I haven't posted over here much, but I did do a fair bit of fishing during 2001. Most of my trips were flyfishing trips to the Kern River. I managed a nice flyfishing trip for bass with small surface poppers on Lake Success during Spring. I also had three nice trips down to Redondo Beach/Kings Harbor for bonito. All in all 2001 was a nice fishing year for me. Even though I caught fish on every trip, I took none home. All were released to be caught again.

Since I'm based in Bakersfield, I haven't had much ocean fishing opportunity but I'm going to try some surf-fishing during 2002. It will be my first attempt at surf-fishing. I've also been promised by a friend that he'll take me over to the Morro Bay/Cayucos area for some night-time shark fishing from the piers. This will also be a first for me. Sounds like fun.
