Diesel is cheaper down the street from the lake than it is around my house. So I have started getting fuel when I am out there.. saves me $6

what the heck, I hope i catch a good amount of fish then. I just went on a vacation to lake Powell where the amount of fish caught, Didn't exactly make the amount of money spent worth the trip. After i heard fishing report after report on how many stripers are in the lake and how there being caught easy out there just to get skunked. So basically i heard that Irvine was on fire, and now i want to fish it just so I can say i caught fish this year. And to make up for the less than successful trip to Utah. But $150 per trip wow! Im bringing a boat, and planned to get some bait from there, but most of it i'll get before hand. we'll see how this goes, Im praying that we make out like bandits on this trip.

I have fished silverwood, but only for stripers. plus i don't hear of people having success like they do at irvine. In fact i haven't heard of anyone catching a limit there in quite a few years. Limits on stripers or catfish anyway. Plus i don't fish trout more than once or twice a year, and i got a lake I fish for them.

Cause you don't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Listen to be honest Irvine lake does what is best for everyone I for one will be there as usual. All I am saying is I would pay even more for some really nice fish. I fish a lot of different lakes and am always greeted well when I am at Irvine and I for one would hate for them not to be there so I will continue to support. The fish is a bonus as far as I am concerned.

See ya at the lake for Breakfast real sooooooon.

Are you compairing apples with apples? OK maybe not but if I go to the theater and it is $6.00 to get in and $25.00 for a popcorn I have to make a choice, pay the money or no popcorn. The Vine is in business to earn money if the $2 bucks makes you unhappy don't go there. The Salton Sea is not far from Palm Springs and it is free. Tight lines and good fishing.

I have never been to the Sea and probably never wil. I really wish that they would clean it up. In the mean time I will continue to shell out the $150.00 + and head to either Irvine, Corona, or Anahiem (which I have never been to yet) 3 or 4 times a month to Camp, fish, and spend quality time with some of my friends away from my multi million dollar business for a few hours of relaxation. The $2.00 to me may not be the same as $2.00 to someone else as I have my boat so I don't have to rent. I do like to see everyone be able to come and fish and I know that $2.00 to some is hard and it may stop some from fishing and slow some others down but business is business. Jig guy sometimes we need to think of others rather than our self. Sometimes you need to speak for others. I know your a good guy not bashing you Brother at all. Please don't take it like that.

I agree with what your saying. And though I never fished there before(so take my comment for what it is worth) but if i don't catch fish my first trip out, then that may be my first and last time out. Don't get me wrong, Im not one of those guys who blames the lake for why I dont catch fish. And I understand well that you have to normally fish a lake multiple X's before you establish a pattern and catch fish consistently, and ultimately learn the lake. Thing is though, I live 2hrs away from the lake. Mix gas, bait, entrance fee, and price to launch( when i actually have a boat with me) or the price to rent a boat. And now Im looking at spending an amount of money, that i cant afford to spend regularly. My point here is I don't have the money to "learn the lake" so if I have little to no success here, lake irvine is going to be rarely getting my money, if any of it at all. What i mean by little success is catching like 3-6 cats under the 3lb range. I gonna have like 4 guys with me plus myself, so i am at least looking to get 2 or more fish per person.

I can't wait for your report, I bet you come away very disappointed. I love catching catfish but there no value there unless you factor in fishing from a boat. The best kept secret in the world is DFG catfish in a park. Alot of the lakes are completely free and the worse case scenario is a SMALL PARKING FEE. The quality is very good and also the quantity, for me we'll call it 800 so far this year and I'm not done yet.

I'd pay $25.00 any day to get the hell out of the city and fish Irvine a beautiful lake. There are a lot of reasons to go fish Irvine other than catching a little DFG stocked catfish out of the middle of the city (no offense if that was my only option I'd fish an urban pond too).

I totally agree. What's $2.00 when you consider the price of the gas you're burning to get there in the first place.

Ironically seal, thats the website i used the most. I just chalk it up to it being my first time out and not knowing the lake. Next time i go I know what to do.
