Well I finally decided to fish irvine for the first time in 3 years and man was it worth it. Didn't get on the water until 8:30 on the boat but it was still a extremely well day. Went straight to Sierra cove because that's where everyone has been telling me to fish. Got there and saw 20 boats posted up in there. Well we slowly made our way through the boats and got a good spot by the rope. Not to close and not to far. 1st cast if the day on a Orange Bline worm and hook up. How often does that happen. Solid 2 lber.
After that it was fish on all day on the mini jigs. That's all I use and I saw everyone using power bait or mice tails. The fish are extremely active and were just hammering the jigs. My buddy got a solid 3.3 Yosemite red. We only fished till 1:40 and headed in for the day. Kept only 7 of the larger fish and let the other ones go. We also won some cool prizes in the raffle. I'll be headed back out there again tomorrow in hopes of another 25+ fish day.
