My son is in the marines so we have to wait for his vacation,probably June. Love the videos,fishing,meaty dinner, sleepy participants. My son and I were caught in a downpour at Rush creek. Bad day fishing better than good day at work.

[@tats4ever]

Love your videos! Ilived in Mammoth lakes for over 10 years. Miss the fishing 🎣 It’s so great your teaching your daughter to love fishing too!

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you for watching! Must have been nice to live there with all the lakes so close by. I’m looking forward to the day baby Amelia reels in her first fish. We just bought her a small 3ft pole so hopefully soon! 🎣

[@leroymontano9080]

Awesome family time , blessings

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. 🎣

[@davidmaxwell1821]

Comforting watching a family fish together. Makes me want to get my marine corps son back up there. We were there mostly fishing rush creek. Amelia getting bigger!

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Appreciation you watching. Yes, it’s always a great time being out there with the family. Building memories and enjoying the outdoors together. Amelia is definitely growing fast and getting more active. She seems to like it out there too. Are you going to the opener next year?

[@albertgallardo6522]

I always watch to the end I love all of the videos

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you Albert, appreciate you watching the videos and sticking to the end. Any fishing plans for you soon?

[@craftytraveler9238]

my favorite recipe for trout is to soak them in olive oil and soy sauce for about 1hr before cooking ( keep in refrigerator when soaking) then grill them. yum. My favorite lure color is gold.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Hi! Grilled trout sounds good right about now 😋. Love the gold color for lures as well. It’s usually the first color I throw out for my kastmasters. 🎣

[@robertketchum6145]

always like your videos

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you, appreciate you watching. 🎣

[@tonyt9603]

awesome video like always. My favorite lure is the silver blue fox lure

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you for watching! I have yet to try a blue fox lure but i'll give that one a try.

[@alfredguerrero2611]

Another great video, reminds me of when my kids were younger, now in 20’s. Beautiful family you have. God bless you all

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you for watching. Making as many memories as we can while she’s still small. She can look back at these videos and see all the adventures she went on! God bless you and your family as well!

[@johnnishio4435]

Great to see you and your family and friends having fun up there, Cary. Reminds me of my kids on fishing trips to the same places, 40 years ago. My son and I are going up on an overnighter fishing trip to Bishop area this weekend. We'll try fishing the valley, the sand traps, Bishop Canal and Big Pine Canal, and the Lower Owens. We've never done a whole trip just fishing the lowlands. Might take a quick drive up the mountain on Sunday to see the fall colors, before heading home. I want to get a rack of ribs from Copper Top BBQ in Big Pine on the way home. Hoping to catch a few fish to freeze and have for dinner this winter. Won't be long before Amelia will be fishing with you guys, and you can go more often!

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching! That sounds like it's going to be a fun trip. Let us know how it goes. We are thinking about going up one last time before the season ends. I've always wanted to try copper top but we always head up early in the morning to mammoth and they aren't open yet. Fall colors are always amazing out there. I've been seeing a lot of recent pictures from out there and it makes me want to go. Amelia is almost ready to reel in that fish. I bought her a small 3ft rod and slowly showing her how to reel in. Hopefully she brings in her first fish soon! Good luck on your trip and safe travels!

[@johnnishio4435]

We've never tried Copper Top either, always drove past it going both ways. They were declared the best BBQ restaurant in the US in 2016 by Yelp, so now, we gotta try them.@@ExploreNaturesCatchWhen I was three years old, my dad bought me a three foot fishing rod at Thrifty Drug Store and took me to fish at the East Fork of the San Gabriel River. He baited my hook and had me dip the bait in the stream behind a big rock, and a trout dashed out and bit the salmon eggs, hooking itself. I got scared, dropped the rod, and ran away, so dad had to land the trout, ha ha. My introduction to trout fishing. I had walked all the way down to the river with him, but he had to carry me out when it was time to go. He did that for the next two years, several times, until I got strong enough to do my own walking uphill.

[@johnnishio4435]

Hi Cary, we fished George Creek Sand trap; Big Pine Creek Canal and got zero bites. Couldn't get to the Lone Pine Sand Trap because they are doing road construction there. We caught two limits of rainbows and browns at the Bishop Creek Canal fishing two hours Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Lots of fishermen there and heavy pressure on the fish, but they were biting on night crawlers. No bites on jigs, minnows or Trout Magnets. Lots of fun. Copper Top BBQ was very good. Had their pulled pork sandwiches for lunch, and brought home a vacuum sealed rack of BBQ ribs and a pound of BBQ tri tip, also delicious. Copper Top is very busy but worth a stop on the way home, since you can get the vacuum packed meats already cooked.@@ExploreNaturesCatch

[@karendurant4981]

You guys need to watch out for "ready, set, go!". Amelia is getting pretty brave. Fall is the best time up there. A good chance of catching a big brown or brookie near the creek mouths too.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Might do one last trip up there before the season ends. Would be really nice if we can get into the brookies and browns!

