Off The Hook

Well me and my dad decided to spend some time on the water New years day. We hit up Castaic and were able to get into some nice striper action. Below are a few pictures of some of the fish we caught. I ended up with 4 and my dad got 1. We lost at least 5 others. All fish were caught on one of my homemade swimbaits on the surface. No monsters caught today but these fish fought very hard for there size. We only saw 1 boil all day and metered most of the fish in 40 feet of water. They were coming from the deep to hit the surface lures. All the fish were released to be caught another day. Sorry guys, no blood in this report. LOL. Good luck out there.
