I'm sitting at the office thinking about taking the 6th off to tube Corona when I get a message from Poxy Boggards wanting to fish the Irvine opener. We thought better of it, anticipating huge lines and droves of fisherman.
We get to the lake just before 6 and were launching the boat by 6:20. I ask Wes where he wants to fish and he said "where else, lets try the G spot". We anchor up and Wes chucks out a piece of bait that immediately gets hit by a really nice catfish. After that, it was pretty much wide open for us. Around 10 or 11am we decide to try out the troll. We picked up a few trout and a couple crappie, but I'll warn you, there is so much to get hung up on; I think I ended up losing 4 lures to the ubiquitous submerged trees.
We limited out fairly early and called it a day with 10 fish at 25 lbs. The weather was perfect and the bite was hot. You can't ask for much more on a Friday.

Here's a pair of Wes' fish.
