On Sat. the plan was to goto a lake near Camp Pendleton cause my wife needed to qualify at the range for the Army Reserves.

Yeah I know the Surf is just a cast away but I had my 9 month son with me so I can't really surf fish and watch him at the same
time.

So did some Goggling and looked at the maps on FNN and found Lake Wohlford and Dixion. HHHMMMMM Decisions? I choose Wohlford cause it shows that you could just drive up, park, unload and fish! Important issues when you have a lot of gear and only one person to lug it! Boy can wait till you get older!

Plan A was to set up at the Senor Shoreline but no space. Plan B was Boat dock cove.

Got there and found a spot @ 10 . As I was pushing the stroller to the shore I see a angler leaving and has a Killer stringer he's pulling out!

He later walks by and informs the person that took his vacated spot that the stringer came in at 17 lbs? Couldn't really hear. but looks like I'm in the right place.

Had 2 rods out, one with rainbow PB and the other with a power mouse (chartreuse worm and red egg)

30 mins go by and the PM rod gets a customer little 1 pounder that I CR'ed and the guy next to me say's "don't let the park rangers see you do that" I didn't know you can't CR. So I figure I'll give them away next time, since I don't want to take them back to Pendleton, so rebaited and sent it out.

About 2 hours go by and nothing! No one else is getting anything knowing had to be back on base @ 1400

Changed up the PB offering since I didn't get anything to PM (Orange worm and chartreuse egg) and about 30 mins later...

came in @ 5.2# on the Rap scale! Great fighter! Made two drag peeling runs! Thought I was in the Sierra Nevada's for a moment!

Nice fish. I went there 3 times 2 weeks ago and it was slowwww. Everytime, there was about 15 anglers around Boat dock Cove and saw only 4 fish caught each time. I was there when they stocked and they are some nice fat trout.

It was kinda slow but the scenery made up for it! Will be going back for sure.
