Irvine Lake 11/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Saturday must have been WFO, cause Sunday was totally different! Might have been the storm front passing by, but the trout were far from active on Sunday. The week before I was nailing them on faster retrieves, yesterday they wanted it SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Float tubers/rental boats soaking nightcrawlers seemed to do the best. I finally broke down and fished some nightcrawlers and got bit. I inched a white power worm around for a couple more.

Strange, but I think the shore anglers are doing better due to the super low water levels. Many of my spots are inside the buoy line now and not fishable from a kayak.

Side note, the week before I metered schools of fish. Yesterday, nada, the fish are settling into the lake and moving about.

I'm planning on fishing the Vine again on Sunday, but hope this helps the Team Sewer crew for this weekend.
