Personal Narrative: A Day At The Lake

What interesting about these professional charters is that they guide and take you across to some excellent water areas, where the best fishes gather, and making way for a grand catch opportunity. Most charters guarantee that you get a catch or no money, so there is going to be no disappointment when you think you didn't get what you want. They also offer the chance to catch a variety of fish such as halibut, Red Snapper, Salmon, Ling Cod, Rock fish and much more. All equipments and gears necessary for your favorite activity are also available with the charter.

While we sat in our rambling tan and yellow cabin among the trees at 416 Spencer Falls Lane at Big Bear Lake, we watched the gloomy rain fall all morning long. Finally, the storm passed and the dark gray clouds passed over, the sun shone brightly on the wet grass. Yes, the day soon was as pleasant as any other august day, of course we knew it was frequently the case with a warm summer rain. This time, however, the rain had swelled the river washed away our small wooded bridge. Elaine my youngest sister sat beside the washed out bridge, she was so unhappy because it was loss. It was then that a shiny blue convertible drove up beside her, the four of us, our names are: William, Martina, Ella and David, watched as the car approached, it was around

If you decide to cast your rod on the flats, you can expect to catch your fair share of bonefish. If you prefer fishing on the channel, chances are that you will catch some snapper, Spanish mackerel, and snook. Other areas of the park are known for their abundance of Caribbean spiny lobster and stone crabs when they are in season. All fishers at this park must adhere to state rules and regulations regarding size, number method of capture, and season.

Locating bass can sometimes prove to be a futile attempt leaving one to wonder, where did they all go? During one such outing at Shakamak State Park located in Jasonville Indiana. I found myself searching shallow and deep, shade and sun, grass and rock, dead-falls and standing timber for any bass willing to take the bait. I had decided that the bass just were not in a feeding mood but I was. I eased into a cove and pondered my predicament over a cold drink and turkey sandwich. I had searched every possible hiding spots in that lake and wondered what it would take to salvage the day after such a long trip to enjoy some of the great bass fishing Shakamak State Park has to offer.

Steve and I dove off the side and slid to a painful stop on the edge of the flat as the litter, now free of our extra weight, sailed majestically into space. The entire untidy mess tumbled end over end and spread pots, frying pans, rifles, fish poles, axes and a hundred other pieces of gear all over the side of the slope when it returned to earth. It was apparently the funniest thing I had ever seen because I couldn't stop my nervous laughter as I lay there scraped and bleeding. Steve's sense of humor mirrored mine and we sat there laughing like the two fools we

At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.

There are many types of fish that you can catch here throughout the year. Some of these species include amberjack, Pacific sailfish, Cubersnapper, roosterfish, grouper, Pacific Barracuda, and Sierra mackerel.

We ran drunkenly with the litter over the uneven ground trying to outrun the bloodsucking horde; pushing, shoving and cursing it over the tree trunks and rocks that blocked our way, we arrived at the upper trailhead, spent. We set the hated thing down and fell on the ground to catch our breath before tackling the last mile down and around the ski slopes on the rough service road we hadn't used coming up. Once again, there we were, about to tackle the longest part of the carry (we quit calling it a hike a half hour before) in the heat of the day. Gaaaaak!

This lake is known for being a fly fisherman’s dream! With the excellent sight fishing and shallow location for the fish, it’s no wonder that 20 to 30 pound pike can be caught here year round.

During the “busy” months, you will find all sorts of boaters, explorers, tourists, and fishermen in the area. The fishing includes all sizes of large and small mouth bass, brown trout, rainbow trout, catfish, salmon, and a variety of pan fish that inhabit the lake and the springs running into it, as well as the infamous Nantahala River.

Whether you are only in Sarasota for a short visit, you are planning to stay for a while, or Sarasota is home, one place you do not want to miss is Owen’s Fish Camp. We are a place that really celebrates the joys of Southern living. Whether you want to sit outside, listening to friends playing music while you enjoy some great pecan pie and freshly caught fish or you want to enjoy a great conversation with friends inside while you have a plate of shrimp and grits with smoked sausage, Owen’s Fish Camp is the place to be.

My heart was thumping heavily, as the bus took a turn towards the mountains. I didn’t know why I had agreed, but it was too late to turn back.

In Conclusion when you go fishing out on a river or lake remember to bring the right fishing equipment. Stink bait works best on catfish if that's what you're going to catch. But if you're going for bass ten frog poppers or flys work best. Carp like shrimp dipped in tobacco if you're fishing for carp.Now that you know what to use and make sure you have the right gear have a nice time fishing the next time you

I remember a time in my life not too long ago when my family and I went white water rafting for the first time. We had been spending some of our summer vacation at a cabin in the Smokey Mountains, close to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The next day we would experience feelings of exhilarating excitement, with a sense of suspense and anticipation as we rafted down the Nantahala River.

The water beats at the bank feel gently, and resides carefully to avoid over soaking it. The air is fresh and overwhelming with cool gushes of wind blowing past, provoking the trees to yawn and some times sleep. It was a lovely Valentine day and perfect for a picnic at Lake Lavon.
