    miss the days at cottonwood cove when it was hard not to catch at least a 5lb rainbow

    i think the strippers hurt bass fishing greatly also

    since their introduction back in the 70's

    willow beach in it's day was a world wide trout fishery destination

    used to like to sneak into peters canyon reservoir when it was a full blown lake all the overflow from the spillway used to drain into it and it had more fish than irvine

    another sleeper used to be a gravel quarry behind saddleback
    was filled with big bass
    saw 12 pounders come out many times
    was always a catch and release spot
    and was always fun hiding from the ranch cops

    golf courses could be epic if you knew what water hazards to fish

    Oh man, I never fished that quarry, but as a grom in the 70's there was liquor store at Marguerite and Avery that had a couple pics of giants from there. We stuck to the village, the rumors of salt pellets kept us away, lol

    never got shot at when fishing the quarry but had to sprint to the nearest fence hole more than once
    it was a great spot we called it rankin reservoir after a buddy that yanked out a giant bass
    didn't weigh it but we all agreed it had to be near 15lbs
    this is back when hodges was the socal bass destination
    but we always felt that world record was swimming in the quarry

    was always good for 5 to 10 lb whiskers and a occasional nice trout that washed down san juan creek when it was planted heavily

    the village ponds in the pitch an put course great until they got fished out lots of 5lb bass
    best fishing golf course we ever found was pala mesa just north of fallbrook off of old 395 every water hazard was filled with bass and never got hassled
    nothing better than 36 holes and sunset fishing
