Lake Irvine Report 1-16-2011...

Went to Irvine Lake on Sunday and brought 2 Kids, Roman and Roxy. The Lake is full and the launch was very easy....Name:  1_17_11 033.jpg

Roman's turn, as he hooks and lands a nice one on the 2 pound test rig...it was amazing to watch Roman get towed on light line - 2lb test!

It was an absolute beautiful day on the water, clear blue skies, air temp was somewhere in the 70's and water temp was a cool 61 degrees. Irvine Lake is close to home and the fish are large and hungry! 'I love it when a plan comes together!' -ED

You're absolutely right about the tournament Roby. Unfortunately we didn't enter. It appears that Roman's fish would have yielded over $400 dollars! The greater reward for me was having a great day fishing with the kids.

I heard "Bubba" had the trailer towed out to deeper water to make a better "honey hole" for the catfishin'/noodlin' in the summer time.
