After struggling at Pyramid to cure our boil chasing desire we arrived at Castaic at 10 am to find a boil at the ramp. Then one on the point then one on the next point..
First 5 mins and we had 2 fish on three boils at 10 am. WOW..
Long story short is they boiled very good and from what the others told us we missed the best part in the morning.
We ended up hooking and farming probably 30 plus fish at castaic and with Pyramids totals from the morning probably pushed us up to 50.
We did struggle with the anxiety of what is boil fishing but by the end of the day I think we overcame it.
From my perspective and I think MO and AA will agree is that people are NOT Squashing boils. The fish are just boat shy. First boat anywhere near a boil and they sunk out. And everyone was respectful and nobody squashed one.
We did have some boils pop up near the boat but the schools were really moving. If you didn't anticipate the direction and idled that way you were SOL when they came back up 200 yds away. None of that sitting and they pop up in the same spot yesterday.
Again, I can't say enough about the other boil chasers, they were awesome and a few rental guys really did well. They sure had some skills and If they had better /faster boats would have KILLED it!
Nothing but respect for guys in rentals slaying on boils from ME!
Water temp hit 80 by the afternoon and loved it.
Met a couple FNN'ers but couldn't really hear his name. Something 123 ? Good meeting you.

We ended up giving our fish to a father/daughter team in a rental that only had 1 fish. He was happy she just wanted to go home and "livechat" with her friends. Wtf? Our kids are so dependant online crap..
I gotta watch what I say though because my best fishing friends are a direct result of FNN
