Loaded my kayak on the truck and didn't bring much tackle but had rain pants and jacket packed just in case. When I got to
the San Diego river is was clam and actually clear skies for a while. But I could see the dark clouds out east in the distance
heading my way.
I started flippin' a Tokyo rig in the stick-ups and switched over to flippin' a senko. Stupid me...I was daydreaming and a bass
grabbed my senko and took off into the cover and I boned the hook set. That was a bummer! After a bit I went back to the
Tokyo rig trying different trailers and back to a craw trailer. I flipped it under an overhanding tree brand and go my second bite
of the morning and horsed in a bass. Not big, but a fighter. Back to the a senko and my line started heading down the bank and
I landed another bass. The way they fight at the river makes them seem like they are a much bigger fish.
Looking west, it was basically clear skies with a few clouds, but the dark thunderstorm clouds were approaching
fast and I needed to get out of there. Of course I had to get in a few more casts and picked up a smaller bass on the senko
right before I left. So for 2 1/2 hours of fishing I had 4 bites and landed 3 bass. Again, nothing big, but happy I decided to
take a chance and get a few hours of fishing in rather than sitting at home.
Short...but a fat belly
