Fishing with Mama Rodriguez

So we went fishing (06/14/14) since it was Aaron's last day here and we thought we could use the 5 receipts we saved to redeem for a a free extra 2 hours on top of the minimum we need to pay..
Lake Perris
(small boat)
first 2 hours -> $30
every hour after is $8
On THURSDAYS, first 3 hours -> $30
(fishing pontoon)
first 2 hours -> $85
every hour after is $20
On THURSDAYS, first 3 hours -> $85

But the receipts only work for the small boats so we're using them for next time but we decided to get the fishing pontoon..
All we got was sunburnt and no fish -.-
Note to self: if we're gonna buy nightcrawlers, we either need to keep changing the soil or get them only the night before.. maybe 2 days before.. We bought them on mon/tues originally thinking we were going on thursday but it got pushed to saturday... We think it was because the worms were rotting/smelling because we didn't even get a nibble in the spot we always go to. Also we asked where there were a lot of bites and checked it out but nada.. :/

Plus, I fell off my chair when the waves were kind of getting rough and scratched up my elbow.. AND I lost my rod in the ocean cuz I was trying to steer the boat and totally forgot about my line and yeah... ughh

I'm sooooo tired.. I hope Aaron has a safe flight back to Trinidad! And I hope he has a great summer there because he finally gets to rest after a tough semester at rcc.. I'm gonna miss him :'(

Fishing!

We went fishing at Lake Perris at our favorite spot again. We always ask about other spots and have heard they catch in other areas but our area has never failed us. Today we caught 2 fish to take home and we caught like 4 others but they were too small.. One was a baby :'( All were either large mouth or small mouth bass.

So this is lake perris and we like to fish near the left mountain looking thing. It's actually an island and there's a piece that sticks out and you can fish behind it, in front of it or go a little further down and fish. It's the best place to fish (in our experience). We caught so many fish but had to let many of them go :(

This was the biggest fish we caught! Well Aaron caught it. It was 16 in when we came home to measure it. I swear it looked like it was 18 though..

Btw we were at Walmart on Valley Springs Pkwy the night before and found out they sell live bait as well!! And a bit cheaper. It was 25 nightcrawlers for $5.00 ish. I don't think the fish at Lake perris respond well to fake worms.. or the spoon bait.. or fake frogs.. because we've tried all three and we've only ever caught fish with live worms. Unless we're doing something wrong.. haha
