[fsg_gallery id=”1″] I put in a full day at the lake today–about ten hours. The wind finally died down on the lake and crowds were out being the 4th of July Weekend. It was a wierd and crazy sight to see jet skis, waterskiers, and swimers outnumbering fisherman on the lake. I launched and…
I was surprised to see how many hits my silly fishing blog video –UFO Spotted over San Luis Reservoir–received in 5 days. A whopping 1500 hits. Someone actually downloaded it , re edited the fishing out of it and and reposted just the UFO part! When I pulled into the boat launch and spotted the object in the sky, it…
I knew in my gut today would be different at the lake. The Solonar tables showed a major period from 6 to noon, the cows were feeding in the grass on the way up. It was going to be epic. the first weird thing I noticed as I pulled over the rise and caught my…
When the Alarm went off at 6:00AM last Monday, I woke up to the realization that I hadn’t bought a 2012 fishing license and went back to bed. I remember forgetting to buy a license and getting a ticket while trout fishing on Putah Creek 35 years ago on January 2nd. It cost me…

Summer is over and I wish I fished more this year. In retrospect, one of the best days I had was not catching one fish–the day I spent at the Palmer Ranch in Alberta fishing for large cruising fish in shallow ponds. The epiphany of the day was , “I think I need a small compact expandable net…
It seems so familair. I have never returned to Christmas Island in Kirabati on two consecutive years. Last year we were told, “You dont want to come to Christmas Island right after the full moon because the fishing is too easy and the fish are too big.” Personally, I like easy and big and so…
Whats better than taking your son out of school to go fishing in Mexico for a week? Nuthin’. This mid school year expedition took place near Mazatlan at a lake called El Salto, home of the next world record largemouth bass. This trip was special in that my cousin Wayne and my Uncle Yun were…
Snow in April! We packed for heat and fished in rain and snow. Mark and I took a trip to the Bidwell Ponds in Lasson County to excersize some trout over spring break. The high point of the trip was when I accidentally lit my self on fire priming the carburator of our motorhome…
