had about an hour to kill, so i headed to the duct.
made a few casts and got 2 short strikes, both from the same spot. made another cast & slowed the retrieve way down. work it through the spot, another strike...this time it sticks

a health little micro. not what i was hoping for, but a skunk buster none the less.
the little bassturd tore my 3" BH to shreds & i didn't have any more in my pocket, so i had to switch to the fluke....i love that little fish for forcing me to switch baits, because the next cast brought me my PB & my first duct DD!

really nice fight. lots of drag peel, a bit of running along the side of the duct, and the best part.....landing it!!
made a few more casts before i had to head home, just to see if there was any more in that spot, but wasn't too bummed to only catch the ones i did :LOL:

Thanks guys.
The app is called 'Fishing Guide Pacific'.
It mosty relates to saltwater fishing, but I use the approx weight part everywhere. There's probably a better app out there, but this one's ok for the $0.99, or it may have even been free, I can't remember

John, I know that Jim lives in the AV and since he said that he only had an hour to kill I would think that he got them somewhere from the AV area.

they need to sell a fish scale app with a little hook attachment for the iphone so we can actually weigh them with it...i think ill patent this idea, lol

Just saw this. Congrats on the PB and 1st DD. I got your text with the pic of the fish but didn't notice anything about the size and weight.

i was out in the west av for those. but, there have been several coming out of south av & far west av.
the biggest key is just to get out as much as possible & work the areas thoroughly that you hit.
i can't count how many times i've gotten bit right when i'm about to give up on a spot. when "one last cast" turns into 3 or 4 more casts....that's when the bite comes & i'm glad i put in the extra effort.
congrats on your first...u'll never be the same anymore..

Congrats on the PB, I don't know which is the best part, the fight or that moment when you actually get it out of water and up the concrete, way to go!

Way to go Luck Lager....Nice stripers. I bet that PB put a huge smile on your face! I wonder if the littler one was a male and the bigger one was a female? Just curious? Anyways maybe we will bump into each other this summer somewhere on the AV duct. :Big Grin:

Thanks, it definitely made my day.
The small one may have been a male, but it was more like snack size than mate size, lol.
It was only about 12" max
