Got to fishing again with T.O. at one of his local striper kill spots Castaic-
Its been a few months since i got to killing and seeing mr stripey blood, so i called up Uncle B to see if he had any scheduled charters- BINGO, i'm in- Told him I would be one of his latest guide shows...
I got to Castaic by 10.45am, I saw Kenny at the tackle shop and he gave up some good info, thanks Kenny! THen i saw T.O. waiting in the marina area- I caught his attention by almost jumping the docks with my truck lol/jk-
Unloaded my gear into the Salmanoid Phenom, and parked my truck. Got in the water by 11am and we were off. We started to see some big boys near the top, and down below, so i pulled out one of my swimbaits, and so did Uncle B (2) ;) Everytime i have something new to show T.O., he has like 10 million more suitable or better ones! hahaha
We did the troll for a few with no hits, and T.O. said he had a spot to bait, noticed that the water clarity was excellent as well- On the way there, we saw Mr stripey, big and small on Bobs finder...We then got to the buoy line, and saw Farmy and the boys slayin and doing there things- We setup and no longer than 5 minutes TO gets hooked up! FISH ON, 1st stripey of the day...soon to follow, i casted out and wham- the stripeys were comning in waves, and almost instantly the boats around us got hooked. Sometimes the waves would come and no hits around all the buoy lines, so maybe they knew the baits=instant bloodshed ahahahahah...
After a few hours, the bite slowed down-- TO's yellow magic rod goes SUPPPPER BENDO- and Uncle B does the deal/fight..."kewly this ones a good one".... -bink' the hook popped- Even the Pro's get popped off once in awhile-
We cast out all freshies again, and this time my rod goes BENDO- instantly after the cast...i fight it in, and told T.O this is a nice one- as it got to the boat, it hammered downward....a few more pulls, and a great net job by T.O.-
woohoo-! The day ended up with a few mr Stripeys for taco's (thanks for the menu the way Susan makes em is the way i'll try~! :Wink:) was making me hungry out there! Uncle B missed a few big boys as they came near the boat, and came unbuttoned...also when i was messing around with one of my swimbaits..."someone followed it up to the boat" what a feeling that was....
Anyways, the bite was somewhat mellow, but they were all there- and the fishing is always GREAT when on board T.O's Guide Services- Glad i got to get my lines wet with ya Uncle B, thanks for having me aboard! Can't wait til the summer- keep some of you dates open/unbooked! hahahah
Til Nextime-
FISH ON!

"infamous Buoy line" (remember you can't tie up, so we were anchored to the side, winds kept blowing us towards there-lifeguards came around and gave their warnings- to those tied up they allsplit the spot after the "guards" came through...

And then there was this little duckling that kept us company for the last hour of the day- was pretty entertaining-
