made a solo trip to san luis today got there at 6 thinking i had to wait intell 6:45when the sun came up but the gate was already open and boats were launching in the dark.
got the boat ready gear in place it was 6:20 as i backed in,
little wind this morning but does not take much to make san luis have 2-3 feet swells, i was tested since this was my first solo launch. but pulled it off.
off i went to the trash racks to see if the water was pumping, unlike castaic you can get right up to were the water is pumped here.
no water was pumping, but marked big schools all over.
trolled all along the dam for nothing, still 2 foot swells and windy so ran across to dinosaur point. put in the trolling rigs and 3 min later bam fish on but lost him at the boat. drop again and before i can get the rod in the rod holder fish on get him in hes 17.5 inch dam this aint pyramid so back he goes.
