Fishing Talk / Record Striper
« on: Today at 08:12:08 AM »
 I forgot to mention that right before we got to Lake Skinner last week, someone caught the Record Striper..... 33 Pounds. I was talking with one of the local fisherman that keeps his boat there and fishes the lake on a regular basis, he showed me a pic of the fish. The guy that caught it was in a canoe, can you imagine the sleigh ride ? The fish died and wasn't able to be released but I bet there are a few more Monsters in there, it's a good sized lake.

Myles and I went to check it out, got a shirt and a couple of hats for the kids. After Both Bart Hall Shows and The PCS Show, I have everything I need for now but I must admit it was very tempting to buy more stuff with some of the prices, I just had to tell myself to walk away, ha ha

Outdoor Activities / Bad Pig On Spring Break
« on: April 14, 2024, 08:04:14 PM »
 Max and Myles were on Spring Break all last week so it was a good time to get Bad Pig and The Rig away for 4 days. Tuesday was hook up and pack day. Mongo knew what was up too.



Got to our spot and set up Shop, they wasted no time heading for the lake !




I took off on my bike to find them, I knew they were close


Yep, here they are


They were on the fish and I was glad, I used a rod for a bit and caught a few, then went to check out the other Boat Ramp and other areas too. The mountains we capped with snow still.






Janie came Thursday morning and joined the adventure, The Hearse and Bad Pig need a bath !


More fishing proved to be very productive, they couldn't miss, bass and trout were on the Chew !!






The average was about 40 fish a day and an appetite was worked up after fishing for a few hours so Chicken Kabobs on the BBQ the first night, then Tri-Tip and Ribs went on the Smoker.







Breakfast Burritos in the morning to fuel all the fishing.






The weather was 86 degrees the first 2 days then cooled off and got cloudy but still relaxing. Janie was enjoying the peace and quiet.



In between fishing there was a few things that needed to be done, like cleaning the windows, oh boy !


It was nice to see the water level was up and it was great to check out all the different beaches.







It was non stop catching and we did save a few, Max gutted and cleaned them at the lake.







The bass were feisty and even found a Bluegill in the mix. These trout were jumpers too






Saturday was only in the 60's, layer up and keep fishing !!



After 150+ fish and clouds getting darker, we called it for the weekend. Got back to the rig just as it started to rain. Watched some TV and Sunday morning we packed up and came home. Hookup Baits  (1/16 Oz.) were the hot ticket this trip, they got destroyed and only lasted about 5 fish before having to switch baits.


Hope this is the end of the rain, The Cyclops needs some action now !!

 I wish I knew you Back when I was digging up Carlsbad with my Excavator, we dug up some bones and they shut the job site down for a while to preserve a den of Prehistoric Saber Tooth Tiger fossils. It was pretty cool to see this first hand as the Paleontologist explained the scene to us and described this area as a spot where the tigers brought their kill......bones and skeletons everywhere !  Also found a Whale skeleton that was Millions of years old and watched them load it into a Semi Truck and haul it away piece by piece. Pretty cool Hobby to have if you know what to look for and you obviously do, Bravo and keep searching !

I keep a calendar on my desk and write out all my appointments in the squares for each date, I know it's the old fashioned way since cell phones came along but it is a visual reminder as I sit at my computer first thing in the morning, I hate being late or missing something ! Glad you found the fish, sounds like a nice day even if it was cut short. Cyclops report coming soon.
