For this weeks 'Show Us Your California' contest by @socalsteemit I take you to one of my favorite places to fish...

Silverwood Lake!!

On this particular trip to Silverwood Lake I was joined by fellow SoCal Steemians @mattlovell, @creationofcare, and @narwhalz0111! We decided to try fishing the north eastern side of the lake. So we drove out forest route 2N33 about a mile or so and found some great spots to hike down to the lake and try some fishing!

I was trying for Catfish using some pork liver as bait. Matt and Cat were mainly fishing for bass. @narwhalz0111 kept the dogs occupied hiking around the shore. I got totally skunked. Matt caught a few really small Bass. But we all still had lots of fun. And it's always great to just get out and enjoy hanging out by the lake. And to top it all off as we were getting ready to leave we got a killer sunset over the far end of the lake!!

Passerby: "Fishing?" Me: "No, drowning worms." Beautiful place to drown them though.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Haha! Yep, honestly the fish are just an excuse to go enjoy some time at the lake.

This is like "de ja vu" or how ever they say that in French, but I could have sworn I read upVoted and commented on this post before. Any way, great place to relax and enjoy the day from what I see and read. Thanks for sharing the hike and fishing.

Haha! Ya I get Deja Vu sometimes too. I'll be doing something and thinking "didn't I do this already?". Thanks for the support @sultnpapper!

You are double welcome Derek.

What a beautiful place!! Glad you all got to hike together. Now, where are your hiking companions posts? 🤪

Ya, Silverwood is beautiful. And for us it's a fairly short drive. Matt and Cat are on their canoeing trip on the Colorado river so we won't get to see any posts from them until they get back from there.

That is right!! I forgot. They are going to have so much fun!!

I really enjoyed exploring this side of the lake with Derek and hearing all of his fisherman yarns hehe!!!

Mrs. Paul's called.. they're interested in buying that fish stick

Haha! Ya, they were all fish sticks this time. I'm gonna go back in a few days though. I still got a bunch of bait. Hopefully I'll have better luck. I've caught a bunch of nice Catfish there before. You gotta get your bait sitting way out deep and then just be patient. Here's a couple Cats from a trip up there a few years ago.
