Is this a beautiful setting or what?
During our Friends and Family Tour, we headed to central California.
Our great friends Kim and Steve have taken up fishing, using only lures, and we had the chance to spend the day with them on Lopez Lake. If you read Beth's previous entry, you will see that we also got to see a Black Bear.
Steve gave me a few lessons in fishing. We took the boat out on the lake first while the Ladies visited on the beach. We trolled around some inlets, casting out to the shore and around some trees at the edge of the water (this is where the fitches like to hang out <LOL>), and even did some shore fishing while the wives were out touring the lake.
So, what were the results???
First, let me say, that I am absolutely hooked (pun intended <LMAO>)
on lure fishing. We had a great time talking and fishing.
While we did not have a lot of luck on the boat, the shore fishing was
a little different. To the left is a picture of the "big" catch I had for the day :o)
Impressive huh???
It was a slow day for fishing, but we had a lot of fun.

Nothing wrong with catching bait! ;)
It's a beautiful place, and it was a lovely day spent with friends.

Two thumbs up on your catch...about the size of the wee one you caught (winks). Sounds like it was an enjoyable outing with beautiful scenery to enhance the enjoyment. (Hugs)Indigo
Very nice !! Yummy too!! Linda in WA
Beautiful area. I was stationed at Travis AFB in the mid 60's and loved the area. BTW, I always said the best part about fishing is not the catching...it's the fishing.

California lakes imported Florida bass years ago and some huge bass have been taken since then. Eight pounders are not uncommon and they've been taken as large as 16 and 17 pounds. That lake looks fantastic.

That is a beautiful lake. The small lake where we go camping is nothing compared to the size of it, but the fishing is good. My SIL recently caught a 24 inch bass. 'On Ya' - ma
... being a 'city cat', I have always thought what it would be like to hang in places like the one in the photo ... so beautiful ... looking out on the lake, I can feel the serenity blowing in off of it ...
... you guys have the best trips ..!
