[cool] Hey there anglers! Inspite of a mildly cooler morning at the Lagoon, there were still some fish to be caught. None of them were blue gills though as they were all in hiding. The water temp was at 74deg at 5:00am. The LMB were sounding off like cannon ball as they were jumping out of the water. ( This is the part where I broke down and cried for not having my flyrod with me). I was still able to get off several casts with my 4" and 9" swimbaits. Nothing was taking the bait. I continued my workout until around sunrise and switched to my dropshot setup. BINGO!!!! Large Mouth city around the pier.

Just a little dropshot roboworm was enough to entertain the small LMB(2# or less) and as soon as I pulled out my selection of Wild Eye plastics, then the bigger boys decided to come out and play. Notice I said "the bigger boys" not the BIG BOY. There was a few 6-8lbs that were trying to make a big kill on those little plastics. Needless to say, I had alot of fun C&R and I am still on the pusuit of Moby Dick aka THE BIG ONE. After all was said and done, and I had already packed my gear up to head home, the old Torpedo Tommy decided to come out and play. I chucked him a nice crawler to hold him over until later. He took it with pride and I think he laughed at me. I've tried crawlers before with him and he would never touch them. Oh well. Until next time. Left around 10:00am.

Thank God the lake will remain open. That way there will be a next time!!!!!!

Hey there BC, I was on the dock and that was me with the purple worm. Did he mention that they guy on the dock was wearing a BFT shirt?? ha ha. Yeah I was dropshotting purple and getting some good hits.

My son didn't come with me so I didn't bring my tube. I will be there this Sunday with the tubes though. Maybe I'll see you there if you can make it. Next time, tell the lifeguard that you are getting your son ready for the big league tubing action of the Lagoon but you have to start him off with something smaller. ha ha.

Anyway I did throw a whole crawler at Torpedo Tommy just in disgust because he didn't even come out while I was rigged up. After I put everything away, then he came out. sheeesh. Moby Dick was nowhere in site. Maybe next time.

[cool] Hey there FF, I saw your comment on the joke board. I can't stay up that late anyway. Some of us have to fish before going into work. You know??????[] Have a good one. We need to meet at Castaic one day or somewhere else. I'm sure we could find a place for a couple of tubes to fit into a body of water.
