Irvine Lake Fishing Report 5/27 Catfish are biting~!

[Legacyz]

So I got off work today at around 10:00 AM and really wanted to go fishing.....hit up my buddy Sam and we made it to the lake at about 12:00 PM and had the first line in at 12:05 PM.

we fished right on the right side of what use to be the Lagoon right after you cross the wooden bridge. We managed to hit our limit within an hour using mackerels dipped in some dipped catfish sauce that they sold at the tackle shop.

I wish I brought my Camera but I forgot it again and I ended up taking a picture of the fish when I got home

I realize that I was way too lazy to clean it just yet so I left it in the bath tub while I relaxed

After I finally got over my lazy slump I went and fillet all the fish that we caught

I deep fried it using a special batter I made and this is the result

Damn that looks like some good eats! Congrats on the day out man, those arn't stockers you caught either are they? Don't believe cats have gotten stocked there yet this year. Nicely done!

[Fishbones]

congrats, now you got me hungry.....

[Legacyz]

Nope don't think they are stockers because they are still holding a trout tournament this weekend and it will be the last time before winter season that they stock trout and then they will start stocking cat fish.

[Frenchy]

all those arre goldies which mean they are holdovers from lastyear maybe longer normally when they stock them thery are a grayish color and thosh have a yellowish golden tint to them so those are holdover nices goinnnnnnnnnn where you fishing by the tree

Good job. Wow you limited quick. Need to head out there one day. Food looks good.

[Eat Sleep Fish]

Congrats on the catch. Sucks trout season is done down here. Well, time to head up north!

[Legacyz]

The exact spot was...walk on the wolden bridge until the end then turn right and then theres a lil piece of land that goes out, if your facing the tackle shop at that time they'll be a large tree and bush on ur left and the bridge on your right. Casting out to either direction should net you some nice fishes.

I never thought catfish will taste this good, first time eating fish that I caught myself...it was a good idea =D

[Legacyz]

Going to Nor Cal this weekend, anyone know any good spots?

[AQUABOOGIE AKA MADDFISHIN]

Nice going; golden brown - looks delicious. its good to see the holdover cats biting; hopefully when they stock it will really stir up the rest of the cats.

The Catfish filet looks delish! The deep fried method looks tasty also! Cindy:Big Grin:

[bluehunter]

God job on the eaters. That is the kind that is just right for the frying pan. Sounds like they are waking up.

[CASTAWAY]
