We all get to take some time off, and one of the things I love to do is FISH!  Now, we all know that all fisherman lies start with "You will never believe this, but that fish was THIS BIG" Well, I am not showing you the picture of the fish I was catching, because the bass were as small as crappie...  And no matter HOW I angled the camera, they were still small...  (I can imagine Michael Scott commenting on that, and making me laugh in the process...). I was in Stockton, California fishing off of a dock before we powered up the delta to Ski Beach.  The actual place was Windmill Cove, off of the deep water channel leading into Stockton. Heading up to Ski Beach. I hope everyone has a great day!   08/11/2010
