I had suspected that the free fishing day would be 1 of 2 days of the year that I would stay away from Cattle Boats. I figure that everyone and their mother will be out in full force for that day.
I have also found people with licenses that don't respect the size and limit regulations. I found 2 guys at Castaic on Tuesday morning around 4am with 17 rods in the water. They weren't about to give me room to fish from the dock. They were afraid that I would catch all the LMB and not leave them anything to take home.
I went back to the car, made a phone call and in 15minutes, I had all the room I needed. The Sheriff came by and it turned out that they had no licenses and were keeping 8" and 10" LMB. They had a total of 7 bass. It's too bad they were arrested for what they were doing but ignorance can bite you in the bass if you are not carefull.
I ended up catching a 4lb and a 6lb on topwater at the crack of dawn.(released of course)
I'm going back out on Saturday in the float tube. That will keep me out of range of the anglers after the freshly planted Bows they just put in there yesterday morning.
We are going to play with some of the LMB and then we are going to target some of the Kittys that have been reported in there around 40lbs. Those should be fun on a float tube.
