Day 2 Big Bear lake
 

We spent most of the day playing cards but here is a late carp catch by my youngest son

So I see he's using some lighter gear. Have fun. Tight lines!

He's just a better fisherman than me😛 he was so stoked...complete rod bender for him...all smiles made the trip!

Don't feel bad I hadn't fished for Trout in years and 2 weeks ago I go up to Silver Lake just north of Mammoth and it's like I forgot everything I used to know. I was using light enough poles and reels but the 14lb line was to visible to hook up. I forgot to bring lighter leader line. All the guys catching nice trout were using 4lb line and getting limits and good size fish. Should have bought some 4lb line at the small store to put some leaders on my pole, but Noooh I had to be stubborn and hardly caught any fish because I just though OH they can't be that picky. It pays to ask the locals and use what they tell you. Tight Lines

We didn't pull the trout on our second trip up day #1 but my boys pulled 3 cats out!!! Super cool to see my young ones land the cats on the lake .... http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/30/nesa4emy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/30/6u6yjyvu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/30/u4a8a9e6.jpg
