Striper Fishing Schiffman Style
Lori and I met Scott Schiffman at Gallions Corner in Castaic at 5:30 AM on Sunday 6-26-11 to begin a day of Striped Bass fishing on Castaic Lake. We successfully bid on a trip with Scott at the awards banquet and had been looking forward to our chance to catch some Stripers ever since.
We loaded or gear into the boat, parked our car and headed off to the lake. We successfully launched Scott’s very comfortable boat and away we went. Scott headed to the buoy line at the back dam, looked around until he metered some fish and we set out two anchors to hold us in place in front of a promising looking cove. We baited up with chunk sardine and sat back with anticipation.
Lori was the first to get bit and she connected with her first striper ever! I always get a big kick out of watching her catch fish; I knew that she was having fun since stripers are strong hard fighters and because of her huge smile. It wasn’t long before she caught another nice one and Scott and I looked at each other; we knew we were getting schooled by Lori. We were getting bit but not hooking up.
I finally connected and had a nice fight with a decent sized fish. Then a lull in the action set in. We discussed tried and true things to do to get the fish to bite but it wasn’t until Lori pulled out a sandwich and had a knife full of mayo in her hand when her rod started jumping. Both Scott and I said “Put the sandwich down and swing!” She got the mayo under control and had another nice fight on her hands, this was a bigger fish that walked her around the boat a bit but she won out in the end and landed another nice one.
I followed that awhile later with my Personal Best striper; man do those fish fight hard for their size! Fishing with Scott is a great experience because he is a wonderful host and really knows his quarry, he is a student of the striped bass, knows its biology, habits and menu. Lori and I really enjoyed our day on the lake not for just the fishing but also for the scenery, wildlife and good company.
