Fall Riverside County Bass Fishing

I have been fishing a new spot in Riverside County quite often. The weather has been fantastic, but the water clarity has decreased, keeping the bass fishing a challenge.

Little bass, caught on a Yum Dinger.

This tarantula was more than happy to pose for the camera. Hairy, eh?

Blastin' the Fly

When I'm not fishing, I'm probably perusing the myriad of fishing videos on the 'net. Feast your eyes on this awesome YouTube find:

Someday, I'll leave my spinning gear at home and try to learn fly fishing, properly (Top secret: I do have a fly rod, just haven't bothered to use it much). While I love fishing conventional gear, there is something magical about fly fishing. Forget skinny trout, I'll be chasing the fat greenies, throwing topwaters frogs and mice.
P.S.Fishing tomorrow and Sunday. Hooray!

California Bass Lures

Remember that 7lber I caught a few weeks back? I lost the lure I was using and thought I would stock up on a few more. eBay came through for me and I scored on the above lures for about $1 each. They are cheap and ugly, but they'll work. Hooray for Chinese knock-off lures!

Top Pacific Northwest Fishing Forums

Fishing forums keep the fishing itch under control until I can get onto the water. While I'm away from California for the summer, I have been using several of the Pacific Northwest fishing forums, like iFish and WashingtonLakes. I found a sweet article with a summary of some of the better ones for NW anglers on Associated Content, check it here.

I'll be doing a little fishing in Oklahoma in the next few days, so the blog might go quiet (hopefully I'll be able to update it from there). Tight lines!