[@joel8trata]

Every Year in June we fish at Mary, but not this year due to the snow. Thinking of going in July instead and hopefully the snow are melted by then. But Twin Lakes in Bridgeport was the hot spot for us this year. Me and my 13yr old Daughter caught 24 trout in 3days

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Hopefully they don't have another huge snow storm like they had this past year. It really did make fishing difficult in the beginning of the season. Glad you and your daughter did great out there. How old was she when she reeled in her first fish? Im trying to prepare Amelia to reel one in. I bought her a small 3ft pole, she just needs more practice using the reel. If i end up going up one last time ill stop by twin lakes in Bridgeport. We like eating at the restaurant in mono village. Did you fish Upper twin or lower?

[@joel8trata]

@@ExploreNaturesCatch my daughter was 5 when she reeled in her first fish. Around 9yrs old is when she started tying her own knot. Rhinos Bar and Grill has good food in Bridgeport. We normally fish Upper Twins but I’ve limited out at Robinson creek with mini jigs i bought from you.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Another beautiful video. Amelia is so cute and growing so fast. I am sure that bear wanted your fish. Thanks for the video.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you for watching! The bear was definitely on the hunt for stringers. Hope all is well with you!

[@anthonysayle7409]

Great to see the family back at it good to see u handling it hope to see u out on the water sometime be safe

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Appreciate you watching. Hope all is good with you and your family. See you out there!

[@joebass517]

Hi my friend, incredible as always, do you know when that guy caught that 19 lber? Unbelievable, that restaurant at silver lake has old pictures on the wall from the early 1900's the fish were huge in those photos, June loop has had a reputation for huge fish back in the day, jacks waffle house in bishop most of the fish on the walls are from June loop, you guys always Grind out!! Looks delicious tri tip rocks, that was a huge bear, saw lots of them up there, I always carried while fishing, in the state of California it's legal to carry a firearm while fishing, family is looking beautiful as always my friend, appreciate your channel it's great 👍🇺🇸🙏🎣🎣🌲🏔️

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. That big brown was caught back in 2020. There was a 22lb 10oz brown caught at upper twin in Bridgeport recently. That must have been an exciting fight. I was just thinking about getting everything set up to carry as well. I need to take a class at turners to get it all going. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Always appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on the videos. Hope all is well with you and your family. See you out on the water! 🎣

[@lao5960]

I been waiting for trout season in southern california again! Halloween is usually the kickoff basically,big bear had theres week ago!! I need to make it back up to the sierras bishop was great last yEar 😎

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Same here, I saw a lot of stocking dates for SoCal starting up in November! Big bear seems to be doing really good recently, Ive been wanting to stop by there too. I will be heading up to Mammoth lakes very soon for a short trip before the season ends. Really looking forward to that.

[@caseybourne4115]

Thomas Boyant for sure

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Can’t go wrong with that. What’s your favorite color for the Thomas buoyant?

[@larrehf3648]

You should try rock creek lake by the restaurant side, left side of lot. Fish of the big rocks with sliding weight and a 4-5 foot leader. Cast out as far as you can using an inflated crawler. Then continue past rock creek lake and hike up a bit. You will find all kinds of trout including goldens.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Sounds good! Thanks for the intel. I'll be heading out that way one more time before the season ends.

[@larrehf3648]

Not much of a secret spot now, but we consistently catch at least 50 trout a day in that spot. One time no one else was catching jack and we couldn’t stop. It gets boring honestly.

[@leroymontano9080]

Cast master, rooster tails,Jakes,spoons,etc

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Kastmasters are usually the first ones I throw out. What’s your favorite color?

[@samchau4761]

Enjoyed your video! That"s Earl the big ass Bear. Lol

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Appreciate you watching! That bear crept up on us quick 😆. Too bad I didn’t record how close the bear got to my friend.

[@samchau4761]

That was pretty closed. Lol@@ExploreNaturesCatch

[@4acesjackdaniels775]

I was up there about a month ago. I fished George and Mary both. You sure did a lot better than me! Wow, you're hard core fishing in the rain. I saw bears there last year, but not this year. Thanks for uploading the video and all the tips!

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching. I stopped by George too but didn't have much luck there this time. The rain definitely did cut into a lot of the fishing time. I'm itching to throw in a line soon somewhere. Maybe big bear. Hope all is well with you!

[@jasonmorales1846]

You said you've had good luck with the gold kastmasters try the copper ones.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Usually gold does good for me. I'll try the copper one out, I do have one in my tackle box.

