Lake Cuyamaca

Headed up to do some late fall bassin'. Every time I made a cast Bronco would go nuts. I think he wanted to troll for trout. He was much calmer when we were cruising around the lake. Caught a keeper at the end of the day. He cooked up nicely.

BASS WASSUP FROM BARCELONA

Went on 3/4 day out of fishermen's landing. Caught 2 yellowtail, seen some dolphins and whales,Tiffany got skunked and was seasick, but she powered through it and still had fun. All in all, it was a pretty good trip.

ZACH NELSON : KILLING IT.

ASHTON'S ALWAYS ON IT

First Trip Out

 Headed out with about 3 hours sleep under my belt. There's Al in the center setting up for the trip. Before we left he raffled off a sweet rod and reel setup. Guess who was the lucky angler...Turns out that was just the beginning.

 About a 2 hour boat took us to Coronado Islands. That white stuff is not snow, it's bird doo doo!

 The first spot was swarming with birds. A couple got hooked up.

 After a gnarly fight, I scored a nice Yellowtail. It was my first, so ate the heart. No Problem!

With this bad boy, I was in the lead for the jackpot.

Until, I heard someone yell shark. They had to kill it right away. Nice Mako!!! Ended up taking the jackpot. It was the captains call.

Deckhands, filleting up the catch.

 Point Loma. A welcome sight. I was pretty beat.

Fisherman III, hooked it up! Capt. McGriff made sure we were on the spots and the deckhands made sure we landed most our fish.

1st Mate

 Woke up and decided to go fishing, but couldn't make my mind up on where to go. Bronco jumped in the truck as soon as I opened the door. So we headed to the only lake that allowed dogs. Lake Cuyamaca.

 He's sight fishing.

 Trout on the troll.

Bronco's down!

CURT SCHULER AT IT AGAIN

 

Curt has only sent me photos twice. And both times I've been so psyched. Crushing it out in Minnesota.

 

BUBBLE BOI

 

Bubble Boy AKA Sean McCormick has been getting after it on his fly rod!

QUINCY RESERVOIR

 

Lany and I were in Denver for a wedding and got up relatively early to go try out a local lake. And Big 5 opened 2 hours later than their voice message says.

 

Quincy Reservoir.

 

Lany hooked onto one right off the bat. We were seeing fish everywhere and I thought it was on.

 

Boom!

 

I had an old school rod that I borrowed from Lany's Mom. And it broke while casting.

 

I made sure Lany rowed the whole time, so that my arms would stay fresh.

 

Quincy has the state record tiger muskie, we didn't see any and I got skunked for my first time in 2 years...

Ruff Times!

It's been awhile since I've posted any photos. It's not because I haven't been fishing. I went out to Lake Morena for the second time. The first trip I got skunked. This time around reports and conditions looked good, but all I got was disappointment. This is one of two bad boys I hooked up with all day. Notice, my 6 inch worm is almost the same size as this beauty...

SLOW TIMES AT LAKE ISABELLA

I blog while backing up the boat.

My cousin Tommy Moreno mid battle.

 

Victory!

 

Lany's getting pretty cozy captaining the boat.

She wasn't a very motivated fisherwoman though. She was on her phone a lot. In her defense, the fishing was pretty slow up there.

 

I at least snagged one.

 

Who leaves cans in the lake? Really. In one section of the lake there was so much trash.

 

Lany focusing.

 

Tommy if her were capable of gaining weight.

 

Dock gaurd.

 

We went into the Sequoia National Forest to do a little off-roading.

 

Tommy had to take it slow up the hill.

 

Our spot was closed off.

 

GPS wasn't really helping much.

 

We got a little bit going.

 

Lany bounced up and hit her head pretty hard..

 

Tommy looking at our options.

 

POP.

 

Lany and I decided to try float tubing during the super full moon.

 

She put Skittles in her pocket.

 

Pretty crazy moon.

Lany at it (or not at it) again.
