Man I really enjoy this vid.... my wife and kids loved the way your baby is playing with the power baits , great weather and congrats on the fat trout is allways fun to be outdoors with the family. Thanks for sharing your experience 🤙🏾👍🏾🎣🎣

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. Baby Amelia always likes playing with the powerbait, probably because of the bright colors. Definitely always a good time out there with the family. Just waiting for the day the little one is able to reel in her own fish. Going to be an exciting day! 🎣

[@ucrpbds]

Love your content brother! And so happy to see the little one getting so big already! I’ve got my own on the way, and I can’t wait to take him to the Sierra for our own fishing adventures 🙏🏻

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks! We appreciate you watching. Congrats on your little one on the way! Is it your first one? Exciting times ahead thats for sure.

[@ucrpbds]

@@ExploreNaturesCatch yep, he’s our first and we’re so happy 😊

[@worldobserver3515]

Nice. Great scenery.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. The scenery is amazing out there. Perfect place to just kick back, relax and recharge.

[@4acesjackdaniels775]

Awesome video Carey, Christine and Amelia! Great job landing the fatty! Thanks for bringing us along. See you out on the water some day! 👍👍

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching! That big one was a great welcoming gift for our first day of the trip. The mosquitos were the worst i've seen it out there though. We want to get out there at least one more time. See you out there!

[@indymorikawa5178]

Nice video with you and your family enjoying the sierras. My daughter is 20 now, so enjoy the times right now as they grow up quick.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you for watching. Cherishing every moment we can with our little one. She seems to enjoy the outdoors as much as we do. Looking forward to more adventures with our little family.

[@kittenlunchsrt1662]

I personally do not eat fish but I bring it back to my parents. This past weekend I caught trout and dispatched them using the ikejime method. My parents raved about it and said the fish tasted much fresher and lacked any “fishy” taste. I can only think this due from Ikejime. 👍🏻 Alittle mess is worth the fish not suffering 🙏🏻

[@SevenBears1]

Family fun and a five pounder 👍 Last trip 3/4 day boat to Channel Islands.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. How was your fishing trip out to the islands? I've been seeing a lot of big tuna action lately. Makes me want to gear up and get out there.

[@SevenBears1]

@@ExploreNaturesCatch Hi we get limits of rock fish ,lingcod and ocean white fish. I have caught stingrays but no tuna. It's always a good time fishing with friends and coworkers. I'll be fishing the Bishop area next week. We met earlier this year at a frozen Silver Lake.

[@davidmaxwell1821]

I watch your videos every morning. Helps me feel the fishing from the s.f.valley. As usual,Amelia charms the viewer, always enjoy the end of day lunch/dinner segments. You're a natural choreographer.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for watching the videos, we really do appreciate it. We will be back out in the eastern sierra for the opener! Hopefully Amelia is ready to catch her first fish on the next trip out there!

[@joebass517]

Nice to see you guys again, wow toad trout, beautiful family 👍🎣🌲✝️🏔️

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. Haven't been able to get out as much so this trip was extra fun. Hope all is well with you!

[@craftytraveler9238]

Good to see you back in the Sierras. You little girl is do cute and growing up. I did a Cross Country trip this summer and I did catch some blue guill in Missouri, MIchigan and Wisconsin, nothing to brag about.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Glad to be back out there. Amelia is growing and learning so much and I know she had a great time on this trip. That sounds like a fun adventure you went on. I've really been wanting a camper van to do some more exploring. Bluegill are fun to catch too! I've heard they are pretty good eating as well. Hope all else is well!

[@FouseyScenes]

first ever youtube comment- This makes me wanna have a wife and kids Great video

[@davidgiasone2079]

Omg she is holding a fishing pole!!!!!! They grow up so fast.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Yes indeed! One step closer to reeling in her own fish now. She likes to pick up the fish and run around with it after we catch it too. 😆

[@Ajdsworld]

I GIVE IT UP TO YALL FOR THE LONG DRIVE UP THERE WITH THE BABY. I HAVE 3 LITTLE ONES AND ITS HARD WORK

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

It’s a hard time with just one. I could only imagine the struggle with 3!

[@395er]

Last fished the sierras, Virginia lakes. Going back next week.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

How’s the fishing going for you out there?

[@395er]

Fished big Virginia lake on 10-18 and killed it. Lil’ Virginia lake on 10-19, just me and 2 others there. Did well there too. Caught a nice brown, just over 2lbs.

[@rob_008_4]

Love fishing at mammoth the fish are fighters for sure and it’s almost impossible to get skunked there

[@giovannirios2124]

Lake Mary never fails! Always good fishing up in the high Sierras.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Yes indeed! We always make sure to fish lake Mary every trip. 🎣

[@rjolson8695]

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

[@chaunguyen-og3mc]

Good to c u fishing again and ur kid getting big

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Appreciate you watching. Haven't been able to get out as much as I would like but just makes it that much more exciting when we do. Baby Amelia is getting big and active. It's gets tough managing her sometimes because she loves to run around everywhere. Hope all is good with you!

[@JohnnyMuniz]

Great video 👌🏾

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching! Tight lines!

[@arciagmm]

Wow! She is so big! So awesome that you guys are including her in your fishing adventures. Not sure how to word that lol ! I caught a 4.95lb'er on a pink mouse tail a month ago at Mary. Weekend of the baja hurricane. Took me 10+ minutes to get him in. Full tail! Fought so hard. When finally got him in it was hooked on its gill plate. CRAZY! Not sure how it stayed on lol Look forward to more of your videos with your little one fishing 👍 @markiemark6868

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

She's growing quick! I think she had a lot of fun on this trip, she was running around everywhere. Nice fish you caught, this fish also took me over 10 minutes. I was surprised how strong it was. Always appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos. Hope all is going good on your end. See you out on the lake!

[@arciagmm]

@ExploreNaturesCatch Yes, me too! I'd gain a little ground & then it started ripping line. That's a great sound lol 😆 You know you have a good fish . See you out there !🤙

[@misndaainaleighton2947]

The little fisherman’s gonna be baiting her own hook here pretty soon. They sure grow up fast. I know that spot well on Lake Mary. Always producing fish over 5 pounds. Nice to see you folks out!!!!!’ Did you see the local bear there at Mary??

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Hopefully soon she reels in her own fish. Right now she likes to pick up the fish we catch and run around with it. We just bought her a mini rod/reel for the next trip. We sure did run into the local bear. Looks well fed right now too. Hope all is well with you and hope you are getting a lot of fishing in!

[@ef2967]

Look at that little fisherman....shes getting big so fast. So has all the water cleared up already? We were up there beginning of the season and it was hopeless. Currents where raging and all the water looked dirty.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Baby Amelia is growing fast. She's really active right now, always wants to run around everywhere. We fished lake Mary, lake George, mammoth creek, convict, virginia, and silver on this trip. All of those were clear with higher water levels. We were there for the opener and it was a rough one for us. Planning on heading out there again this year?

[@AdrianHernandez-ib7pr]

Nice vid man! Your little girl is growing up quick! If you don’t mind me asking where the first creek is around 1:16 is. If not no worries but keep up the great content. (:

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching the video. The first creek is right next to vons in mammoth.

[@vincenzohhh]

Nice catches man 🤙 what kind of rod and reel set up were you using? Ultralight?

[@alexalvarado_1972]

What is the name of the restaurant where you got the fish tacos?

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Salsa’s taqueria in mammoth lakes. One of the better spots out there so far. Portion size was good.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching, really do appreciate it! Yeah, every time we go fishing, she always takes out the powerbait 😆. Always a good time being out with the family and creating new memories. See you out on the water!
