina cove at Casitas, almost all of the lakes further south should have really good crappie fishing. Then you got Isabella, very good crappie lake if your willing to drive up. I was at one of those pay lakes when they drained it, no cover, lots of shad and lots of fish, I dont remember which lake it was but but I took a whole truck load of fish for a relatives pond and there were some nice crappie in there. Where do you live?
