Concrete Ship @ Seacliff State Beach

I shared with you all about our phenomenal fishing trip at the concrete ship pier during the Memorial Day Weekend camping trip.  Here are pictures to prove it.

Can I squeeze in between you brothers?

Single Hookup.

Double Hookups.

Triple Hookups!

Surfperch @ Sunset Beach

Here are more pictures at Sunset Beach.  A note to remember for next time is to go around 50 feet left of the life guard station, use light test line (8-10 #), sliding 1/2 oz. ball sinker, and 2" motor oil/red grub with a 5-6' leader :-)

Jack smelt preparation - yummy!

Young Master showing JU how it's done.

JU was not prepared, but managed to land two!

That's why he's Young Master!

Memorial Day Weekend @ Sunset Beach

Another fun-filled camping trip at Sunset Beach this year.  We hiked, fished, and ate all weekend long.

Thanks to the Duke from work who suggested that we visit the concrete ship at Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, California.  While there, we ran into our cousin from Vallejo, who decided to go fishing at this pier for the first time.  He gave a Sibiki Rig to the Captain and the rest was history.

Is It Still Winter?

Having an opportunity to take the kids around the mountain for a scouting trip is always fun.  I loaded the Fish Mobile with 6 fishing poles and five kids and left SacTown around 9 AM.  Stopping for a few breaks along the way, we managed to peek into our usual Carson River fishing holes.  Didn't see anyone with fish, so we proceeded further down the road.  Eventually we arrived at Silver Creek and I was able to trick two hold-over rainbows to be my dinner :-)  We left Markleeville through a flurry of snow: whew!  We made it back home safe and sound at 8 PM.
