Went out to a Corona Lake here in SoCal and caught 13 steelhead and 3
catfish, the steelhead there run about 10lbs and up. Best bait is
earthworm, blown up works best. If you want to have a great time you
should try it if it is in your area, admission is $18 and you don't
need a fishing license, you can fish 24 hours there, unlike normally
at other california lakes there are set times the lakes are open and
very very few will allow any night fishing.

Friend of mine and I went wade fishing weekend before last. I caught
my
first keeper spec and keeper red on live shrimp (no particular
manufacturer
but one day the shrimp were from Corpus and one day the shrimp were
from
Galveston). I'd complain that Ernie's Too raised their price to
$16/qt but I
wouldn't want to plug them or how good their hot burgers are mid-day
between
cold water wading shifts.

Didn't catch much on artificials but I guess I can't say we were
using
sal****er assassins.

Or that we were wade fishing off a SeeDoo jet ski. Or that I was
using new
Shakespeare gear and by not using Stren braided line, I caught
1/10th of
what my friend caught. However, I was glad to use my new stringer
but I
probably shouldn't mention that I bought it at Wal-Mart.

We were close to San Luis Pass (though for non-commercial reasons I
won't
get you any closer by saying where we were in relation to the pier
since the
pier charges money to get in).

Actually, since we are going back out this weekend, I really can't
say where
exactly we were because the buddy with the boat would toss me off
the back
end of the jet ski (again) for telling :)

Is it commercialisation to mention Ernie's Too? How else would a
fisherman
know where to buy bait or that the price had gone up?

Hmmm...

Good fishing, all!
