Cant catch!

What is a good lure to use on feeding/boiling bass first thing in the morning and at sunset!!!???? I live in So Cal, and fish local lakes and reservoirs, mainly....My local fishing hole has big ass bass that are severely pressured by boats/people/anglers. Any suggestions?????

Stick baits! Rapala, Rebel or Berkeley. Or jointed stick baits (shallow divers).
Cast past the boiling fish and reel in very slowly with an occasional twitch/pause action.
You don't say where in So Cal you are fishing but when I lived in Chula Vista I fished Otay and used a heavy casting spoon (for the distance needed to reach the fish) and managed to catch quite a few bass from a school that was boiling on bait.

That's me right there! Handled it using an inflated nightcrawler that I casted in the area where boiling...I caught two 2 pounders, a 3 and 1/2 pounder (casting a 1/2 ounce rattL trap blue gill colored) while casting at boils, though!). Also, landed a 9lb. catfish, in two trips, within two days, at the same exact location on the lake from shorline!

Caught the sketchy 5lb. BASTARD!

Reading is backwards...on the scale and hard to see, my bad...fishing solo.....The only way to land big ones!
