well, with the Mrs. sleeping in like a rock... I had to get out and wet a couple lines, so went off to Castaic dam this am on a solo mission...
got there around 6:50am, and was surprised to see almost no line to get in... clear skies... and NO wind to start the am which was great...
definitely noticed way less people on the dam than just 3 or so weeks ago... maybe cause it's Thanksgiving weekend too, but was happy to have lots of room to myself...
set up a couple rods and relaxed:

there were a few people scattered to the right and left of me, and not much action... the bite has slowed waaaaay down...
but the view and time just dozing off was awesome:

I did manage 3 schoolie size stripers... just perfect for the frying pan :LOL:
anyways, had a good time out there this am... the winds started picking up around 10am and just kept getting little stronger... I packed up and headed out at 11am.
not too shabby for me :Wink:
