Irvine Lake 2/18/2008
In preparation for the March tournament, I took my nephew to Irvine Lake. My nehphew, Matt, is only 6 years old and he got a Mini X for his birthday and has been dying to get out on the water. Here he is ready to go. So I told him on the way to the lake, you have to get used to your kayak. If we're lucky enough to catch a fish, then great. Then before I know it, he's paddling away. I was surprised at how well he did. We paddled almost the whole perimeter of the lake. We only stoppped once as we tied up together and had PB&J sandwiches. We trolled little rapalas in firetiger and gold 'n yellow from 5 feet of water to 40 feet of water at different speeds for nada the whole trip. Here is Matty trolling for trout. http://www.youtube.com/user/locokayako Anyways, Matt is asking me when we're going again and if we could go and get some halibut, butwe might just hit up LJ in 2 weeks. Can you guys tell the WSB to stay and play until then. gabe

Right on Gabe!!!
This is the kinda report I like. I hope you bring your nephew Matt to the PN tourney at Irvine Lake. I know there are fish in Irvine Lake...they do a great job stocking, its just getting lucky to be at the right place at the right time with bait in the water. Good kayak for Matt. I see he gets to carry your beer / bait? |
