Congrats on the nice delta sow, there, Nick! Very impressive!

Yeah, I took Chris O. out to Calero Sunday (he had already caught his first fish at Shadow Cliffs on Saturday -- a *trout*, if that really counts :+ !). Well, he's got his second now -- a healthy 2 lb'er he caught on a dropshot over by the big spillway. As for me, well, I'm still lookin'...never got a bite, which seemed to be pretty much par for the course according to others I talked to out there, as well. Chris never got tapped again after his first, either.

Anyway, I'll keep trying (I think it took, like, *5 trips* last year to get my first, although it was a nice 4-1/2'er, in just about the same area Chris got his on Sunday). I tried to squeeze one last '05 fish or two out of the *Castaic* lagoon, on my way down to San Diego over the holidays, but some heavy winds & otherwise dismal conditions didn't allow me the pleasure. It's pretty cool, though -- I never realized Castaic is so close to the highway as you pass through on 5! I'll definitely be stopping in there every chance I get when heading south in the future (and on the way back home, too)!

Tha's alright, I'm just happy the days are getting longer now, & better conditions are coming soon (not soon enough, of course)!


See y'all out there!
