Nice Madda - had my first fishing/camping trip this weekend also. 4 days off work, got to the campground on Thursday, set up and went to the lake (Lake Fulmor in Idyllwyld, CA). In a 3 hour session, ended up with 15 fish, 5 keepers. Got up early Friday for a 3 hour morning session, 18 fish, 3 keepers. Took some time to hike a couple of trails with the wife, got back to the lake at 3pm, 12 fish, 4 keepers.
Not a majorly large fish among em, but fun. Went to Lake Hemet on Saturday, had a 5 hour session in a boat (cost me a whole 30 dollars lol....cheap as chips) - 3 bass, 1 bluegill, and a couple of trout - all went back to live another day. Biggest bass was around 11 inches, damn they hit hard - used a plastic lure slow retrieved along the bottom - first one made me jump at how hard it hit.
Fantastic weekend, great company, great fishing, what could possibly be better?
