Kaweah River / Kaweah Lake Mouth
8) My Family and I had a great trip up north to see the Sequoias and the Kaweah River / Kaweah Lake Mouth. When we finally made it up there I had to check out the slick rock area. I got to go down to the rivers edge with my Snot Rocket Litl Ripper Pole. The Family eventually followed me down there. I was looking for little pools and my Dad eventually pointed me to go between these to willow trees. I flipped out the Snot Rocket about 10 feet and let it drift in the current and come back under the willows. On the 5th cast I got hit!!!! :D Did this in 30 minutes
This was my first fish on a Lip Ripper Product, my first fish out of a river, my first BASS outside of a heavily stocked pond, and my first fish on the rod and reel I was using. The 13 1/2 inch Bass was released.
The next day after seeing the Sequoias we went down to the river around 4:30 pm and set up in calm water to catch a few fish. I caught the first trout> a 10 inch trout on Gulp!. The fish fought very different then alot of fish I have caught. It even jumped out of the water on to the shoreline when we were going to net it!! Then a little while later my dad caught his first bass out of the river! I rigged up a Nightcrawler/ Powerbait Combo and the bass took it. Then Heidi (My Sister) was next. I casted out a pole and right when the the Gulp! Bait hit the water a fish ate it!!! I set the hook and Heidi reeled in a nice 13 inch Trout!! We fished for a little over two hours. We missed about 4 bites.
Now on Wednesday it was pure fishing.
I went down with my Chartruese Lip Ripperz Trout Worms to try for the Trout and Bass and sure enough I caught yet another nice bass (15 inches). This bass was taken a few holes up in quick moving water. My sister then decided to go with my mom to a spot further down the shoreline. Eventually we make it down to her spot and we find out that she has a Trout! She had just landed it on Rainbow Powerbait in Nitro Gravy. She caught it all by herself! Congrats! :)
I stayed for a few hours then I decided that I was hiking back to my spot where I had caught the bass. All I took was 4 nightcrawlers, Orange nitro eggs, Lip Ripperz Trout worms, and Needle Nose Pliers. While I am catching fish my Dad and my Sister end up catching nothing.
I took turns between the nightcrawler and nitro egg combo that I used to catch my 2nd 10 inch Trout of the Day and Lip Ripperz Chartruese Worms that I used to catch my second bass of the day estimated at about 13 inches. No Pics of these to fish :x So I got to fish all by myself and had a lot of fun doing that. Those fish were released.
The whole trip was great!!!!!!! 8) :D :D Just thought I would let everyone in on the fishing details :wink:
