Two nice trout caught at lake cachuma.

Went camping at cachuma lake this weekend and rented a boat to go fish down by the dam. We caught two 3LB trout off a jig meant for crappie. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

There was plenty of spots left.

Cool, thanks for the report!

Thanks for the report!

Nice catch man! I used to fish Cachuma quite often as a kid. The dam is the best for nice trout for sure. We used to kill it on Velveeta cheese. How low was the water level? I heard that Arrowhead Island isn't even an island anymore, but more like an extension of the shoreline or a peninsula of sorts. Is that true? Attached is a pic of me years ago with one of the two bass I caught that morning in Johnson's Bay out of Lake Cachuma.

Ok... Maybe no picture. Can't figure out how to do it... That really happened though dang it!

We have an SOP/instructions some where around on how to post pics. It does appear to need an update. The steps are the same but the view is a little different.
Here is a link to one way.

Yeah I saw that. Read it again for good measure. I'd like to think I'm tech savvy but maybe not so much. Oh well. I'll make it my avatar someday. I figured that part out. Maybe when I reach bobber status I'll have it down.

Thanks Jerdon! You are a class act sir. He saw me struggling to post pics and posted it for me. Thanks man. I love this forum already.

Right on Jerdon, Urban Cowboy that is a nice bass and I am sure some great memories.

Absolutely Jeff. I still have that hellbender lure that my great grandpa gave me. I don't dare fish with it anymore. I just keep it in my box for good luck.

The water level was only at around 13 percent full & yes that is true. Still a nice place to go tho.
