Trip to Havasu

Apr 06 2009 // Comments

I just got back from a quick trip to Havasu. The plan was to head out there for the weekend and hit up some bass fishing. The weather unfortunately was blown out and the temps dropped all leading to very little action. We got skunked -- we did get some GPS spots figured out and surveyed the hot spots for next time.

It was "spring break", so there was some extra traffic on the lake. I found it abit ridiculous that they spend thousands and thousands of dollars on speed boats only to beach them and sit there and drink beer all day long. Then again, what else is there to do...

As for the flight over, it was surprisingly smooth. Flying over the warm desert mountains usually leads to light chop all the way out there... However, today, the winds were strong, but smooth. I was able to see 160+ knots over Palm Springs, that was nice -- wish I could see those speeds on a regular basis.

Anyway, here is the route for the trip taken from my Garmin 496 track:
