Now its time for me to get serious on the catfish now all you yahoos are trouting.
    tight lines,
    Yahoos!!!!! "I resemble that comment." lol Let's use a little logic on that trout yahoo comment. Trout season runs Nov-April approximately. Catfish season starts in about May and runs through Oct. Roughly speaking that's about a 50/50 split of the year. Now where do you think Irvine lake makes the majority of their annual revenue????? It's a safe bet to say, "that trout season is the more profitable part of the year." Which in turn gives Irvine lake the money to do those 10K stocking of medium size Blue Catfish. (Which in turn will grow into the Trophy Catfish) So without us trout yahoos, there wouldn't be much of a catfish season. So how about instead of calling us trout yahoos, you can call us by our new name, "CATFISH CREATORS!!!!! lol

    If the water is warm you gotta go deeper guys! Downriggers or leadcore will be key for trolling. The ideal feeding temps for browns are 52 degrees.. warmer for the bows...

    I know, I too was/am a Catfish Creator. The last few years I've hooked some amazingly large catfish during trout season. My avatar was from Feb of this year. I still love floating that nightcrawler under a bobber and watching it get nailed. Just less pressure on the whisker fish when everyone else is trying to catch trout.

    That's a lot of cash to through down on a slow day. I guess it's the chance you take. This VIP day just doesn't sound worth it to me. To each his own I guess....

    Are the passes being handed out cuz the fishing sucked? If thats the case i guess 50 to fish VIP day isnt so bad.

    Well, that definitely takes the sting out of the skunk then.

    I wonder if the fishing rebounded today because I'm thinking about hitting up Irvine Lake tomorrow. Rain or shine ;D
