FOUR YEARS
Fishing was a bust. No fish. No bites. We woke up at 7am and headed out to Safeway to gather picnic items and white trash beer. After that we headed out to Loch Lomond, where I had never been before, and rented a motor boat. It was sooo beautiful. Since it was a friday we had the entire lake to ourselves, save for Ernest and Irene, these two ducks that followed us around the ENTIRE time. Ernest had the bird flu or something too, with this gigantic string of drool hanging from his beak. We explored the whole lake in our slow-but-steady boat, and took some wonderful pictures. It was soo gorgeous, but we were out there to fish and we werent getting a single bite. SO ANNOYING. I guess fish and game didnt stock it this year, so there was nothing. After a few hours of chillin, we decided we wanted to catch a fish and headed out to find somewhere that had them. First stop, Lexington Resevoir. It was a hike that Skylers ankle couldnt take and within one minute we had snagged and lost two lures. No good. So then we headed to the apple store in Los Gatos to get directions to Lake Cunningham in San Jose. Once we got there, we were cranky and hot and sick of being in the car. We climbed out, and were sooo disappointed. Lake Cunningham is pretty much the run off from raging waters. not joking, you can see and hear raging waters from where we were. Not to mention the water is murky, with about 3 in of visibility, and bathwater brown. SOO GROSS, we left right away and decided the last stop would be Seacliff Pier. There were about 60 fishing poles dangling over the edge, and once again, we had a good feeling. NOTHING! I thought I saw a halibut lurking below me, but once i "caught" it, it was just the skin of a Striper someone had fileted and thrown back. We were feeling so down and discouraged! Luckily, after some rest and a shower, we had a wonderful dinner at the Sushi bar at shogun, and saw UP, my favorite movie this year. I LOVED!!! it.
