Castaic Moonlight event sat 5-21 with Mikes Ocean

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Went out on the water with MikesOcean, I wuz gonna solo trip it on my skiff and he wuz solo so we decided to join forces and see what this years 1st moonlight had to offer…

When Mike's Mazeratti of a graph was actually working…..we metered striper activity in 4 places….3 of those spots were in 50 to 102’ of water, the most activity was over 122’ of water….

With fish rolling through the whole time…anywhere from 8’ to 110’ over 120’

We fished it hard…solely concentrating on stripers…..

Spot #1…..No Luv !

Spot #2……..NO Luv !

Spot #3………………No Luv !

Spot #4……………………..No Luv !

Coulda’ changed modes and probably scratched some action out….Mike was ponderin getting a mossback attack…I told him if we changed modes we’d go for the hawg kities and I know 2-3 spots where they typically lair…

BUT……..we didn’t….stayed on them….fish were around but not active…

So we waited….we waited…..waiting for the stripers light to switch ON…

THEN………….

Then…………….

It was that time…..the 11th hour rush….time ta slay and wipe Mr Stinky off our backs !



THEN…..

This is what happened :…………………………………………………………….

This lake just is not ready yet !

The fish are there but not active....gotta happen soon but it hasn't switched on yet in any sort of normality..

Saw a couple smaller grade stripers caught but overall the action was pretty much non existent...

sad...I had hoped for more from it : (

Mike...I blame you entirely for the fish not biting PLEASE take a shower next time...I think they didn't feel like eating after they got wind of that stench....hell I might even ad that it wouldn't hurt to wash those clothes either....

Mike...did U know that crawling into those salvation army bins to do your clothes shopping is illegal ? well U know now....

Mike's new boat performed very well....we did have some serious graph complications but I feel it was user oriented not electronic etc...

That sucka will do your taxes for you too if U know how to sweet talk it into the right parameters.....

Hell...I noticed that once I touched the graph it asked me to verify and authenticate my identification with a laser eye print...

It gave me a shock when my credentials didn't clear....

Then it started rambling off a sequence of #'s and stats...some of which was how many times Mike tried to play grab arse and how many more times he wuz gonna try as well..

All I wanted was a bottom reading, water temp and whether or not fish were there...the graph was agreeable for the 1st 2 hours or so...then I think something went left field....

Don't know what went wrong but I looked over and Mike was playing video poker on it...the unit was paying out some coin too...actuall silver dollars !!!!

Then he started a online blackjack game with some kids in Thailand...those kids were working Mike over...he lost all his money and the unit started going haywire...

We headed back while we trolled his brand new lowrance fishfinder behind the boat ...disgusted at the poor performance....

FYI no strikes trolling the fish finder either !

damn! maybe by mid june it'll be in full swing?

First off, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when me and Gary agreed to go together.

LET ME TELL YOU

I hit my leg on the trailer and Gary kept rubbing my knee because he felt so bad I cut myself. The only way that I was able to distract him so he would STOP rubbing my knee was to YELL, BOIL. Every time I yelled that he would jump up and throw this 33 inch lure.. I thought he was gonna brake his back chucking this thing. I didn't say anything cuz he was so focused on catching a fish.

Then he would sit back down and start rubbing again. Geeeez.

So again, I YELLED BOILED. He would jump up like he was in the army and chuck that lure. LIKE A ROBOT.

Every time I would move away on the boat he just kept saying how much he was bummed cutbait wasn't there. He kept asking why am I getting so defensive.:EyePop:

He put his head down and told me how much he missed cutbait???:Rolls Eyes:

I thought that this whole pumphouse was a joke!


Okay, This is the topper. He walks on the boat with a huge bag of Oranges????WTF

I asked what that was all about? He kept saying you will see.

He said he was saving them for the right spot. After a few spots and no fish, we agreed to go to the bouye line. This is where it gets strange. Now, Gary starts cutting the orange in medium size squares and sprays some trout stuff on it???
He said it help exfoliate the orange. He told me that he kills it out there catching stripers with cut oranges and no one knows this. I'm sure he will be upset at me for sharing this. What can I possibly say? He obviously catches fish. I just didn't witness a bite with this. Then again he starts rubbing my knee again.

I YELL BOIL


He jumps up and cast out again.

It was crazy.

I don't know? I need to take a breath of everything else that went on. I will continue this later.

Absolutely Crazy!!!

FYI...

That huge thing I kept dropping into the water WASN'T a lure....

U do the math !

[MikesOcean]

fyi...

That huge thing i kept dropping into the water wasn't a lure....

U do the math !


:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Mike ALSO gave me what he thought was the go-to method of stripa’ slayage…

He said U don’t need any high price rods or reels..

He made me a list of fishing gear…

Man I don’t know what to make of it…he got so exited when he wrote this list down for me….

Things You'll Need
• One aluminum pop can
• 10 to 12 feet of 15 pound test fishing line
• 1 medium to small sinker
• 1 hook
• Bait
• Handled ne



• 1
Squash the pop can slightly in the middle, making it hourglass shaped. Hold the fishing line across the middle of a pop can lying on its side, with about 12 inches of line hanging down toward you and the rest going away from your body.
• 2
Wrap the line around the can twice, passing the line under the first two loops as you begin a third wrap, then loop under the first two loops one more time and pull tight. This begins a knot called a fisherman's bend. Finish the knot by tying four half hitch knots around the pine going away from your body. Make the knot by wrapping once around the line going away from your body, then passing through the loop you just made. See Resources for pictures of fisherman's bend knot and half hitch knot.
• 3
Attach a sinker about two feet from the other end of the line, using two or three half hitch knots.
• 4
Using a fisherman's bend knot, referring to resources below, attach a spinner. Attach your hook to the spinner by the loop at the end.
• 5
Bait your hook, then wrap most of the line around the can until you have three to five feet left unwrapped. The line should just barely brush the ground.
• 6
Hold the can with your off hand and swing the line with your dominant hand, letting line swing out over the water and drop into it. To pull the line in, wrap it around the can. Use a net to bring your fish onto shore.


He ALSO broke out what he thought were the “Pig Killer” lures..

I couldn’t break his heart and tell him they were not the go-to lures but I still refused to tie them on !

I told him I wanted NO PART in those toys..

So I broke out my drink of choice !

Then he resorted to some serious unorthadox methods…

He said it is GUARENTEED !
