10/10 Other Places

I fished Castaic a couple times in the last 2 weeks, only managing 1 striper each trip. Lake is around 100 feet lower than normal. Love the freshwater for a change of pace, just need that magical morning where it all comes together, maybe next Tuesday :D

Yesterday I was back to the sea, fished solo launching at 1st light in SMB. Overcast with light winds, water felt warmer than the air at 71 degrees.

Tons of bait, greenbacks from 6-10 inches, premium bait with 6 coming up on the sabiki at a time.

I worked 1 high and 1 low moving around the edges of all that bait. Slow morning with 1 big sandbass released. Running out of time as I planned to be to work before noon. I was in the middle of eating a banana,(yes BANANA!) when the dropper loop that was laid out in front of me bounced, I dropped the banana and grabbed it, thumbing the spool, it took off. Popped it in gear for a instant big drag slipping BENDO and memorable sleigh ride. My first thoughts were batray, but usually they come to the surface eventually, this one was running down and away. After a long crazy run I started getting all my line back with little fight left in the fish. I got very optimistic at this point and down right stoked at color. Easy floater gaff shot and dragged on board. Popped a gill, pulled the turbo fins and paddled in. 45 pounds.

Awesome Productive week for you:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

Really nice on the stripers Andy. Even better on that biggie WSB. That Hobie Revo 13 has some serious MOJO now.

WTG deep hole area or hush hush?

I woulda left off this paragraph for a bit of intrigue.

Nice fishin.

Nice report Andy and you really are putting the revo to use with all your trips!

Nice work on the "Jailbirds" Andy!
All summer long with my proximity to Castaic (and annual 'day permit'), any day I thought I may up to it the forecast has been for temps in the triple digits. Been dying to take pictures of the lake @ low water to document the contours and structure (also catch "Kong Island"). Then also to catch my first double digit (20+Lb'er) "on the fly" in my Outback (always been excited about the thought of 'that' sleigh ride and 'PB' :eek:).
Maybe with the lower temps this week, I might be able (hopefully) to at least get out! :cool:
Does that pic of you :reeling: your Revo and :wsb: qualify for a possible new avatar? That's one heck of an awesome :wsb: :notworthy:
Can I assume caught somewhere close to work (maybe 'the southbay'?) :confused: ?
Is it just me or do you most times find a way to start your day with a good a.m. excursion?
Again, congrats on all the quality fish! :cheers1:

Andy,
When are you going to get that PA 17T on the water! I will be more than happy to be your deck hand!

I went 100+ miles down South. didn't sleep the whole night, fished hard the whole day.
The boat had a total of 1 dodo and 1 rat yt in the box.
I managed 1 skippy.
Burned 130 gals of gas.

All those things why I like kayak fishing are coming back to me :)

WINNING...!:cheers1:

Awesome! Way to get out and get some :)

Got to love October this year, Fishing has been incredible EVERYWHERE! Good job Andy

Siiiiick dude - My dropper got me a damn leopard shark this weekend... the flyline was more productive.
