We got to the Dam around 7:30 am and fished till 4 pm. The water was choppy and the wind was gusty at times. We walked along the dam and didn't see much striped bass action. Only a handful of people got them.
During our fishing session, we did see the Sheriff boat come by because of people fishing beyond the "LIMIT" line at the end of the Dam. I guess the sheriff was in a good mood since it was New Years and only issued them a warning rather than a ticket.
We soaked our sardines and didn't get any nibbles. I think we got "old" sardines that were previously frozen and then thawed out by the fish market. I know this has been asked many times, but where do people get "fresh" sardines in the Santa Clarita or San Fernando Valley?
At 1 pm, we were going to call it a day; on the way out, we noticed that the trout action was still pretty hot near the ramp area, so we changed our rigs and caught some trout for dinner. Before leaving the lake, we saw someone walking out with a large striped bass that he caught on his trout swimbait along the dam, it must of been 15-20 lbs!
Happy New Years.
