Well first of all,I want to thank Troutdog and Man vs Wild for the invite to this lake.Thanks for everything both of you as a matter fact.It was super fun !

Got up at 4am really not wanting to get up cuss I went to sleep late.Grabbed the cooler and headed to the ATM machine to grab 20 bux.Hit 7-11 for coffee and blacks.Hit the freeway going to Man vs Wilds house.Packed all the gear in his car and off we went.Arrived at the lake about 6:15 and bought our passes and Troutdog we find.Grabbed out gear and set up off shore.Fair morning.Not to hot,not to slow.Set up one line inflated crawler,second line powerbait. First fish cought by Troutdog!

One thing about LNL is the trout usually have nice tails and fight really nice.

Good job! I love Laguna Niguel. It's almost lke a "boutique" fishery, catering to families with its no-alcohol approach and style. Don't get me wrong, I love a beer or six every now and then, but there's an element that's present where alcohol flows and I just don't always want to feel like I have to set up on the belt-fed-weapons-only beach to protect the turf I paid my gate fee for, like I feel when I'm at other compounds.
BTW, do you have a float tube? That's the best way to get into the 'Niguel fishery. As someone else said, keep fishing down there and you will bust your PB, I guarantee it.

I was there today as well. Got to the lake late at around 7:00am. The lake was PACKED! Like almost a weekend packed. I stayed near the creek inlet and got to fish the right side of the launch ramp for the last few hours. People around me did all right but no limits. I ended up with only two for the day jigging powerworms. Guys to my left were doing all right on powerbait&crawler combo. Around midday all you heard were crowds of people around the launch ramp declaring accolades. My biggest was 5lbs the other a 3lber. Unfortunately there for sure were tiny fish in this lake as I saw a few 1lbers being caught, VERY RARE for LNL. I guess the people at the launch ramp must have killed it because they left early and I saw two other guys move to their spot at the launch ramp and land over 8 fish in the last few hours. Seemed like one was doing well on the minijig and the most were on the furthest rod to the right of the launch ramp. Saw at least 6 hit that one rod in a row cast out about 10-15 feet. At this lake it really is about LOCATION. Some spots are just so consistent. Hey did you guys see the confrontation? Someone said that there was an incident where someone crossed another guy's line and the guy pulled a knife on him! Then the Orange County Sheriff's Department was called in and some Deputies handled it. Everyone was talking about it at our side of the lake.

People were saying just that someone pulled a knife on a guy for crossing his lines and now the Deputies were at the lake handling it. And everyone thought it was overboard over fishing. Anyhow that sucks that you didn't do anything and some ******* had to lie to law enforcement. First he is gonna be an *** and push people around and then lie about it to the police. Drama. Isn't that what fishing is supposed to be about?...getting away from the drama. Well I hope you caught some nice ones and enjoyed the lake anyhow. I personally thought the weather was really nice today. The lake was glassy and calm. All I got to say is you and I know for sure there are more fish in there!

Last night I clean one of the fish Hitts caught on this thread. The skin was very tough getting off and the flesh was orange. The taste was a little bit stronger,but still good. I'm use to the delicate skin trout. So if anyone could tell me what species of Trout this was, I will be so thankful. Cindy:Big Grin:
It was big enough to feed 3 peeps and was still a lot left over,that was a big Trout:Shocked:.

LNL stocks Mt. Lassen fish right now. Word has it that they are a sort of "private reserve" in Mr. Mackey's hatchery operation, different than most others he plants. They are, however, Mt. Lassen fish. He does a lot of hybridizing, so they may just be a cross. Pink meat is achieved with pigment in the food as much as coming from cold water. Whichever it is, it sure is tasty.
That tough skin is because the fish is so big. Wait 'till you catch a DD, you can almost tan the hide it's so thick.

That was a nice one Hitts. Congrats on your PB! I had a good time out there fishing with you guys. I just couldn't punk the skunk. The guys to the right were catching and you guys were on my left were catching, I guess I was in the farming spot. All in all it was a good day, I got to fish with friends and my baby girl, all I needed to do was catch a fish to top it off. I felt ok coming home knowing that I wasn't the only one with a skunk out of the four of us, until we talked to troutdog and he said that Cruz caught a big one after we left. Good luck at the Vine tomorrow. My son has a basketball game at 2:30 so I won't be able to make it.
I will post up the pics I have as soon as I get my new modem. i'm on dial-up right now... it sucks!!

FIsH ON!!!
