Hit up Piru with my pops again for some more trout action. Overcast and drizzling in the AM. Start to put out the lines and get slammed at 30 feet by a... Largemouth Bass? LOL. Nice fat 2+ pounder! Jumped twice and was released for his effort! (We never keep bass) Slow morning with almost no wind. Had some short hits but the trout didn't really turn on until after lunch.
After lunch the clouds moved out and it got HOT! We were really missing the Piru morning/afternoon wind! Fortunately we deployed the proprietary sun shield. (see pic) Afternoon wind finally kicked in to cool us off and the fishing heated up instead. We limited out on trout around 30 feet/8 colors. Downriggers and leadcore did the trick again. Tried deeper for some holdover action, but no love today.
The hot lure today was the "T.O. Special" Kastmaster. See my last report for more info. Thanks, Bob, for the fish dope! Firetiger Needlefish also slew a few today.
Another relaxing day. So far we've burned about 3 gallons of gas in two trips. 50HP Tohatsu TLDI. Gotta love it! ;)
