Last fish is thick!

We missed you!

It didn't work...I recognize that river.....the Mississippi, Amazon, the Nile???? Tijuana River?? That's a fattie....it scares me what that fish might have been eating in that river....

Thanks to the incredible wisdom of our City Lakes leaders, D.K. will be closing this week for the season....and like every other year, it's right when the lake is really heating up!!!

It's too bad the other website had to close. We do need a fishing website with no politics here in SoCal.
