I arrived at Horseshoe at about 10 AM. I loaded up my yellow lab and put my rain gear on. I was the only boat in the parking lot and there were only three guys on the bank near the skate board ramp. I trolled for about an hour and did not get a bump. One of the guys on the bank was setting the hook constantly. He asked me if i was doing any good and I told him, "not a bite!" He set the hook again and got a Triploid. He was using power bait with about 2 feet leader. I anchored out from his longest cast and started casting a Rooster Tail. I caught four small trout in four cast.

It slowed down and I thought I better troll to find them again. I trolled from the skate board ramp to way past the boat ramp...nothing. I trolled back to I-5 and saw a couple trout rise near the the bushes along the I-5 end. I anchored and started catching fish again. I casted for about 3 hours and had a hit or caught one on almost every cast. I cannot even guess how many trout I caught and released. The guys on the bank right at the skate board ramp were watching and started casting spinners too.

I ended up getting cold hands and took home four nice Triploids. I lost two other Loids at the boat. The Loids pull hard using an ultra-light Cables rod with four pound mono. See you out there. I am the one in the 11 foot Steensen sled with my yellow lab, Scout.
