[pelon951]

First post: I got to the lake and threw a castmaster for the first time EVER reeled it back and tossed it out again when BAM fish on,as I'm reeling I'm in shock and thinking HOLY CRAP it worked haha.iI finished off filling my limit and releasing some babies . Thanks for all the helpful info all of you post it helps!!!!
One question??Do I set the hook when i feel the bite on retrieve or should i allow the fish to take the lure by giving slack then set the hook ??? castmaster
Does that make sence ????Thanks

Nice work Pelon. What spot of the lake were you fishing at?

[Boltfan#1]

Good job on the limit Pelon. Keep up the work and before you know it you will be the one giving advice.

Thanks man I was at the cove near the pumps the fish are on early till about noon then picks up again about 3pm.But the back lake is on fire all day power bait.

[pelon951]

THANKS , is it illegal they were hooked on the lip ?I will give them away next time though

[MAVERICK27]

Awesome first experience!! Lure fishin will get ya hooked every time LOL The kastmaster has exposed hooks, if you sweep your rod and reel fast you'll set that hook very well without fear of breaking line or ripping the fish's mouth and lose it. Sounds like it was a day where they were just EATING it, so nice to see you did so well.

TD was right, we don't want you getting into any trouble catch and releasing trout. We look out for each other here. Hopefully we'll see ya out there!!

[pelon951]

It was awsome ,I really appreciate everyone's help thanks man

[Surfer]

What size and color kastmaster works best at the Vine as far as quantity of fish?

[RUHROH!!!!!]

Just keep winding right through the bite and speed up the retrieve a little they will hook themselvs. Good job on the first kastmaster fish.

[Surfer]

Nice tip, but size? Color?

Surfer...try 3/4 and 1/4 silver and gold kastmasters I've found the gold ones work allot better some times

idk cuz i think u can easily catch and release fish on a jig..sometimes not a kastmaster because the hooks are to big and do a lot of damamge but me and andrew(trout1) talked to a ranger at the glen helen derby and he said u can catch and release??? i do if they are hooked on the lip

Yeah the Game Warden oked it but!!!, Irvine is a private lake.....same with Corona/SARL. I think it sucks....

It's not "illegal", it's just lake policy. Only bass and sturgeon are catch and release.
