Bummer on the tourney rain out..wondered about that.

Nice limits! Got a 3-pack a few weekends ago. Thinkin of hittin Irvine next Monday.

That pink Mira is the hot bait right now for sure, keep hearing about it.

Most tackle shops have them...they're nothing special...Savon, Turners, Longfin....they all hav'em.

Nice job Tony, it was fun fishing (I mean, you fishing, me just kayaking next to you) with you. You did have the "special, secret" lure. The rain was not so bad, it was seening my meter lit up all day, everyone around me with fish and getting a ZERO.

My screen name is "StinkyMatt" for a reason.

I am going to try Irvine this Wednesday. Pick my Christmas tree in the morning and fish the lake after that

Any advise you could provide for trolling for trout. This weekend should be my first time trolling for trout off my kayak. I've been told the further your line is out the deeper your bait will lay in the water. How far behind your kayak were you trolling the mira shad? I'm guessing you paddle at a very slow pace?

If heard trolling a crappie jig is also a good lure for trout. How would you troll a jig (is the weight of the weighted hook sufficient to get the jig deep enough as you troll)?
