Went out to Irvine on Friday in a attempt to bring in a mixed bag of fish. We started out trolling for trout and landed about 20 on Rapalas and other assorted spoons. Had our fill by 1100 and then decided to take a stab at bass fishing on this lake. With Oso close by, I've never bass fished at the 'Vine. Picked up some tips from bass fisherman on the lake and others (thanks Musky Man)and started out by the launch ramp. I used a green weenie, and on my first cast I hooked up. Unfortunatly, I was using a 7' Kencor noodle rod (for jigging)and was slow on pulling the trigger and missed 'em. I threw right back out to the bank where I got bit, this time using a spinner bait, and had a 3# follow it to the boat then it turned away. But he wasn't done yet. My plastic worm was suspended in about 2' of water when I laid the Kencor down and the bass then attacked the weenie. My rod almost went overboard. I saved the rod, but lost the fish.

About two hours later, we concluded the bass fishing portion of the trip and wound up with 5 bass, all about 2#. Fished mainly with green or motor oil colored worms around the brushy areas of the marina and then out in the flats by the cliffs and brush.Drop shotted and Carolina rigged.

This place looks like it has potential, especially for early morning topwater angling.
