Well what started as a bad day, ended up turning around. Headed out to Hemet Lake this morning and stopped by Circle K on my way to get some snacks. The clerk told me that a couple other people just stopped by and was on there way to do some fishing as well. Then I started thinking, I hope my spot isn't taken. Got to the lake and guess what? I was about 2 minutes late, my spot was taken. :mad: So, I drove to the last parking spot to get another good spot for me just to see another person getting ready to to head down. :Shocked: In my rush to get to my 2nd spot, I knocked over my hot coco and tripped and fell. :Evil: Not a good way to start the day. After 2 hours of no bites while watching the guys in my spot land a few fish and the guy to my right land a few fish, I decided to try one last spot. First cast out, bam! fish on. :Dancing Banana: Skunk gone, bad feelings gone too. Landed two more fish in the next 30 minutes and called it a day at 10am. I ended up giving my fish to the family that took my 2nd spot.
Temp when I got there:

Two fish were caught on inflated night crawlers, 1 on salmon egg power bait. Don't know the water temp, but I'm guessing cold. There was no wind when I left. Hopefully I can keep the skunk off when I hit Skinner with AmpMan on 01/02/09 to start my new year off right.
