My Latest Expedentures (as of 1/3)

   I have not done anything big lately, just a couple little trips here and there. Here is the rundown: 

Lake Poway 

    I wen't to lake poway on the opening weekend, not expecting to catch anything because most of the fish had hit the water dead upon stocking, due to a faulty aerator in one of Chalk Mound's trucks. 

This is all you need to know

I was right and the fishing was not very good at all. I saw two trout at the fishing float, one with a minijig stuck in his mouth, and one bass. They refused to bite. North shore-zip. Half Moon Cove-zip. 

Lake Miramar 

   I have been going to lake Miramar a lot lately, mostly to get skunked. I did once however, get lucky and was able to fish the day after the dfg stocked 700lbs of 10-15 inch trout. Although small, I was still grateful for them.

 

The fish would come by in schools, only staying for 2 minutes at most. They would hit anything and everything. I caught my first on a pink powernymph. I got tons of bites, but then I decided to switch up to a small gold Kastmaster, where I caught my second. I decided to keep him in the net so I could keep fishing because I knew that I would only catch fish when the school came by. He then slipped out of the net and swam off. DOH! After all was said and done, I caught 2, missed another, and received much more bites. 

Arizona 

 

   For new years, me and my family went to Arizona (Glendale). In Arizona, they have community fishing waters which are stocked by the azgfd. They stock every other week, and we wen't on the none stock week (typical). My first lake was Pioneer Pond, which is very new, right next to a park, pretty much a circle, with pretty much uniform structure, and has bad water clarity. After a while of fishing it, it became apparent that all fish were deep, and they would not even hit powerbait. The next lake was Rio Vista, which is a series of ponds, that are much funner to fish than Pioneer. The water had a very strange blueish tint, yet you could still not see that far. The ponds were a lot deeper than I thought, and I realized that all the fish were probably deep as well. I left without getting a bite or even seeing fish. 

Conclusion: Don't leave fish in the net unless you intend to release them.

-Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, (and the fishes of the sea) I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; (D&C section 89:12)
