Corona Lake report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I took the Team to Corona Lake to pursue the Jumbo Trout

. We started off with great expectations; after all Corona is a beautiful Lake with green hills in the back drop and trees all around, Name: 100_0072.jpg

We saw lots of huge Jumbo Trout go into the water, but we couldn't get any to bite, only the smaller ones. One of the more "crafty" shore fisherman developed his "snagging" (not allowed) technique to fruition as he managed to snag a 12 pounder right in front of us and through us!!! With all the yelling, splashing and cursing and weights, hooks and line flying it felt like we were in the "combat zone!" Full speed ahead, I approached one fella on the shore who repeatedly cast his line at us, he promptly ran away when I jumped out of the kayak to untie his hook from my son's line. Yep, his weighted treble hook with 40 lb line is not the proper gear for this lake. After calming way down, I thought about the real reason I was here.... Name: 100_0083.jpg
