Hey guys. This is my first time posting as a registered user but I am familiar with this and many of the other boards. I don't post much but I practically live on these boards when I'm not on the water and get much of my needed info. for upcoming trips.
Anyway, on with the report: I decided to try Laguna on this rare day away from work. Never fished it before but obviously I have heard alot about it. Rented a boat and although everyone in the entire Western Hemisphere was out in front of the docks, the guy told me to try the flats to the right. Thanks to him, I was into to the fish real quick. I got out to the spot about 7:30( I live in Arcadia and had a late night out ) and there were 2 boats with me in the area. It was non-stop until 8:45! Hooked 9 fish and kept 4 with 2 popping off. The other 3 were released due to the fact they were hooked on spinners and I didn't want my limit just yet. All fish were caught on rainbow Power Bait dipped in Pro-cure garlic and white & green Rooster Tails. No biguns but all were fat 1 to 2 lbers. Did see one that went about 4 lbs and that was on one of the boats next to me, also caught on a Rooster Tail. After that magical hour, the bite slowed to just a pick and I managed another 4 fish until I left at 12:00( only got a half day boat ). I gave three of them to the boat next to me since they had three guys on the boat and kept my final fish for my limit. Needless to say, I will definately be back and might make this a favorite destination over Santa Ana and Irvine. Little bit of a drive but well worth it. Oh and before I go, I used short leaders. No more than 12 to 14 inches. Same tactics as Santa ana and Irvine. You all probably know that but I noticed alot of people using longer leaders and they weren't getting hit as much as I was. Anyway, glad to be a part of the board and I'll talk with you later.
