Quick report. Took advantage of a weekday off, and hit Irvine Lake. Very frustrating start in Woody's Cove made me move, so I set up at the campground. Instant WFO on the newly-planted fish. Double limits later I'm on my way home. My bite started wityh be beloved bloawn half-crawler but quickly switched to M&M, and then just as quickly as the bite turned on, it stopped. The fish had moved farther off the beach so a long cast was needed to get to the fish, which seemed to be wanting Power Bait now.
Awesome grade of f\ish, nothing under a pound, six over 2 pounds with two of those over 3. There was half a dozen wipers cruising around. Looked like they had been spawning (I know, they don't do that). They were covered with fungus and werre not interested in doing much. Looked to weigh between a pound and four pounds. I hope they make it.
Thanks for the great trout, Irvine Lake! Best overall limit of fish I've taken from there in a couple of years.
