I was out all day from March 11, 2004 until today...
Wow did I have a blast...

On Thursday I fished Machado Lake, my small lake in the city...
Caught 4 LM Bass on a Storm 4" swim bait and a Gitzit tube jig...
Could have caught a lot more on their beds but didn't want to pull them from their beds unless they were big ones...
All four caught averaged 3-4 lbs...

On Friday 3/12/04 I went to Diamond Valley Lake caught 6 LM Bass on drop shot set up...
I had 3 fish break off...
This one was the biggest...

On Saturday 3/13/04 I fished El Dorado Park Lakes...
Caught one LM Bass...
But the best part is my 3 yr old daughter caught about 20 bluegills...
She was so excited...

On Sunday I started to clean up my storage to prepare for my camping trips...

There is the story of what happened...

Wow, what a story! At first, I thought you wrangled him up like the Croc-Hunter.
I have encountered 3 incidents. Never attacked, thank God! Once, I was scouting out some spots at Pyramid Lake. I was walking towards the edge of a roadway & saw a Mohave Green. Wow, beautiful snake! I wish I had a camera. It must had recently shedded it's skin because the colors were so vibrant & shiny new.
Well, as I approached the snake it stared at me, as did I. All I did was slowly walk backwards. The snake did not even rattle it's tail. Odd.
The Mohave Green rattlesnake has venom that is 20 X more toxic than that of the Western Diamondback. The venom attacks the central nervous system. Also causes poor respiratory reactions. Woe! Although, the least aggresive.
