Nice pics fellas.
Striper is on my to do list.
In a good year, I can get out about 120 days per year.
Not all day long trips, but it helps living a five minute walk to Puget Sound and short drives to other beaches after work.
Haven’t out nearly as much this year do to family health issues and trying to clean out and sell a house with Covid going on.
Beach coho sucked ass this year but there are a lot of nice searun cutts around so far this fall.

Where's the Stripper invite? What the chit Arvid!!!
I usually spend 50 - 75+ days a year in the woods all up. Maybe another 25 - 40 or so fishing & crabbing. Each year is a bit different depending on what I feel like doing. I can pretty much, within moderate reason, fish or hunt locally whenever I want.
I used to spend 100+ days only fishing not too long ago. Hunting has taken major priority now on all fronts.
I could literally do something hunting related 24/7 - 365 these days and it always used to be about fishing.

SF I fished Kings on the Sacremento River a few years back. We were idling through one hole and I spotted a fish in about 6-8' of water, the odd part was the fish was in the 50-60lb club imho and I thought it was a king.. Turned out it was a friggen striper! Never could get him to go on anything but I pitched the kitchen sink at him... Keith

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

This comment wasn't necessary at all - especially considering all the torment Jaek has had to deal with from me this fall. I don't appreciate it at all. I struggle sometimes and I don't need a reminder from you. The weed has nothing to do with it, either. lol

Avid needs to use smaller plugs so those fish look bigger.

Avid needs to use smaller plugs so those fish look bigger. Those are 6 and 7 and a half inch plugs. The fish crush it. So fun! We get a lot of schoolie stripers here ,the larger ones are in summer,and more solitary. I like to time my cast right behind a cresting wave. Often times they hit when the plug hits the water. Makes my heart rate go up lol.

Arvid, I remember my best day bass and bluegill fishing in a farm pond in the Sierra foothills. Using a Mepps, I probably;y C&R'd at least 100 bass; had 10 on 10 casts. Anyway, my goal was to catch a bass on a topwater plug, because that is how "real bass fishermen fish". Tied on a Hula Popper and as I prepared tp cast my Dad warned me "Be ready. They might hit right when it lands." Yeah, sure. Cast sails out, comes down near a stob and about 6" from the surface Willie Mays Bass hits it. It never got down to the pond. I missed him but did catch one later. Someday on a level wind.

I fish pretty much whenever I want these past 4 years, except for the Covid shutdown. Had a pretty poor season on summer steelhead again this year, and couldn't travel to B.C. so no Dean River hotties. The steelhead doldrums and my general malaise with WDFW management motivated me to make 3 fishing trips to Montana this year. And that could become a habit. Then came health issues with my mom, who turned 96 two weeks ago, so I haven't been fishing in almost a month now except for a cold azz day on the Cowlitz a couple weeks back. If I needed pics of fish, I'd be totally up sh!t creek. I think I took a total of 2 pictures of trout this year and no steelhead. One smallish 7# summer run was into the backing noteworthy, but no photo. Maybe I'm jaded; I've seen a few and have enough photos to help me remember what a fish looks like when I get old and senile. Ain't that the truth... Keith

I missed him but did catch one later. Someday on a level wind. Too cool. I fish every spring for white bass in Nacimiento Reservoir. In wet years I bet I could land 200 of those things in a day! Last spring I landed over 40 in a few hours,and it was slow. I know ditch pickles get a bad rap here,but I like fishing the spring spotted bass on ultralight tackle. Fun stuff!

It was an interesting pond. Cast and retrieve and it was bass. Cast, count to 10, retrieve, and get 8-10" bluegill. All evening.
One of my wishes is to go back to Land Park in Sacramento and toss some flies on my 1wt for Green Sunfish and Bluegill.

Some of my fondest memories of growing up involved crushing local warm water ponds back in the midwest. Never really needed much more than a sinple Mr. Twister grub or a small floating Rapala. Maybe some bait for dinner cats every now and again. Endless fish it seemed. Some real dandies in the mix. Some girls and beers too and now that I think of it, the girls and beers were the best part.

I have a private golf course pond I fish rarely. A well presented weightless brush hog or berkeley chigger craw has landed bass to 6 pounds. I have a feeling there's a 10 pounder in that upper pond we fish,my friend Brian and I have hooked a couple of fish that we never saw.
