#31694, "My First Fish of 06'"
|
IFISH say's,
CZ and I went our yesterday via Bass Boat for a Jan excursion to the good ol' Delta. It was cooooold, but bearable. CZ had to show me how it's done right quick by putting 2 fish in the boat. He had a 3 and 2lber. Then it was my turn. I still owe it all to CZ cause he gave me the jig I didn't have, and he figured out the pattern. I pitched it to a weed edge, drug it maybe 2 feet, and then there was weight. I set the hook, but my drag was too loose ( new reel x( ) and when I set, and extra 2 feet of line gave cause of it. OH NO ! I reel down fast as I can, put pressure on the spool with my thumb and felt if she was stil there. Tug, tug......yup, she's there. I tighten up my drag real quick and begin the truck pull. She dug down into the DEEPEST weeds she could find. I thought I lost her some points in the fight. When we finally netted her, there was about 10 lbs of delta skank weeds coming with it. She weighted a nice 6 lbs even on the digi. My first 5lb + Delta fish too.

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!
