plan to fish on shore with my friend today for 3-4 hours because I have to be home for family lunch. I woke up at 3:45am check the Castaic website which showed the lake open 7:15 am. Looked at my watch, still have a couple of hours free so I hit duct for a quickie try to get a dd to catch up with MB and Khanh.
First spot, water flow was medium, after several slides I got hit hard...and pulled strong. I was happy at first and hoped it would be a dd but several cranks it feels like heavy....and I saw a white belly...LOL...no net so I lift it up....man it heavy but my 40 lbs braid line held strong.
I will have to wait for next time for a DD. will never catch up with them...LOL..
A catfish 6-7 lbs hooked on KPN right on his mouth. Moved to 2nd spot for nothing so time to hit Castaic.

5th in line behind my friend and a couple of cars and 1 boat. We ride a bike and looked for good spot. found one and started fly line. Missed...farmed...several one, even lost one at a stringer...LOL...

My friend left after 1 hour of fishing with 1 fish. I ended up 3 fish for me. they were good size stripers.
