Linesiders - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It all started for me back in Early February, got back from La Jolla with a score of yellowtail and decided to try my luck local.

Headed to Lake San Antonio for some trolling.
As for the lake, it has been between 3 to 5% of capacity all year. No hope in sight either.

Takes about 30-45 minutes of trolling to get to the dam from the far north end of the lake. If this lake was full it would take hours. When full about 20 miles long. Now maybe 3 miles. Sad indeed.

Good signs out there, by the looks of it on the depth finder.

Hat Trick... 30+lbs of fish...

JK and RHYAK

This bite went on for all of Feburary and into March till they Spawned out and now seem to be pretty hard to find.
Here is a shot from one of my best days.
7 Fish landed, kept 5 for the family.

Quick Video release of one of the fish from that day.

Jealous! Nice sized stripers. I'd be all over that! One of the tastiest fish I have eaten too.

Mostly troll fish?

Nice fish. Hopefully things turn around soon or I am afraid this will be the fate of most our lakes in this state.
