Anybody in the SLO area wanna go fishing these next couple weeks at one of the local lakes ? I dont have a boat but willing to fish from shore. Any tubers in the area or 'yakers ?

Thanks
Loye

Hey Loye!
I live in Templeton and fish every weekend on the lakes around here (San Antonio, Naci, Santa Margarita, Lopez). I mostly fish from a Kickboat (fished San Antonio on Sunday) or like Yesterday, I go rent a boat at Lake Cachuma and have an awsome day trolling. If you have a float tube you should also check out a club called North Kern Float tubers (NKFT.com). I gave some flyers describing the club and Tournament dates to the folks at Tackle Warehouse in SLO to hang up. The Club is having about 5 Float tube/Kickboat Tournaments in this area this year. Its a lot of fun and you learn a bunch about fishing at the same time. I will be heading out of town till Xmas....(next free fishing day is the 30th) Drop me an email if you want to hook up and go fishing!

Hey Brian,

If you get a chance to take that boat of yours out, you should take that short trek for you up to Cachuma. I was trolling a couple of different things yesterday for about 5 hours, ended up with 2 large Trout, 2 dink trout, a nice size Smallie, and a huge Crappie ( bigger then the one they have stuffed on the wall there):) I am a true believer in those 3" Big Hammers Trapped rigged in the "Sea Wolf" color. You never know what will grab onto those baits.....Havn't seen much happening else where except for the Spots at Naci.

Bryan,
sounds like a good day ,i saw they stocked trout last week hopefully they keep them coming.hows the lake level? last time i launched there they were on the secondary launch and it was even pretty dangerous to launch then.have you tried the surf lately ? i went to my local dunes last week and only caught 2 in 4 hours of fishing and hiking around.

Brian,

Cachuma Lake level is way low, they are able to launch boats there, like you said from the secondary ramp. I watched a couple of boats being launched and it didn't look to bad. The guy at the boat rental said the lake will be going down further too! Too bad. We had the best luck straight across from the marina then down towards the dam on the same side. As for the surf, I have not been out yet, I did read that post in here about perch fishing north of Morro Bay Rock, sounded promising. Seems to me it was around this time last year when it started picking up around Oceano. The next day I can fish is the 30th, so I will flip a coin between Surf fishing Oceano and kickboating Naci.

Have a great Holiday!
Bryan

Central Coast get-together for Perch ? Im totally down. Anywhere from Pismo to Cambria is cool.

I can fish the 30th as well ,would like a reason to throw some big swimbaits and jigs.let me know i'm open all day to fish ,the wife says.LOL.

Wow your right about that....I will have to keep an eye on the weather reports to see if it clears any towards the end of the week...The beach may be a No-Go though...might have to hit one of the lakes. No idea which one, I do catch fish at Naci, but they are no 4-5 lbers like Margarita or Lopez can put out...

Bryan

well our liquid sunshine is not letting up too much ,according to the news there is anopther storm behind todays due tomorrow afternoon,we may have a good bite in between fronts @ lopez etc tomorrow ,if your still up to it give me a call @ 805-343-1316,
brian

I'm available for fishing sunday,probably will fish lopez lake depending on how the storms roll in.I'm hoping the lakes will get some rise out of these storms tracks,the first minute santa margarita opens for boats im there........

Hey Brian,

I got your number, just haven't been to motivated to get out with all this rain. From the weather reports, looks like Saturday is the day to try and get out, only problem is I have family visiting right now, so I might have to skip it till next weekend...grrrr....I'm itchin to go fishing too! There is no dout the lakes have come up a great way, wish I would of taken a before an after of Naci or even better Margarita.
