Wanted to avoid the seasonal crowds in the boulder basin and headed north. Way north accessed the park via the valley of fire hwy.
Made my way down the dirt road and parked by 11am. I was horrified at all the campers and people along the shoreline. I thought maybe with high gas prices it would be a ghost town I thought wrong.
Began to unpack my tube then realized I forgot the adapter to the pump there was no way to get'er pumped up.Right then and there I thought Mission Failed !!!
Didn't have any treats for the kitty's so I casted the shoreline with lures. I was working a curly tail grub fairly shallow then boom a dink striper wanted to play. I landed her, snapped a pic, told her she needed to gain weight then set her free.
Continued to work the grub for about another half mile of shoreline then called it quits when I started to get hungry. Had fun just wish I could of got the tube out. It was also hot as hell with a slight wind. Until next time.
