Dang, you set up quite a campsite for a solo trip. I'm going to have to tag along one of these trips. Shoulda hit you up for some dads for my pond

Great report as always.

We are heading up to Silver Lake for 2 days and then down to Convict lake for a couple of days. Really looking forward to the trip. It will be the first trip up there that I will have a kayak to fish from. The long johns will be put to good use I am sure. Thanks for the inspirational pictures!

Had a perfect first trip.
It’s surprisingly busy up here for post Labor Day.

I also advise rigging rope/floats to your traps *before* going out on the water, or at least before adding weights. Ended up sacrificing one to the gods

That’s camp spot looks familiar if it was Gull, was the first spot as you turn n make a right? Last camp entrance on the way to Silver?
