So I bought this new t-shirt called “talk to the butt”. I saw it on facebook from the east bay rabbit society. I think it is pretty cool, and fun. Just my way of saying “don’t talk to me” .
So in order to fish in the bay, you have to get the following items. A sport fishing license, then you get a fishing permit for lake chabot, and either your own fishing rod or rent one (Lake Chabot) has rentals.
I decided to just go online and buy my own rod for around 40 dollars. Since I never had a rod before, I didn’t know what to expect when I got. So when I got a rod that was broken at the tip, I didn’t realize that it was broken. Thanks to the internet, and youtube. I was able to figure out how to fix the fishing pole, and learn to spool a reel, while casting.
On saturday, we all got out to Lake Chabot around 9am. Which is not a good time to go fishing because all the fish will most likely have fishing eating, and are hanging at the bottom of the lake. However, we tried for 3 hours to catch something, and all we got was a little fish from derrick.
As they went to bbq the food, I went to catfish landing and tried to change my luck. I met a couple other guys there that were trying to catch fish too! They told me they had been fishing since 6am, and had caught nothing.
We had planned for a lot of food, in case we didn’t catch any fish. So we had a lot of food. Then to finish off the night, I spent my day just relaxing.
What do I think about fishing? I think it kind of sucks. Well at a lake it mostly sucks if you don’t go at the right time. However, since I am very competitive. I will try to catch something at Quarry Lakes.
