The Perfect Storm on Lake Tahoe
September 21, 2007
Here’s what we found at the boat ramp on Friday morning at Lake Tahoe. Needless to say, we didn’t fish.
The video’s a little dark since it was 6 AM…(and shot on a cheesy point-and-shoot still camera) the clients really, really wanted to fish, so we loaded up and made a 3-hour drive straight from there down to the Delta. Before we left the mountains, however, I shot a couple more photos…
A new twist on “Catfishing”

GULP!

This is one of the coolest topwater bites I’ve ever seen…the rest of the video is so-so, but the take is awesome!
Underwater Lures: RAPALA

There’s a reason you could probably find at least one Rapala in just about every angler’s tackle box….

Methinks a seal imitation tied on about a 50/0 hook sounds like fun….
Catch and release gone bad

Sure, catch and release is a great conservation tool. It’s all well and good until somebody damn near loses a finger…
Rollin’ Chovies
July 29, 2007
Trolling whole anchovies is a deadly way to catch salmon in the ocean…but it’s also gaining popularity in many lakes that harbor landlocked kings and coho. Much is made about getting the “perfect” roll out of your bait. Conventional wisdom suggests you need a tighter, faster roll to attract coho and a wide, slow roll to catch kings. The bottom line is, however, a rolling bait looks interesting to salmon because it appears to be in distress. Anchovies don’t roll on in the wild, so salmon don’t have a particular action they’re looking for in a bait. Get yours rolling seductively and you’ll get bit!
Fish’s eye view of a flasher & Hootchie
July 24, 2007
Here’s what a flasher & Hootchie looks like under water. This rig is one of my favorite for landlocked kings, coho and kokanee. Always keep your hootchies (and other lures that have no action of their own) close to the dodger so that it can give your offering some enticing movement. A rule of thumb: make your leader 2 to 2 1/2 times the length of your flasher.

Underwater Video: Apex Lure
July 20, 2007
Sometimes, you’ve just got to get a fish’s perspective on things. Here’s what a Hot Spot Apex looks like under the surface. Damn tasty, I’d say…
