Castaic Dam before work today 5/13/2010

[fishinone]

I went by Castaic this morning first thing before work to throw my new Lunker Punker.

At first there was nothing happening then around 7:30 I started to see some movement.

I had a striper make a high speed pass on the lure.

Oh, it was so close!

A couple casts later the Lunker Punker was hit hard.


This little guy hit the middle hook and was stuck hard through the cartilage in his jaw.

I had another smaller striper on in that same spot a few minutes later but it came unbuttoned half way in.

It's hard to believe that these little striper hit a lure that size.

There were some bass on one of the ledges that looked but weren't interested.

More bass were halfheartedly chasing trout up in the corner of the dam and the boat ramp. I had some follow but no takers.

Now "Back to Work.".

Nice job landing the striper, guess that lure is gonna get a lot of work this year! Wait until the bigger ones get a hold of it. Must be nice to fish before work.

Thank you, for a second I thought this one was a big one. I think he was moving fast when he hit it, it made noise.

I'm looking forward to a big one.

Hi fishbones,

Those Lunker Punkers make walking the dog really easy. I have a smaller one in trout color, it catches fish too.

Thanks T/O, I like it too. Especially after catching a fish on it. Do you have the ivory colored one? I figured that it would be good for striper and maybe not as good for bass. I can see it really well, it shows up great, even when it's under water.

I had a cup of coffee with me on the way to the lake. I drank it on the way from the lake to work.

Top water is fun. I've had one of your 4" topwater plugs tied on and ready in the boat for couple a months. I want to be ready when the shad come up.
