Lost Lake in Cajon Pass Fishing

Image
Recently, I fished Lost Lake in the Cajon Pass, near Highway 215 in California. This little sag lake, in a fault line, is very, very deep. It is spring fed and has crystal clear water.   Video The fish were very wary and shoreline access was limited. However, between my friend and I, we managed to land 3 largemouth and one bluegill. It's a very odd lake that feels out of place amidst the dry scrub brush and nettles.

Silverwood Striped Bass Fall Fishing

Catching stripers is always fun. Catching them on topwaters while they are actively feeding is the best! Check out my most recent video from Silverwood Reservoir in California for an evening of striper fishing! (Also, my apologies-it's been a little while since I've posted!)

California Desert Wild Rainbow Trout

  New spot to explore and fish in the Southern California mountains. Took a long, long time to hike there. Wild trout were plentiful, but very easily frightened. Beautiful, rough scenery. Enjoy!

Blackbird Products ACG50 POV Sunglasses Action Camera

Image
  Polarized sunglasses for fishing are a must-have, especially when targeting spooky fish in gin-clear water on a sunny day. Blackbird Products have released a neat polarized sunglasses that has a camera built into it. Filming at 720p and 1440p, this little camera/glasses combo is a fun set when on the water. Image quality is acceptable, not as sharp or vivid as their MAC50 camera but still quite decent. Here are a few videos I've shot with the camera, one while fishing at a private bass pond, and another at the West Fork San Gabriel. You'll notice the wide-angle view (two thumbs up!) in the videos.  Remember, these glasses are pretty hefty, but they sit on the face comfortably for several hours of use. They aren't waterproof though, so please don't try any underwater fish release shots with them! Perhaps the most frustrating feature is the on/off switch, as sometimes it is hard to choose between recording, taking a photo, or shutting off the camera. Fortunately, there ...
