I knew that I should have gone to Pyramid when I saw over 20 boats in line at 6:30. Talked with the guys waiting in front of me until 7 when they opened the front gate. It took about a half hour to get through the gate.

Tried fishing a pencil popper around the marina but there was a continuous flow of boats in and out so after a half hour I took off for my regular spots on the fishing arm.

There were boats everywhere, on every point, on all the flats, most within casting distance of each other; plus a few wake boarders.
About 9:00, a stiff breeze started coming out of the NE so I decided to go over to the ski side where the water would be much nicer.

WHOA!!! beautiful water!!! I also found out why there were so many boats on the fishing arm...."FEAR FACTOR" was filming at the West ramp and they had the entire ski arm closed to everyone...on a saturday. What's there to "FEAR" at Castaic? Thanks guys.

By this time, the wind was kicking up the water into a bit of a chop and more boats were flowing into the fishing arm so I headed for the ramp

The trout were wide open. 3000#s planted less than 24hours before get pretty hungry. But I wasn't there for the trout in 6" of water at the ramp. I got a chuckle on trouting strategy: there's no fishing from the docks so the guys were tying up to the dock and "fishing" from their boats.

Stopped by the lower lake for some peace and quiet, talked with the patrol guy about the night fishing scheduled for saturday night, and went on home.

Since I was in the perfect mood....I took a couple of hours to change the wheel bearings on the trailer.

Anyone fish saturday night?

As long as I STILL have a full gas tank, I'll be heading back up on MOnday AM to try it again.
