Yesterday morning I hit up Irvine lake again trying to beat the big Santa Ana winds that where forcast for yesterday afternoon thru today. Plan worked out great. Got to the lake around 5:30am and was aound the 30th car in line. Not to many people there yesterday. Anyway rented a boat again and trolled all morning in great conditions. Here's a pic leaving the rental boat dock


and looking west toward the damn


Tried a few different lures but the hot pink Mira shad was still my top producer as you'll see in the pics with all my fish comming on them. Also, 90% of my fish came off Rocky pt. Anyway, took a while to get bit as I think my first fish came at 7:03am

second around 7:36 or so

then a little lull. Around 10 to 12 it went off pretty good,
third fish at 9:53am

fourth at 11:11am

hard to admit but I also dumped 4 or 5 right at the boat between 10am and 1pm. Had to be home by noon to smog my wifes car and then pay the reg. so I was trying a bit hrd to get that fifth fish so I could get out of there and get home but it only made me late as I stayed untill 1pm trying to get that last one. Never happened but I left happy with 4 and a ton of mist oppertunitys.

Days catch


Might try Laguna next tome or maybe even get off my butt and take the skip out for some lobsters or maybe some butt'n.
