Got to the Lake late on Saturday around 5:20am. It was super crowded. I couldn't find my keys to leave eariler and my Boyfriend was telling me to eat before I left also. Then when Charles finally found the key under the bedcovers, I went and picked up my Friend's daughter Sonya. This was her first trip to Irvine Lake. Her family fish saltwater at the beaches.
Made a call to Patrick aka Troutman65,said hello to him. I finally got thru the gate at about 6:40am and I usually fish "The Flats" and I didn't go there because I thought it would be crowded already. I should of followed my 1st. mind and went anyway.
It was super cold out and we went to a spot on Trout Island Rd. next to the big tree,Big mistake!!! It was a road now covered in water.The dirt was rock hard. It took a lot of strength to put in the rod holders. We met some nice Peps,Scott his wife and their Dog.. I may have convince them to join Team 57. They were also impress w/Yamafish rod holders.
I set up and in about 5 minutes,my bell goes off,very gentle,fish-on. He was pan-size. Not picture worthy. Shonya got one about 2 hours later:

Then It just got colder,and we sat and sat. The sun peep out and ran away a couple of times.
I took my next door neighbor to meet Rodger because she wanted to buy 2 rod holders. Sonya and I stayed there at the bait shop. I had lunch with Yamafish and his son. Nice seeing and talking to you Rodger. I bought some gear. Then we went outside and talked to Jimmy, I also spoke to Sue and seen her nice Fattie she caught. Talked to TM65 again. I also said hello to One-Leg, seen 2Quickmotorwerks. Said hello to Robert,last years Berkley winner. I seen GrannyFish,didn't get to say hello. Hope I didn't miss anyone's name I did see.:Razz:
