Lake Cachuma Rpt. 4/24-4/26 w-pics

[Red Drum]

I went camping at Lake Cachuma with Jason “jscrib” and Mike “bajamike”.

Mike towed the “Red Drum” and I towed my Starcraft pop-up tent trailer.

We fished a half day Friday, most of the day on Saturday and couple hours on Sunday for a mix of 20+ Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, 2 Crappie and 1 Rainbow Trout. All Bass were caught using plastic worms, except one of the Smallmouth Bass ate a spinnerblade. Mike caught the biggest Largemouth Bass that weighed in at 4.3 pounds.

Here is Jason with his first Bass of the trip.

Here is a picture of the lake conditions on Saturday afternoon, we had to pound through all the crap to get back the ramp.

Jason playing my REMO Djembe back at the campsite. Jason had brought his acoustic guitar, so we got to jam out to some of Jason’s original and seriously humorous songs. That was some fun stuff.

On Sunday I met up with Stuart “greylight” on the water, and took a picture of his 2 big Bass that ate a crank bait. Nice Bass Stu!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I can't wait to do my next camping trip next month up at San Simeon Campground. Hopefully the winds will be light. Fishing the kelp beds and deeper hard bottom areas up there can be some insanely WFO fishing.
