I'm game on 5 or 6 Feb. Can't toherwise as I have no backup to leave during hte week

Stan · January 27, 2005, 05:32:52 PM

Sounds like a plan Cal. Let me just check on the family schedule for that weekend. Anyone else want to go but during the week?

TomG · January 27, 2005, 06:29:13 PM

I will be going on the 3rd of February but someone from work already asked to come with me. Its suppose to be in the 60's for about 4 days prior to the 3rd that's why I picked that day. What time is the lake opening over there??

Stan · January 27, 2005, 07:14:40 PM

The gates open one half hour before sunrise and closes one half hour after sunset. It cost $6 per vehicle and $6 per boat.

Stan,
Looks like the only day I'ma avail is the 6th o a Sunday. Saturday I'll be in ventura. I may take the boat and go to Casistas..Helen has a class and isn't able to drive at nioght so I take her to the classes

Stan · January 28, 2005, 11:16:54 AM

I don't think I'll be able to swing it on Sunday. promised the wife I would go to church. Any other takers? I'll probably go on the 3rd of Feb same day as Tom, and then again sometime before the tournament.

calincalif50 · January 28, 2005, 12:51:01 PM

ok...well I guess I'll se on the trny day then

Stan · January 28, 2005, 12:57:58 PM

Well, maybe somebody wants to go. I don't mind fishin' alone, I actually concentrate a little better. I just thought I would open an invitation to the guys in the club who don't get out on the big lakes much.

TomG · January 28, 2005, 08:36:35 PM

Stan, instead of the 3rd I may go on the 2nd. I will keep you posted as soon as I am definite on the date. I can bring you the book and other papers Cal gave too me.

Stan · January 28, 2005, 09:06:15 PM

Whenever I'm flexible.

Stan · January 31, 2005, 10:17:00 AM

TomG, you still headed out to Santa Margarita this week?

TomG · January 31, 2005, 11:09:28 PM

I will be there Wednesday morning and should arrive at the lake around 0700.

Stan · February 07, 2005, 12:27:17 PM

Okay last chance for Santa Margarita this week. I'm going tomorrow 0dark30. Any takers. I'll probaboy be going next week too.

TomG · February 08, 2005, 08:26:59 PM

Stan, how did it go out there today? Share some info.

Stan · February 08, 2005, 10:10:54 PM

Let's see, water was still pretty muddied up visibility was about 6 inches throughout the entire lake, water temp was 50-51 degrees. Man what a great to be out on the lake, partly cloudy skies warmed up to about 65 around noon and absolutely no wind. About 5 other boats out on the lake today I didn't see them catch anything. Got bit twice, and landed 2 fish both about 3lbs, I guess my zero days are over, I hope. Didn't know I would have to get my feet wet to launch the boat. The lake looks great I can't wait until it clears up to about 2 feet vis. It's going to be some good fishing in the next few months. Going again next Wednesday to see if the bite picks up. I'll keep you posted.

Stan

TomG · February 09, 2005, 01:20:49 PM

what bait did you catch them on and how deep were they when you caught them?

calincalif50 · February 09, 2005, 02:24:42 PM

TomG
I sent an email to Bryan and you. the CE form 35 for the lake reed clean up has been approved by environmental. Adrian has the form. One of you needs to get the rest coord. Safety, etc. Adrian has spoken with the POC in CE and he said to be sure you make a copy of the form at each signature as CE has a habit of losing the forms. If we can do this before the month is out great. But at all cost we must have it done before the nesting season begins again. CE will be assisting with possibly the sickle bar mower to eradicate the reeds along the banks near the dam and where the picnic tables are. Lake two is included in the removal. We have to let them know when its all corrd as the Chumash Tribe will be hauling it all away and they will need at least a weeks notice

Stan · February 09, 2005, 10:31:48 PM

TomG, I used the kind of baits that have hooks. And I don't how deep I could only see 6 inches into the water. Hope this helps.

TomG · February 09, 2005, 10:55:08 PM

Oh, I see how things are now. So we are gonna play that way huh...............

Stan · February 10, 2005, 02:16:56 PM

I can't tell you all my secrets. I'll tell you what, if I do better next Tuesday I'll give you more info on this last trip.
