I just got home from an evening of fishing at the lake in Rancho Santa Margarita with my family...There is nothing better than enjoying the the amenities you get living in Rancho Santa Margarita...You are able to fish without needing a fishing license...Last year my oldest daughter Braxtin and I caught 26 fish in about an hour and half....YES, you heard me right 26...Tonight we caught somewhere in the 20s again...I think we caught a huge fish today BUT my wife says it weighs about .5lbs....I thought it was like 2lbs....lol....my girls had a blast and more than anything we creating ever lasting memories...

 

You are probably wondering what king of fish are we catching?

I will tell you...small Bluegill ...

 

What king of bait?

Small pieces of hotdog...that is right...hotdog...

 

Time of day?

The evening in the summertime...6:30ish until it gets dark...

 

What kind of hooks?

Tiny little fish hooks you can purhcase at the local Big 5 that is located in the Target shopping center...

 

Where is the best spot to fish around  the lake for these little Bluegill fish?

By the rocks that are closest to the volleyball court that is located in the beach club...

 

As you can see I am far from an expert fisherman...I don't know much if anything about fishing...I keep it simple with my fishing terminology...I am just a dad that loves to enjoy spending time with my family in the city that I live in...Rancho Santa Margarita...

Someone might read this and think to themselves," I don't want to catch these little fish...I want to catch big fish"....well my answer to that is that you can catch big fish in the lake at RSM....my theory is this when it comes to fishing....It's not about the size of the fish, it's about the thrill of the catch...
