LabRatsFishing Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Been putting a lot of time in here and that's gonna be the home base. Wonder if any of you fellow bait slingers have any slight tips or attaboys. fishing it on a 19ft skeeter, up and down and sidescan equipped. I've been seeing some decent sign of life on secondary points and coves near the damn but still having trouble converting that to bites. Let me know boys. No specific info needed. just wanna start a little chat for the guys who fish this body of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rbalden Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 It’s got some good smallmouth in it also. Lots of good spots. Just watch out for the jet skis. south side of the island has also been good. second cove to west after launch always produces. stripers all over the place also Holtan and LabRatsFishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of fish on that island, all those fish from the dam in the summer seemed to have pushed shad onto the beaches and pints on that island Rbalden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL_ED51 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Will break out the trout baits and shore pound soon enough. I know the water is cold in January, like stack of nickels cold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRatsFishing Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Its almost that time of year... for what its worth since I can't get up too often. the schoolies were destroying bait right at 5pm yesterday as the sun hid behind the mountains, full foam. fun stuff. Me and the chick ended up running into those. She was almost as stoked as I was Holtan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rbalden Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Drive by it almost everyday. But haven’t fished in for years. Been thinking about throwing my travel rod in the truck and chuck a swimmer for a few. was just reading some more about the lake a few days back. Good striker on the outlet and if you want to hike to fish the inlet Holtan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good striker on the outlet and if you want to hike to fish the inlet Went yesterday evening. Stopped a few times and ended up at the inlet. Threw a few different shad glides, triple trout, and softies in the current. No love. I believe it had to be the first time ever I been there with no wind. It took about 30 minutes to walk from the inlet to the parking lot. LabRatsFishing and Rbalden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewManFishing Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 fished it almost every day last summer, they always bit better when the water was clearer, if it was dirty it was almost a waste of time for me. Got them most consistently on glides extremely close to cover/ cliff walls. 90% of my bites were within a foot of some sort of cover, usually a rock pile/ point. in my opinion, compared to other socal lakes the fish in pyramid are more agressive and will eat reaction baits better than almost any other lake around. My best 2 baits were hinkle and punker, but I never fished it super hard in the wintertime. Watch out for giant stripers.....
