Fished yesterday with Vortec_Cruiser at a beautiful place he knew on the San Gabriel River in South El Monte. The area was very wild and was a great place for fishing. Too bad it wasn't such a good place for catching as well.

Not wanted to be skunked I drove over to Legg Lakes and found a nice shady spot to lounge around. I was really more interested in keeping cool in the shade that going after the fish. I put out a line for the carp that never came and caught several blue gill and redear on maggots with my second line. Only one was a keeper, so I let her go. No skunkz!

While I was there I saw something new to me. A guy was driving a boat around the lake that looked like a cross between a farm combine and a paddle boat. I guess he was cleaning out vegetation, but I didn't see him come up with any. Here's a picture of the Legg Lake Monster.

It was great fishing with you, Jon. It's too bad the fish weren't biting. I'm glad to see the rest of the day wasn't a bust for you. If I'd had known you were going there, I would have joined you. Next time...
