The first step in planning is to identify the limiting factors. Do you have a certain species of fish you are after? How much time do you have to fish on this outing? Are you working within a certain budget? Answering these three questions will help you identify which trip is right for you. If you are after big game fish or a specific species, you will likely have to go to more remote waters. It will take you longer to get there and the trip will generally be more expensive. The length of deep sea fishing trips range from half a day to ten days. There are also 3/4 day, evening, overnight, and three-day outings. So, it

California Trout Fishing: Owens River

April 27th, 2010 · 8 Comments

Inyo County California- The Owens River stretches 120 miles, originating in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, then flowing through the town of Laws near the old railroad museum. The river is ultimately diverted to supply the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Trout season opened on the 24th and my friends were there to camp and catch some trout. The Highland RV Park in Bishop is nearby this great fishing destination.

Sunglasses

March 7th, 2009 · 7 Comments

There are several reasons to wear polarized sunglasses while fishing. Here are a few…

  • Protect your eyes from the ultraviolet rays of the sun
  • Protect your eyes from flying hooks
  • Prevent the glare of the water
  • See the fish better

Decent sunglasses will be…

  • Shatter proof or impact resistant
  • Have a comfortable nose piece
  • Be fog resistant
  • Are compatible with a strap to keep them from falling off

There are many variations to chose from, but a good pair of shades will heighten your fishing experience.

SoCal Fishing Excursions

January 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment

Who has the best Southern California fishing excursion? I wanna go on it and review the trip on this website. I think it is only fair to make it an overnight or by minimum, full day. I will write a review [with pictures] of the outing.

A great trip would be on a nice boat where getting there is half the fun. No need to worry about rod and reel, bait or tackle. Just people who love being on the open water, hunting for fish.

I am not looking for a handout. A discount would be appreciated, but I expect to pay for my share. With that said, let the offers roll in. Please make yourself known in the comments or if you are shy or are so inclined, email us.

I wanna go fishing!
