Best of luck kfc_rr, I hope you nail 'em! Let me know if you find something that entices them...I ran out of tricks.

I was out there yesterday on my float tube with my buddy we showed up late because he didn't want to wake up but it didn't matter because most of my fish were caught between 11am-2pm. Fishing was tough you had to work for your fish. Although the water was fairly warm surprisingly all the fish I caught were in under 10ft of water. Orange and chart was the ticket dipped in Bite On Roe. All the fish were quality size. Good luck out there.

Dang! The one guy I didn't talk with out there yesterday...LOL. Great catch l2exellen! I trolled orange & chartreuse quite a bit but sounds like Bite On Roe made the difference...way to go!

I drove by Irvine Lake today (Sunday 11/2) and the water's really low. Rain didn't even make a dent.

Bummer kfc rr, I was hopin' your luck was better than mine. Maybe the water will cool some and things pick up later in November; I plan on goin' out over the Thanksgiving weekend and try it again. In the meantime it's back into the salty stuff for me!

I'm gonna try this weekend (Saturday) to find the elusive Monster bass (thinking throwing hudds, trip trouts, rats etc) I may need an ice pack after throwing all that lumber

Went to Lake Irvine to fish for bass and got skunked. I don't have my fishfinder but don't think that would of helped me today. Tough, lots of yaks, tubes and boats having a good time, all in all many were saying tough day. Looked like everyone was fishing hard. Every so often trout would break water at the points where the large cove cuts from the main lake. I well try again, I was in a camo Wilderness Ride 115x. See you guys soon
