That did start my day off right.
I still can't believe how big of a lure they will hit.

I was there yesterday too. There a school of trout stuck in the corner of the of the dam and ramp. They either had to deal with the shore fisherman or the bass / stripers. Cycle of life.
Thank you Zach. I was going to say well get out there, but cerritos is a little far.
I'll be out there more B4, as things heat up. I've got my eye on one of those KPN Trout. Got any pointers on using it?
The bass were there messing with those trout when I was on my way in, but they weren't really serious about it. At least not right then.
I saw groups of trout way out the dam. They were staying pretty close to shore.
Yes....FISH IT !
Ha ha ha
Fish it....and they will come !
20lb test
7' 11" swimbait rod
A good solid casting arm : )
Cast as far as you can (that sucka can cast like a torpedo through the air !)
Slow popping of the rod tip while a maintaining a constant slow steady retrive
Rod almost pointed at your right foot but raised about 1 1/2' - 2' from the water
Popping is done in this manner to obtain maximum action out of that lure
DO NOT WORK THE ROD WITH AN UPRIGHT ANGLE AS YOU MIGHT WITH A SPRO ETC.
You must be ready to ROCK at all times…..any deviation from pressure should be driven on INSTANTLY even if a blowup is not seen.
Sometimes I’ve had the striper sort of slurp up the lure without much surface disruption.
Sometimes (more often than not) – it’s a massive surface explosion !
Drive HARD
DRIVE Fast !
Hang on for the ride and be sure your drag is always set correctly, you don’t want to be caught trying to re-adjust your drag if you have a 30 lbder on
and trust me….you must think big….don’t always expect the next hookup to just be schoolie 6-8 lbders
They are there for the diligent angler determined to get the swimbait slay on…
The prize equals the effort and the amount of effort put into it….
Go get ‘em, I hope that helps even if just a little : )

P.S.
Here’s a pic of the Topwater KPN Trout (with some stank on it !)
and a simple shot (camera phone pic)

Thanks Gary,
Sure it helps. I know your an ace at using them.
I can do all of that except provide the good solid casting arm : )
I guess I'll have to go with what I've got. I do OK on the quick trips. There's no way I can cast all day.
Good tips Gary!
KPN.
