Let me just spell it out. Irvine Lake turned into 3 lakes this summer. The main lake where most people fished was on a 350 yard strip on the west shore. Or in 4 canals on the back side of trout island. Their was a small middle lake and a 3rd lake on the old East shore. When we were catfishing there for 2 months, I kid you not, I saw on just 3 occasions someone making a brief catfish attack back there in 2 months of fishing! Their was 6 or so Bass fishermen a day fishing back there but were at least 2 to 4 hundred yards away from us at the closest juncture! Many times we were fishing there all by ourselves lately! You can't beat that with a stick! Lol
