San luis reservoir

Whew!!

Finally got the skunk off the yak from san luis reservoir. Scored two 23" stripers . caught and released a 22 and 17 inch. top water lures were the ticket!

Paddled from dinosaur point out about 3/4 of a mile until the wind picked up. Paddled back to the cove for protection. After about another hour and a half , the wind settled. Was a great day. Paddled from seven am to 12:00. What a work out.

Congratulation, I've thought of launching from Dino point and going to Portuguese cove, just haven't made the time..

Craigh

My first score from a yak.

I do know you should be wary of the winds though. They do pick up all of a sudden.

Today was a bit of a work out from last week. I had the wind in my favor coming in. (but no fish!) Today it was against me! But great fishing

congrats!

How big of a top-water lure were you using? how heavy of line?

and btw, unless you have pics, we are not believing any car salesmen,  .

Even with pictures he might be pulling a "bait and switch" on us.

Yes! and bye the way. your gonna need a 100,000 mile warranty to go with that vehicle. It's going to be in your best interest. Trust ME!!

I do need photo's. My digital camera has been misplaced by my significant other. I do have them on my cell phone. Which does'nt have internet capabilities. I am probably going to pix message to a friend who has email, so i can download.

ha  ha, ho ho, for all ye nay sayers. Behold

I admit that those do bear a passing resemblance to fish... 

now you can answer my other questions above,

I believe the top water lure was an accura.  BMWs catch bigger fish, and if you are interested in the record, we need to consult your financial planner...

It was neither an acura or bmw. It was the new 2008 honda accord.Also tried the 2007 and 2008 cadillac.  You don't need a financial planner e2g. 0% for five years

J, you doubted my integrity. Then you ask for my top water secrets. How dare you!!!!

I can tell you this? when you lauch out of dinosaur point:............ paddle to the east,.................... look straight out ................and you will see ........................................"A BIG RED X IN THE WATER" fish there

J/k J. I was using 15lb test with a shad pattern. top water on the troll.

Thanks,  .  I don't really know what I am doing over there, so some data
points, like the wholesale cost of a 2008 honda accord station wagon with everything,
can be very useful at times!

Now that you have caught and documented catching keepers, you are an expert!
So... I have a little 2.5" chug type lure and some big 5" mirro-lure poppa dogs (saltwater
spooks more or less), do you think either of those would work?

  if you ever need a honda or cadillac i do work for a dealership here in salinas. A great price for any member would be no problem!

Grats' for spilling BLOOD for the first time! and them are NICE looking participants too!

Nice pic avatar. I'm working my way up. Need to find the big boys like the one in your photo!
