Hey Super D, if you ever need a co-pilot for the day let me know. I'm always into learning what other people are doing.

Kokanut, I have a good friend that has his boat moored at Markley. I'll ask him about camping. Or I may just launch there next time myself and check it out. I see they have a $20 launch fee. I have been launching at the free launch at Cappel Cove but it is about a 10 minute ride to the dam area...

Kokanut, here is what I know. I may not have all the facts exact but in a nut shell it's what is going on. Berryessa and the land around is owned by the government. There were a few marinas and resorts operating there and had been for many years. Problem was it was starting to become a magnet...

Those are interesting. Never seen a hook set up like that before. Don't think I've ever seen a treble hook on a kokanee lure. Where do you put the corn on that thing?

Yesterday I wentout to Berryessa. Got in the water at about 10 am. Shot over to the dam area. Stopped the boat and started rigging up. Fish jumped right behind me. Drug a set of Vance's flashers with a green tiger Sockeye Slammer with garlic corn about 95 feet back on top. Then sent a gold/red...

Nice part about Berryessa is you can make it a wine country vacation also. The Napa Valley is beautiful in the spring. From my house, I can be at any winery in 15 minutes or at the boat launch in 35.

Were you trolling? With what? What depth? I'm hoping to get back out there next week if weather permits.

Went out to the lake yesterday (Mon.) and got it the water about 10ish. Clear cool and breezy. Launched at the Cappel cove free launch and headed out. By the time I got around the corner to open water the wind picked up and rough white capped water was waiting for me. Not good. I was going to...

Thanks SuperD. I'll just hit some of my old spots and try a variety of things. It will just be nice to get out there and go through the motions. I'll report back.

Anyone been to Berryessa lately? Thinking of heading out there Sunday and Monday. Any trout or king action? Where and how deep? What did you use? This will be my first time in the boat in a couple of years. I'll just be happy to drop the lines and drink a beer on the water. Thanks for any help.

Mine are mounted off of each side at the back.

When I was rigging up my boat I asked a friend of mine about down riggers. He had two manual. I asked if he did it again what would he wished he would have gotten. He said," electric motors". "Cranking those manuals up and down all day gets old real fast". I took his advise and got electric...

4 years ago, got married, had two kids and bought a POS fixer upper house. Been a little too busy for fishing. Things are calming down a bit now. Got my boat from my brothers house last week. Lund WC 14, Honda 20 hp. Been cleaning and going over everything. My Cannon down rigger power cables...

I was thinking of getting a couple Shuttle Hawks this year. I did not know losing them was even an issue. Your fix is great! Will set mine up like that too. Good job.

Thanks guys. Monkey I think you are correct about the show. Super D, that does not sound good if stripers are getting in the river too. Wonder if they were planted on purpose. I wouldn't think so. Edit: Googled it and it was "We Live Outdoors" episode #64 Trolling for trout and Kokanee at...

So I have had a dream for a few years now and I just found out it must be based on bad info. I watched a show on tv a few years ago about a couple of brothers that went on a trip to do some Kokanee fishing. They stated in the show that they were fishing in the lake where they filmed the...
