Lookup my aqueduct lure tequnique post in the general forum......fish it hard...
NOT a waste of time, I beleive the average fish out there is much bigger than normal.....
I'm going to plan a trip out there sometime to explore......fish it hard but don't give up if you don't get em the 1st time...
Good luck

Mike, what are you talking about? You have 2 pigs under your belt. No easy task in the duct, especially out there on that east branch.

True................but the catch to skunk ratio is still VERY VERY much in Stripy's favor!!:Smile:

thanks guys im gunna hit up the duct before work tomorrow. ill only have a little over an hour but its better than nothing. if anything magicly takes a liking to my lure ill let you guys know.
An hour is plenty. If possible, don't spend more than 20 minutes at any one spot, especially if you don't get bit.

i fished off the 15 on the west side of the freeway didnt get much luck. im gunna go back and fish the east side of the 15 tomorrow morning see if it pays off any better.
Just spot hop or if at one spot then walk and look for them.

The spot right off the 15 is not the best of spots to fish. Try hitting the ones closer to where the duct goes underground towards the end. Best to hit Main St head east and then find a road to head south. I have caught much there but I always talk to the security guard whole patrols a large portion of the duct. He advised me of a few spots which I hooked into a couple but manage to foul it up. There are a lot (well by duct standards) people who fish these spots so you will know when your there. Good luck. Oh if you have access to tomato worms and can bare to use them, they work I have witnessed it first hand. But for that tip my fee is some tomato worms. If you can get them let me know. Lol
