| Our stop before our destination :-) |
So the last Fishing Friday, the 8th of August, I decided to head up to Caples Lake to a spot behind the dam. I haven't fished at this location for at least 5 years....
The crew and I got there around 10:30 AM and lobbed out about six poles with Berkley power eggs. We waited about an hour and not one fish nibbled.

I walked to my left and spoke to a fisherman that was there before we arrived. He didn't get a bite either. Came to find out, the fisherman is from the same town as I. However, I finally found a fisherman with more super powers than I. He left SacTown at 3:00 AM to get to the lake by Dark Thirty!!! That is so very awesome! We exchanged information and cell numbers for future fishing trip, then I proceeded to hike along the shore with a 1/16 Panther Martin, behind a 2-foot leader, with an 1/4 oz. sliding sinker.
"Watch the poles," I instructed the kids.

About a mile in and a lot of casts, but no bite, surrounded by all the beauty, it was very difficult to head back.... But head back, I did.
I was greeted by the children around 2 PM with an interesting story of the one tiny trout on the stringer. It mounted to no one was watching the line :-) The Fishing Ninja was credited with the safe, by walking out to the stump where the fish wrapped itself.

| I haven't caught a fish all year :-( |
That's it for now.... Tight lines.