[@rvlifediy]

Looks like your daughter is ready. I remember starting out both my kids on the Micky pole. They had the most luck. Have you thought about some type of camper/campervan? Much easier to get out there and stay out longer with little ones.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

I just bought her a 3ft dock demon pole. On the next trip I’ll try and have her reel one in. I actually was heavily looking into a camper. That would be really convenient being out at the lake. Like you said, would be able to fish a little longer too.

[@rvlifediy]

@ExploreNaturesCatch so many different campers out there. Don't let it get you down the rabbit hole lol. Maybe a truck camper if you haven't looked at those already aside from the travel trailers.

[@ucrpbds]

Another great video! We were up there fishing the Mammoth Lakes a couple weeks ago (when that snow storm unexpectedly rolled in) and the fishing was super slow. Hope you guys had a blast! Looks like you did 🙏🏻

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching! Would be nice to squeeze in another trip out there before the season ends. Looks like a lot of big fish were caught this past week out of mammoth lakes. We had a great time out there. Any more fishing plans coming up for you?

[@ibee6y0ubee9]

👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for watching bro. 🎣

[@dkk-lb1kp]

I just subscribed to the channel. I love it will you ever try BFS fishing for trout?

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thanks for subbing! I'll do some more research on bfs fishing, need to find a good setup. Appreciate you watching the videos!

[@395er]

Were you at convict lake early Friday morning? 10-20?

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

No I wasn’t, but might do one last trip up there before the season ends. 🎣

[@Edwardcruzz13]

GODMORNING carey sbd family...i told you awhile back to let the baby reelthe fish in..lol i sawcshe got excited when momma caught that nice one 😊.hey !i sent a message last night hopefully you get it on youre Instagram..im not registered with one i just sent it anyway. Looks beautiful out there hope to make it this month ..take care brother. !

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Hey brotha, good afternoon! Yeah Amelia was getting hyped up from seeing the fish 😆. I might take her to the local lake this week and see if I can get her on a fish. I’ve been pretty inactive on Instagram but I will check it out later today. Hope all has been good with you. I’ve seen a lot of big fish caught out there this week. Would be nice if I can squeeze one more session out there before the season ends. Looks really nice out there right now.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Sending a package out to you tomorrow!

[@Edwardcruzz13]

@ExploreNaturesCatch whaaaaat ! Carey ! ..dude ! Really, brother, I need to support you,... let me give you an offering so you could buy baby Amelia a happy meal .🤗.. you're too kind .hopefully, we'll see you out there one day.

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Hey Carry .. you're an expert out there on trout behaviors. I like to go early in the am about 3-4 am..(I'm retired ) lol, what color of jig is best for that time of darkness, and the water is murky, theeen around the time when day light comes out..what color .ty brother !

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

@@Edwardcruzz13 no expert at all but I have read that when it’s dark, black or white lures are more visible and when it’s light, bright fluorescent colors work good. I usually stick to black, white, orange, and chartreuse. Here’s a nice chart I found for more details outdoorskilled.com/what-colors-do-trout-see-best/

[@samchau4761]

Brings some small gold color Jerk Baits you will get some nice Browns.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Sounds good, I’ve been wanting to do some brown trout hunting. Especially after seeing that big one caught out of twin lakes in Bridgeport.

[@arciagmm]

Hey Carey! I see Amelia is the star of the show. Such a cutie! I didn't realize we were there the same weekend. What day were you at Mary? I was there on Sun morning till about 10. Looks like we were fishing the same side. I was closer to the Marina. I was throwing spoons, jigs...they didn't want none of that lol. Salmon peach PB & pink Micetail were gettin it done. 5lb'er on the MT. Left that day because of the storm. Treacherous drive back. Good thing we left. 395 wz shutdown Mon 😳 @markiemark6868

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

Thank you! We were there when they shut down the 395, my friend that came up with us left that Monday and had to drive through yosemite to get back home. Took him about 8 hours to get home instead of 5. Krisitne and I drove back Tuesday night and I was able to drive back down the normal route but it was a mess. Roads were flooded. Someone was actually speeding through the floods and almost caused an accident with us. Our car was completed covered with mud and we couldn't see anything. Too bad we didn't run into each other out there. We did fish Mary that Sunday but it was later in the afternoon. We usually end the days at Mary. Im glad you caught that big fish. Where are you going to fish next?

[@arciagmm]

​@ExploreNaturesCatch Wow! I know exactly what you mean by speeders. That happened to us also on the way back. I'm going back up to Mammoth Veterans day weekend in Nov. Just a few days before the season ends. Praying it doesn't snow or I may have to cancel lol Never been up there that late. Do they shut anything down just because it's so late in the season? Weather aside.

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

@@arciagmmI’m heading out there this weekend. I’ll let you know how it is.

[@arciagmm]

@@ExploreNaturesCatch Nice! Happy lunker hunting ! Thnx!
