Next trout stocking will be this Tuesday Night with Alpers Trout ??? Jan 15.

This past weekend was outrageous! Fishing was excellent! Anglers landed huge fish after this past Thursday night's stocking of the Utah's. Finally having beautiful weekend after these rains we were able to have a huge load of huge fish, many fish in the 8+ lbs range. The best bait to use have been night crawlers inflated with garlic oil, white Gulp power bait, Lip Rippers lures & jigs, salmon eggs, and castmasters. The best places to fish have been the point & the flats. Fishing from the boats has been really productive between the aerators by the island, three pipes, and in the flats on the back side of the island.

• Jeff Markland of Newport Beach landed a nice 6lb hook-jaw using a mealworm on shore at the flats.
• Bob and Justin Reichert from Granada Hills had a nice 6 fish stringer with the largest trout weighing in at 4 lbs. They were using Lip Rippers lures and salmon eggs from a boat.
• Jacob Frisbee from Costa Mesa landed a nice trout 4 ?? lb using a night crawler and white power egg combo.
• Mark Deitch from San Clemente had a nice 4 ?? lber using an inflated night crawler with garlic oil.
• Jennie Bull from Costa Mesa had two nice trout using salmon eggs and night crawlers.

We are having a bonus stocking this week on Tuesday Night, Nov. 15 with Alpers. Don't miss all the action, there is still a ton of BIG fish that have not been caught and the weather has been beautiful & this coming Monday is a holiday. Happy fishing!
