[QUOTE=Deamon;213687]Caden...I've got this new secret weapon that is going to slay some fish. I'll bring two of them with me so I'd be happy share one with you. What do you think, pretty awesome huh? Let's kick Tony and Jorge's asses in the fishing Irvine this trip!!! And oh yeah by the way, don't worry if it's a little warm when you touch it okay my brotha? Jim
Lol u guys funny, me and my son may come

Someone is going to wake up with a plate full of _______ when they unzip their kamp Rite!:doh:

Update on irvine lake....in the last 10 days the lake has risen 7 feet due to rain and all runoff from surrounding streams. And they are currently piping in water also!

Very cool! Congrats on your new PA. I'm sure you'll have a good time with it on the lake.

What to bring to a SEWER event???
 

Being the new guy at a SEWER event I thought to bring two batches of Joe Josts Pickled Eggs.

One for the camp on Friday night, and one to whoever catches the heaviest trout on Saturday.

A month in the frig and they will be cured just right.

I will just have to make sure I stand upwind of y'all...

:drool5:...........................those look fricken delicious

Oh Shit!!

Joe Jost's in the house!!! Love those pickled eggs!!! You bring'n the specials too?


Yani will be joining us for a day and maybe a night. Hopefully he can whip us up a batch of trout head soup!!! :eek: !

Trout head soup?? I wonder if Feta goes with that...

I'm totally stoked, especially since I haven't eaten Joe Jost food since my college days at CSULB! THANKS MIKE!!

Never made Joe's specials before. What type of sausage, pickle, mustard, rye bread? Oh, the pressure. Maybe someone else can step up to the challenge.

Instead, since Yani is coming, I will make two more batches of pickled eggs.

Stopped by the lake today on the way home from Longfin. Was a little surprised at how low it is with all the rain we had.

I plan on a little practice run fishing here one day later this week to try out my new trout toys.

Here is a picture from the campsite nearest the water...

You can stitch together the following pictures for a crude panorama to see the lake level...

Insane! I remember when that was all filled with water and couldn't drive past where that bench is. That was only a year and a half ago.

Those look KILLER! Does anyone have a good recipe? I tried one Kay year and it was horrible, like I almost puked upon the first bite.

Forget Irvine Lake. I want to follow you guys around inshore fishing so I can find out where/when/how you catch all those halibut.

We'll be at Cabrillo tomorrow.......come join us

What time you guys launching.. Was just talking to another member about trying it.

I'm in. First time there and a broke sonar. So I'll be poaching spots and even feeling guilty.

Never been down there so is the launch behind Ruby's restaurant?

Count me in too... got a week off... sweet! Never fished freshwater before or camped really so this is gonna be an experience!

Well Lizard King (and Cbad)...I might as well give you some insight on these yahoos so you won't go shell shocked after the first hour and run home crying to your mamas like babies with wet diapers.
Be ready for some potty mouths (Jorge and Tony)...LOUD ARSE snoring (Jorge and Tony)...second guessing on anything you do, wear or bring (Jorge and Tony)...serious night time gas (Jorge, Tony and Roby)...great eats (Jorge, Tony, Roby)...be ready for a large hand reaching in your tent copping a feel (Jorge or Tony, I think)

Here are some don'ts for you to consider:
Don't cut corners on the food you bring...quality and quantity.
Don't forget to check your kayak for booby traps when you get home and offload (Roby)
Don't worry about the fishing gear you bring...you'll receive negative comments about it regardless (Jorge and Tony)

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Jim

I work with a bunch of guys with that exact description. Should feel right at home. More worried about catching fish then protecting my arse at night

Friday Pre-Fish
 

Fished Irvine Lake this past Friday. As I pulled out of the driveway in Lake Forest temp read 37 degrees. I thought that's not so bad.

As I drove through the canyon the temp started dropping. When I reached the lake it was 29 degrees.

Spent the day trying to figure out this trout thing. Looks like I am going to need more practice (a lot more).

Ended up with one small trout about 3 p.m. on a trolled jointed floating fire tiger Rapala.

Two firsts that day... learned how to tie the Rapala knot and first fish on that lure.

The earlier picture was a little misleading as not all ingredients had been added. Here is the final product...
