Plan B yields PB Striper on Fly
Wanted to make my first island run of the year this weekend, but it was not to be. Had to go with Plan B, and hit Castaic instead. They'd just planted trout at the east ramp, so we focused on that area. There were not a lot of fish around, but those that showed themselves were of nice size.
Soaking a Dave's shad fly in 55 feet of water, I got stopped cold on my retrieve. A couple of big heads shakes later, and the fish took off. First time I'd been into my backing on a freshwater fish in a while. At 8lbs, this would be my personal best striper.
Finished out the day solo, as Dave had to leave to go work at the shop. Found the schoolies on the points and whacked 'em pretty good. Had to get off the lake early, just as the bite was really getting insane. Almost a fish a cast.
Fun day...
