Seccombe Park Success!

-
Seccombe is one of the dirtiest city parks I have ever had the privilege of fishing. It has also been the scene of numerous skunkfests for me, with no bass landed, until this Sunday. Enjoy the results:

Both bass were caught on jigs and both looked like they had gotten in a fight with a cormorant (lot's of scars and split fins). Sunny weather, clear water, and fish on the line. Couldn't ask for a better day at the park.
I have added a new link on the side bar to Bass in the Hood. The owner really knows his stuff when it comes to local bassin' in the greater IE area. Check it out!

The Konica AF3 was a 35mm, rangefinder film camera, which was introduced by Konica in 1984.

Film advance was by means of a single-action rapid lever on the right side of the camera top plate. The AF3 was power...

New SoCal Urban Creek Green Sunfish

Thanks to a sweet tip from a fellow angler, I found a new urban creek to explore. It's actually more of a canal, but hold water year round and is absolutely loaded with chunky green sunfish, up to 12 inches. I lost track of how many scrappy greenies I landed in a short afternoon fishing session at this Inland Empire creek.  Since then, I've returned several times, always landing loads of these sunfish. I've also spotted a couple of turtles, many mosquito fish, and a couple small largemouth, along with the obligatory pile of litter and trash. Urban creek fishing at its finest hmm?

Spent a lot of time this last weekend at the beach, not only trying out my new M20 action camera,but also a couple of fishing products. One was the YOLO Fishing Bite Alarm, and the other a Yoshikawa 7ft collapsible pack rod. The bite alarm reminded me of the old carp bite alarms I used to use, but unfortunately it didn't work as well. The Yoshikawa rod is fantastic, definitely one I'll be using in the future! These are both courtesy of Gearbest, and you can find them here: Yoshikawa travel fishing rod:http://goo.gl/bNivhs Yolo Bite Alarm: http://goo.gl/oHLIm4 Other Gearbest fishing products:
