i live in so-cal and fish the Hesperia aqueduct, about 8 miles before it goes into silverwood. ive gotten a few nice cats and only one striper that went 8"...lol.
ive been wanting to fish Quail lake. is the lake more productive or is the duct leading into the lake a better bet? i prefere to fish cats, but am always up for catching anything else, like stripers or large carp.
ive never seen any shad in there, all we have down this way (that ive seen) are Perch. and very few at that. do you know a good way to capture large perch on rod&reel? i usually use a dip net in the half submerged pipes and get a few out of those, but i usually can only get 3-5 a night...
