With all the Castaic fishing we been doing, we wanted a change and decided to check out the wood. I rarely see any reports from here and knew it would be going off. And I was a 100 % right.
Started trolling at 715 and by 8am we had over 20 stripers. (All dinks! more like Pyramid dinks. )Absolutely insane! At 830 over 30. And it continued at this pace non stop. We started trolling another bank and every pass each rod had at least a double or triple. We just kept our limits and releasing at least 30-40 fish from trolling.
Cooler shot

We decided it was time for a change and it was time to break out the light line. AA had an LC tied and I had a fluke. We slow trolled this bank with the rod in our hands and every pass we were both hooking up. We had so much fun doing this and we could not stop laughing the whole time!
We were setting the hook so hard on the dinks we would rip out a half there mouths! We must have released another 50+ fish doing It this way as well.

With all the big fish in this lake we were surprised catching all this fish and not getting any with some descent size! Nonetheless it was a blast.
Towards the end, we had a misfortune and I had to take AA To the emergency. I feel so bad because I swung so hard my lure got stuck in AA's mouth. I'm glad they safely removed all the hooks. I need to be more careful in the future. Safety first!
