on Sunday I ended up going to Cachuma. My friend actually called me and we fished from shore all day. We<BR> couldn't rent a boat because his brother was working till 7:30. It's so stupid, I can't drive a boat on Cachuma<BR> because you have to be 16 and I'm only 15 but I can drive a boat on the ocean. What's up with that? okay,<BR> anyway, my friend Todd camped there all weekend and he hadn't caught one single fish of any kind, which I<BR> find kind of difficult to do. The largemouth and smallmouth were both up shallow in the back of Harvey's<BR> Cove. We started out sight fishing, throwing really light, subtle jigs and stuff at the spawning bass. Todd tried<BR> one bass for like and hour and a half. I spotted one suspended over some weeds and threw a little jig at it<BR> and he sucked it up. After about an hour and a half of that, I decided to do some real bass fishing and threw<BR> a spinnerbait over some weeds. On my first cast I got ripped by a 3 pounder. I threw that spinnerbait at least<BR> three dozen more times all over the shoreline with nothing. We went in for some dinner at around 5 and got<BR> back out at around 7. I decided to throw a Castaic threadfin because the bass seemed more active than in<BR> the afternoon. I got one more dink that felt like a clump of moss. As for my friend Todd, every person on the<BR> lake and fishing from shore schooled him hard-core. He caught 0 fish of any kind in three days while I caught<BR> 3 in half a day. On Friday, my friend nick went up there instead of me (like I told you on the stardust) and he<BR> hooked up with a decent smallmouth. His drag was really loose for some reason so he buttoned it down but<BR> he tightened it way too much and ended up breaking the tip of his rod, causing him to fall backwards onto<BR> the rocks, break the butt of his rod and slide into the water, then his line snapped. When me and Todd went<BR> on Sunday, we saw the smallmouth swimming around with his red buoyant in it's mouth.
