Cosumnes River Park--Tuesday the 9th

Just got back from fishing bass in the Cosumnes.   My put-in was the "Cosumnes River Park" which is a parking-lot & launch site owned by the Nature Conservancy.
Get there by taking the TWIN CITIES ROAD exit from I-5 Eastbound....and then just before the RR-tracks go south about 3-milies on Johnson road.    The launch-site there is for kayaks and paddle-craft only.....is about 1/4 mile from their paved parking lot (but there is a paved pathway...v. nice)......so "wheels" are pretty much a must.    Cosumnes in that region is MAXIMUM pretty and great fishing water.    I only caught three small bass (oweing I think, to the fact that the brand new "cutting-edge" stren-type 8-pound-test fishing line I'd just put on my reel did not live up to the "crystal-clear in the water" advertizing on the product.   It was as visible as a chalk-line...!!!...)

You can google Cosumnes River Park.

The beauty and variety of the place warrent the 100-mile (from Berkeley) one-way mileage.    It is just very nice.

No Pitchers......Ah yes.....

Well........and I even bought myself a Pentax Optio W-30 waterproof digital.

(Good for 30-minutes immersion at 10-feet-of-depth...)...
((I figure that if a kayaker uses that warranty right up to the limit...???...the only witness in a warranty-collection-proceeding...."Your Honor, I never got anywhere near as deep as 10-feet and I assert that I was never down for longer than 25-minutes..."....won't (you know) be available to testify.))

But anyway, like I said the three fish I caught were "small".......they were SMALL.
Like 7-inches for one, and 8-inches maybe for another....and the third, well my judgment of it was that it was pretty close-but-just-shy of 12-inches-legal and I didn't have my tape with me so I let him/her go.

Now...I know you NCK'ers are a very hard-core serious-minded bunch but ....but...but...you don't really take pitchers of y'er throw-backs do you....???.....

Besides seeing pics of fish, we all like seeing places where we've never fished before...well...at least I do

Me too.     And on top of that there are many of us who enjoy pics that tell a story or show the journey you went on.  It's basically taken the place of watching a sit-com or something for me...  I NEED yak-fishing adventure stories!   

Abking - if you want to read the BEST kayak fishing adventures, see Howard Mckim's post in Jim Sammons site (kayak4fish).....

here's a few.....(wish Howard had more pics on his reports)
