I get to visit some beautiful locations. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Let's see em!

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Baja, California.  Specifically San Jose del Cabo Sur.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

We live in the California Sierra Nevada mountains at 4500'.

The Sierra Nevada range is about 450 miles from North to South, and about 90 miles from East to West.

Higher up is our backyard —- with over 4000 lakes.

I have been to maybe 125 of them over nearly 60 years.

This year, I hope to add a dozen new ones, and maybe visit some previous ones.

Fishing used to be my reason (excuse) for going to these remote lakes ranging from 5600' to 11,000'.  Over the last 15 years, I realized that I didn't need a reason to go to these lakes —- I just needed to do it.

Corny, but true.

A couple of my favorites up in the Sierra. 

And now we begin the sacred ritual of pretending to be patient while secretly hoping Wayne drops those legendary photos any second.   ;D
I fish because the voices in my head tell me to.

Yeah. Lived up in Princeville. Unknown exactly how he died. 86 yrs. old. Looked younger than I do.

I have so many photo memories of the places I used to fish the past 50 years, all at Cape Point the bottom end of S Africa.
We moved away from there 5 month ago and have not yet settled in to a completely new way of fishing, but plan to start very soon.

The first two photos are from the same spot, different time and narrower focus.

3 rd photo is from a spot 3 miles away and the fishing ledge is shown, about 25 mt above the water.    Had some of my most exiting fishing there, but as fear of heights got a grip on me I stopped going there from around 2005 onward.
I will add another photo to put a better perspective of the high ledge!   I marked the high spot we fish from, if you look very carefully, I removed the obvious features of a mate who just rope gaffed a fish, you can see his rope going all the way to the top and the small Yellowtail just of his hands.

Some stunning photos above, the USA is a beautiful country!
