      Report: in at jones valley at 730am, only one boat ahead o us, the oldest boy is up and the bet was on, air temp a cool 37, wore my guide wear or the irst time and it is great stu, ran over to clickapudi and put the kid on a great jig spot, steep slope with some stumps on it and I miss 2 real quick and he is nervous, he hooks up and gets a 2 lb'er right up to the boat and it jumps o, i stick a dink and he loses another bet, caught 13 more and two at 2.6 on the MGM 156,127 and the 34 and 79. The 34, a salt and pepper with a yellow tail accounted or the biggest at 2.6. at 930 the bite came to a screeching halt, we went to the giant orange where he paid up and bought me breakast AGAIN! that is 13 in a row, you would think this kid would get this igured out, he almost had me today though. water getting a bit murkier each day, more debris loating around especially upstream in the pit arm.

      Report: this is in response to Mr. Justin or his rather intelligent "ishing report" he made back on 12/11(obviously he had nothing better to do that day). heres my best tip just or you...go ish...maybe you'll relax a little. Thank you much to Jim or his outstanding point on the subject on 12/15...a real sportsman. although its not my intentions to be so blunt Justin but isherman like you make the sport ugly. who cares that the report says BASS ishing report? There's trout in this lake too, is there not? Catish? Crappie? etc...why can't we all make the best o this site and appreciate the ino and tips that one contributes.Fishing is ishing. Enough about that. As or the "sounds like a challenge" comment, we'll probably being doing quite a bit BASS ishing in early spring, Justin, so keep your eye out or a metallic green boat. We'll bring the beer, you supply the cheese and "WHINE". There maybe some un on its way. We're up to the challenge i you are!

      Tips: BASS reports only please. it obviously can get a bit annoying to some,(or one).

      Report: Dear Mr, Watkins,I you think my story is bogus about ask being to go to another part o the lake or the ilm company on 11/01/01.Beore you contract oot in mouth desease, Why dont you do some research ie;ask the lie guards i they know o any ilming on the lake,particularly on that date, then ask i they have ever ask anyone to move to another part o the lake or ilming.Go to the main gate and ask about their reund policy.Yea Mike, I dont have anything better to do than to make up "B.S." stories.Mike,do you work or the Castaic Water Agency?P.S.In a couple o years, start takeing a can o corn nibblets with you to Castaic.....I hear CARP LOVE IT!
      City: Canyon Country,

      Tips: Ask at the gate when you pay about any ilm production on that day, it may save you the hassle o reloading your boat,going to another lake and shelling out another $12.00 or $14.00 or you can e-mail Mike, mabey he will reund your money.....
