Shawn knows LMV better then anyone, he has the big bass to prove it- this lake is amazing as far as 10-15 pound hawgs are concerned, it takes some finesse here, but learn from a good fisherman and you will be stoked! Lake Irvine is an underrated bass fishery, and Laguna Niguel has it's share of nice fish, also. You live in probably the best bass fishing in the country, take advantage of it! Good luck!
