Back from visiting our friend in Anderson and a fun filled fishing trip on Lake Shasta. I caught my first intentional bass. I have caught some small ones unintentionally while fishing on the Sutter Bypass for catfish. But this weekend I caught my first legal sized honest to gosh bass! After hours on the lake while our friend most excellently powered her father’s bass boat around in awful winds, over white cap waves, and avoided numerous ski boats manned by idiots – we caught bass.
Other trip highlights include a story – the beginning and middle omitted -the end result – me floating off alone – in a bass boat . .. that I could not start.
I did catch the smallest bass:
The best rock of the day:
While on shore we found some great cougar and bear tracks:
Aah – now what I know you all have been waiting for – the picture of my bass.
Ooooh, well done! Drifting in a boat you couldn’t start doesn’t sound fun though. 🙁
You got that right! One would assume that boat wise friends would tie the thing to the shore before leaving 🙂
