Pyramid Lake with T/O and Klocked. Sunday 1/30 Kill the Schoolies!

[Wingnut]

Problem: Mom says the freezer is getting low on fish...
Solution: Place a call to TroutOnly.
Results: Problem solved... LOL :Envious:

Been awhile since Bob & I killed some Stripers together. Since the surf is still a bit rough, I gave Bob a call to see if he was free today (Sunday) for a Striper session at Pyramid. Bob says, no problem, see ya there bright and early. :Big Grin: John (Klocked), one of my S.W.A.T. brothers have never caught a Striper before so I invited him to come along to fish with the legendary TroutOnly. :Cool: John is a Striper Virgin NO MORE!

Met up at the lake at grey light and chatted up with Bob for a bit. The gate opened at 7:00am and we were the first boat to launch. I think we saw no more than 5 boats all day, very light boat traffic.

Gave John a quick lesson of Trolling for Striper 101 and off we went. Cold weather, water temp. 51 degrees, mild wind in the early morning hours turning into strong gusts in the afternoon. Light rain on and off for most of the day. The fish was pretty scattered all over the lake and we had to work hard to find them, going from one end of the lake to the other. Picking off schoolies here and there. The bite was kinda slow but we did manage 15 fish. All fish caught on the troll, although we did try to drop bait for a little bit at "The Bouy" with no success :Wink: Can't wait until the bite start to heat back up again.

Bob, thanks again for inviting us on board the Salmonoid Phenomenon to fish with you. You ALWAYS make time for me and I appreciate that very much. :Cool: Lets start planning that Striper event that we talked about. :Wink:

John, glad that you were able to join us on your first Striper mission. The mission was a complete success and we'll do it again soon. Enjoy those Stripers... I know you'll be back for more! :Twisted:

Hope everybody had a nice weekend. I think I'm going to take a couple of days off this coming week to celebrate the Chinese/Vietnamese New Year and do some fishing while I'm at it... don't tell my "Boss". :LOL: :Secret: :Envious:

Bob's boat rule... you cannot eat until a fish hit the deck. We can eat now! :Dancing Banana:

Congrats John on your first Striper. :Big Grin:
The playhouse is filling up nicely. :Twisted:
I'll be out there with you guys soon. :Wink:

[lagunaCOCONUT]

Hi Arthur (Wingnut)! Always enjoy your reports! I look forward to meeting you some time and even more, fishing with you some time! Happy New Year to you and your family! Enjoy some time off and do some fishing! I know I plan to do just that!

I hear that the striper bite has been tough lately but that never seems to stop Bob finding the fish. Everyone catches fish when they are biting but being consistent when the fishing gets tough is what separates the best from the rest. Well done guys. Congrats to John on his first striper and many more to come. The bite in fresh and salt should start improving in the weeks to come with the new moon and spring just around the corner. Can’t wait..

[fishinone]

Nice catch guys.

Bob I need some DR help.

[crappiemike]

Great job Boyz.......I knew you would put them in the cooler. Congrats to John on his first jailbirds as well!
Yummy eating there brotha. I hit the surf for nada and had to hit my local LMB honey hole for a drag pullin fix.
Hey guys.......Is this striper thing going to be open to anyone or just boaters. I've got to get my kids on something I can kill and eat....LOL

[ghost2uu]

OMG a double rainbow. LOL

Congrats guys on a great day of fishing. Looks a little chilly! :Smile:

[klocked]

Thanks for inviting me Arthur, I had a great time and thanks Bob for letting me on your boat. I enjoyed listening to your explanations of what goes on at that lake and the techniques that you use to coerce Mr. Stripey into dying!!

That Bald Eagle was cool to see along with the Golden Eagle(?) flying high in the sky overhead!
If that was a slow day, I can only imagine what a great bite would be like!

[Ifishtoolittle]

Nice striper slay!

[exfactor]

good job Bob and Arthur! come up and see me Bob, I'll even be captain.

[FishNFurious]

Not bad for a bunch of rookies. :ROFL: Been at least a couple of years since i had the pleasure to fish with Bob. Been patiently waiting for another invite Art, hint, hint. :LOL:
Bob has devirginized countless Striper virgins, lol

[Native Gal]

WN,
Good to see the "Stripa Killas" back at it again :Thumbs Up:.
Been wondering when the Serial Killa would be on the slay again.

:Cool:

[Badbeat]

You had to tease us with those egg rolls didn't ya. :Envious:
After fishing with you and Bob at Lake San Antonio, I can't even look at those Castaic and Pyramid schoolies the same way anymore. :LOL: Nice job Mr. Klocked on your first striper.

[flyngby]

Bob, WN, John,

Nice lil slay! At least something is willing to put a bendo on the end of a rod!

Hey Phuong, thanks for putting 1600 miles on my ride in a month bro... at least you washed it when you returned it. LOL :LOL: The playhouse still had lots of empty seats. Not full limits. :Neutral: Bob wants you back on his boat again soon! :Wink: See ya Sunday, go Packers!

Time for a S.W.A.T. kayak mission. :Wink: Spring is just around the corner and we're gonna tear it up out there! :Twisted: Hope all is well and lets fish together soon!

Mike, the Striper event is only in the initial stage. I'm sure there is a lot of parameters to be considered. Depending on which lake that it will be held, we will see if we can accomodate both shoreline and boat fishermen. We will support Bob in whatever he chooses to do. :Cool:


OMG a double rainbow. LOL
Into rainbows...? lol


Congrats guys on a great day of fishing. Looks a little chilly! :Smile:

Freezing at times, but we were well prepared.

John, for Bob & I, anytime we don't get our full limits of Linesides, we consider it a slow day. :LOL:
Good times, let's do it again soon!


Nice striper slay!
:Cool:


good job Bob and Arthur! come up and see me Bob, I'll even be captain.
I want to be on that boat too! :Envious: Can we troll for Crappies??? :LOL:

You have to arm wrestle Phuong for the spot Vince. :Wink:

Bob is a repeated offender... the Serial Killer will never change his ways. :Twisted:

LOL, Binh, Bob and I was telling John exactly that. Once you catch a Lake San Antonio Lineside, you will be spoiled big time. :Envious: See ya at the Super Bowl party bro. :Cool:


Bob, WN, John,

Nice lil slay! At least something is willing to put a bendo on the end of a rod!
Even though we considered it a slow day, mission was accomplished in getting John on his first Lineside. :Big Grin:


Great report as always Wingnut, thanx for posting!

TS
Thanks Steve, you should take your boat to Castaic or Pyramid for a try at some Stripers. Bet you would love it. I'll give ya some intel that will make your trip worthwhile. :Wink:


Great job up there at the mid,,,,,,,,,,,looks like a blast
