I looked at the recent catch pictures on the Santa Ana River Lakes board before trying it last night. My bad. The pics showed small catches, which were dated.
Next, I read posts on this board and noted that most of the "catching" was from boats, which provide more options than fishing the shoreline. But, when it's "on" I can do very well from shore.
Then, I checked out the size of the fish caught. Most were smaller than trout.
Who do I blame for my poor outing? MY SELF. You see -- I just had to get out in spite of the "red flags" above. Another way to put it: I needed a fishing fix. :ROFL:
Fished from shore and moved to different spots. Caught 2 small catfish. Almost embarrassed by their small size. Sorry. No pics. Not worth taking the camera out for dinks.
Nice air, clean shoreline and good exercise but poor shore fishing. Save your money until they get serious with their stocking in a few weeks. (Also, live shad were everywhere. No wonder the cat fishing stunk. Tons of shad in that lake. The cats have feasted on them.)
I still like SARL but would not go back until they post some real cat fishing action from it.
Have a great 4th of July.....
