I agree, the "new" Cannon's are built much better, IMO.. BUT, "DO NOT TRUST OR USE THE MOUNTS". Cannon did not upgrade the swivel bases and all 4 of my "new" bases cracked within 3 months. I almost lost a rigger to the depths of New Melones. I contacted Cannon and told them of the issues and how...

Any IC's out there??? A few questions I have are: Can an IC work for or provide a service to the same company/customer for years doing the same job everyday, the same job that actual "employees" of the company/customer provide????????????? If yes, could this be concidered a "contiuning...

Things are winding down at Berry but there are some real nice kokes to be had if you put in the time. Berry kokes are far along "lifes path" but if you want big hooked up fish, Berry has'em. Saw a report of a a confimed 21 inch male caught at the dam in the last few days. Kokes will be deep...

Way too close to derby time for any info Tater. I'll be looking for some "big'uns" on Sat. The best I can do for you right now is if your fishing the derby, find Nate & Robbie and fish right behind their boat and follow them ALL DAY!!

It does not matter. I use black or just let them take on their natural lead color if not coated/painted. Fish have no interest in the weight. It's whats attached to the end of the release thats attached to the weight that's important. I've spent many days fishing next to anglers & guides that...

I thought I was going to be sitting this one out but I got the invite to join the fun and team up with JT. We'll be trying to find that 16 incher Kevin!! I have not fished Pardee since 2010 which was a very good year for me as far a derby's go. I'm looking forward to the fun and seeing some...

I consider Stampede a "bug" lake for me. I like to run bugs at the "pede" more than any other place. Ted's bugs and Vance's bugs behind a watermelon Sep's 4/0 dodger. I also use sardine scent on the corn. These are a few tips that where passed along to me many years ago from a well know guide on...

I sounds like you picked a good time to go. Collins can be very busy with "lice" during the summer, it keeps me away this time of year but you got fish and thats what counts. Pardee would be a good place to check into next time. Closer to Tracy and better fishing and "NO LICE"!! Thanks for the...

I'm assuming you were fishing the Markley area. If so, lot's of trout in the area raised & released by Project Kokanee, CIFFI, each year out of the pens located at the end of the houseboat dock. These are Eagle Lake strain so the pink flesh is no surprise. The fish live in the pens for several...

I know this is late but I would opt for Berryessa right now. Main lake near big island 45-55 ft. Green & pink combos have been good colors. The dam and toward the power lines is also holding some fish. Get there early to avoid the "lice". Big fish once you find them and when you do, stay on...

Chad, I did not make it out Thurs. Forgot about a dentist appointment!! I'm trying to make time to get out this week coming and looks like there might be a little reprieve from the heat, even a small drop in the temp. would be nice. Will post up if I get out. Mark

Chad, You where there the same day as me. I fished with JusTrolling out of his Lund w/ the Kokaneemart graphic on the side and we had an "EPIC" day. We've not put a limit stick together like Mondays since the early days of Indian Valley and Camanche a few years ago. Nothing under 18 inches and...

Got an invite from JT to hit Berry mid week and Jt's been putting some pigs in the boat lately + he knows that lake better then most. If this weather breaks (Raining hard here in Georgetown right now) we should be out either Tues. or Wed. Will post up a report and details after, if we do make it...

It all depends on the depth of the fish I'm targeting. Surface to 30 ft. 50-100ft set backs, the fish will let you know + take into account boat pressure in the area. This will make them boat shy!! 35-50 deep- 25 ft. set backs Deeper than 50 ft., a 10 ft. set back is all I go. Kokes are not...

Nice that you got out and good to hear that DFG was out checking on things but IMO.. too little, too late!!! As I posted before, we have been warning of over planting for over 2 years now, having learned from what happened at "Pardink" in the past. During the 2 derbies held at Melones the past...

I never use a treble for kokes. Most think that having 3 barbs will hold the kokes better but from what I've seen & believe it gives the fish more leverage and land less fish, IMO... As for R&K, I don't use them but they did start using the sickle hook a few years back. I've been using the...

SD, Nice pics. and good to hear you got out with family & friends. Too bad on the size of fish. That's a long drive for "Pardink" size kokes. Other than Berry, it's seems most lakes have got a problem with size this year. It's still a bit early but just look at Melones right now. Same...

IMO... Talk about "greatest rock band's" of all time could be numerous. Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, RUSH "yea, RUSH!!, Stones, ELP, King Crimson, AC/DC, Beach Boys, ETC... But as far as "Greatest Rock Band" hands down: THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To do what they did in less than 10 years is...

I've seen that price also tooexcited!!!! Sep has a lot of knowledge but for that price I had better get the book and a guided trip out of it. I have his book and it has lots of useful info. I would order it directly from Sep. www.sepsoutdoors.com Last I looked it was like $15.00. Mark

I used 8# Red Cajun for years just like Kokemachine but have found that it's just not the same line since Zebco took it over from Shakespeare. It was a great line but I've had a few issues since. It's a confidence thing with me so I started testing some new lines last year and found that the...
