Multi-Species Day at Santa Ana River Lakes

[@4theoutdooradventure]

What a great father must have had a blast spending time with your daughter at the lake catching fish what an experience to remember

[@pokedad.fishes]

100% brother! That’s what it’s all about. All about creating those memories with your kids. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ATFISHING]

Right on Rod nice seeing you again, it's been a minute. Looking forward to your video content. Btw, great bonding time with your daughter. My daughter caught her first trout there.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Heck yah brother! Definitely been a minute. Once I get my tube and everything setup gonna have to join yah in the harbor!

[@ATFISHING]

@@pokedad.fishes absolutely! I've been trying to make it out there once a week so let me know.

[@mannyg9059]

Great father daughter outing. Congratulations, hopefully it took some of the sting off of the high entrance fee at the Santa Ana River ponds. Try Irvine Lake when the water recedes a bit. The fish are twice the size, and the price total to fish there is only FIVE DOLLARS ; and no fishing license is required ever. Oh yes before I forget, Irvine Lake is a REAL lake and not a garbage filled mud pond. Thanks for posting.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thanks brother! Yup nothing like that family time on the water! Yeah it’s painful getting a skunk out at SARL. Still better than any day at the office. Lol. I definitely want to head out to Irvine Lake. Haven’t been out there in ages.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thank you brother!

[@acuaventurapesca]

nice to greet you friend nice video with your little princess. and good information on which bait worked for you. thanks

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thanks you so much brother! Appreciate the kind words! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@richardbradford7104]

I’ll be looking out for you next time I go , I suck at fishing 😂

[@pokedad.fishes]

Lol! Fishing Santa Ana River Lakes can be rough at times. I've definitely made my "donation" to that lake several times.

[@eddieruss757]

The lite line was probably allowing the crawler to stay above the weeds. That’s why I inflate the crawlers for trout and tilapia and works for cats . Good job 👏

[@pokedad.fishes]

Eddie brother! That makes total sense. Those weeds are growing super thick right now. Thanks for the support and insight Brother!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@heartsnails1997]

Nice video bro keep them coming

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thank you so much! Definitely will keep the content coming! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@TheMarriott61]

What circle hook you use? I think my friend and i fished next to you.last saturday when you were slaying those talapia! Appreciate the worms! 🙏

[@pokedad.fishes]

Ayyyeeee! Yeah man! It was good fishing with you. Still working on that video. Turned a slow day into a fun day. haha. I used 1/0 Lightwire Circle Hooks when I am cat fishing. Seems to be the perfect size and even worked for some tilapia in this video.

[@noedelatorre6597]

Good job men nice fishing

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thank you brother!

[@007pisal]

How much to get in the lake? What months is best to catch fish? Is this a private lake? Cool vid👍

[@fabioshirinyans724]

Hey great video. Good catches! You had lots of action. I am going to go for my first time and I wanted to see if there are any tips to catch tilapia or catfish. Like the types of baits to use and stuff.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Fabio brother thank you. If you want the possibility of tilapia and catfish, nightcrawlers would be your best bet. I was using garlic flavored marshmallows and nightcrawlers. The marshmallow for the scent and to float the night crawler. Fishing has been a little harder lately with all the algae growing around.

[@fabioshirinyans724]

@@pokedad.fishes thank you

[@smahiz]

you love to see it

[@ckcc1209]

How do they charge? Just the entrance fee or plus each fish you catch?

[@pokedad.fishes]

They charge at the entrance. Entrance has a 5 fish limit. 🤙🏼

[@snailtrails7453]

Have y’all ever done the over night camping, I’ve got a 11 year old and 2 year old that I would love to get out there for a camping trip.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Yup! Haven’t taken my kids but I’ve camped there when I was younger and it was fun. Campfire and fishing. Loved it. Gonna take my kids sometime sooon.

[@MayoxP]

Been out there and have been skunked 4 times hurts even more because it cost a lot to get in lol. What part of the lake is that ? Going to need to give it another shot just seen the other video and need to see if i can atleast land one !

[@pokedad.fishes]

I hear yah. It does cost a decent amount for admission. I prefer fishing the smaller lake (Chris' Pond). You'll get em!!

[@MayoxP]

@@pokedad.fishes thanks man going to try the worms and nightcrawler had been trying shrimp this whole time ! All keep up the great content really helps out to see what works and does not work .

[@pokedad.fishes]

@@MayoxP Thank you brother. You'll get em. I'll be out there this Friday for another round and may do a couple videos on tips for rigging and setups, etc.

[@MayoxP]

@@pokedad.fishes ill be on the look out for that video . I use the standard carolina rig.

[@MayoxP]

@@pokedad.fishes also been looking around online to see where i can get some meal worms and nightcrawlers have not been able to find anything . Where do you buy them ?

[@juliangonzalez5946]

You can’t catch and release there
