In short Irvine Lake's Largemouth Bass (LMB/Bucketmouths) are a gamefish that are NOT STOCKED, like some of our other fish. Thus resulting LMB's Catch and Release ONLY policy (Both Species - LMB and Wipers) .
Keeping these fish will thin the population ending in NO MORE BIG ONES, or worse.. No BASS, and less fishing/catching. If you catch or see someone catching, please release or ask them to release. Otherwise we'd be happy to help C&R them for you
I did see a guy with a LMB on a stringer about two weeks ago on trout island. In these cases should I call the tackle shop and report them? Just want to know for future reference.
You can always call the tackleshop for anything that concerns the Lake (including fishermen keeping LMB or Wipers unknowlingly). We will happily let fishermen know the rules and regulations on Irvine's Catch & Release polices... 714-649 9111 xt 1

Some quality Wipers and Bass being caught & released lately...With Night fishing coming around the corner, there should be some solid fishing~
Marty with a solid Wiper- c&r'd
here's some pics of my lmb picked fresh off the "vine"
nice job whopperstopper!
heres another growing Vine Wiper caught and released by James Anna. James tells us that he fought and landed it on 6lb test-well done!
Here's a solid 6lb Wiper- caught and released (to be fought by another lucky angler later) by Phil Hildebrandt
The Bass bite at the Vine has been going well- here are a few shots that verify it!
Bill "Fish" of Huntington Beach shows his 5.7lb
Bills friend also of Huntington Beach "double fisting" (no not beer... ) his solid LMB's
surprisingly as much as i striper fish i dont know jack about wipers, do you catch them on striper stuff or lmb stuff.
If your too busy to go fishin; YOUR TOO BUSY!!!!!!
