i snagged the trout off a rat-l-trap (chrome with blue back)... it was weird... we were going really fast and then bam, the line starts moving out... thought it had hit the rocks on the bottom or jammed in the motor till we saw the trout...

someone using castaic soft trouts was able to land about 15 or thats what he said... i was pissed because it looked like the bass were all in his livewell

as for the lake... with water levels like 40 feet below, you could see what they called a tire reef... 3 tires stuck together...and there were alot of nice little rocky spots and cover that would have been underwater...
