No worries. He definitely has skills 🤘

How long are your leaders from your mono to braid? I have about 7ft leader

For mini jigging

My pb Trout feels small to your guy’s trout’s!. 4lb

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors I just ordered some white hologram minnows gsf I did ok with those this last Saturday at sarl I was looking for the micro minnows couldn’t find them for some reason

Outstanding!! Thats a good fish 🤘

Thanks Lee

Thanks brother 🙏

Thanks Juan 🙏

Haha sorry brother, I wasn’t bragging. I was being sarcastic as Ive never had a day like that there. Believe it or not ive been fishing there since the 80’s and this season is the first time I’ve been able to pull anything out of that lake over 5lbs. In the past 5 trips there before this one I skunked out 3 times. It really comes down to luck most of the time when getting the big ones. If you message me on instagram and can show you a map of all my favorite spots 🤘

Haha if only. We do have some nice stocked trout out at some of our lakes but it aint cheap at most places to fish for em

Thanks brother, it was a great day 🤘

Thanks I appreciate it 🙏

🤣🤣

Thanks brother I appreciate it 🙏

Thanks for watching 🙏

They are made by a company called Mountain Cork. They have pre made bags and can also do anything custom. Here is the link mtncork.com/

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Honestly part of the reason I like SARL so much is that it is a challenging lake to fish. Id say I get skunked there 20% of the time. I was fishing that very spot 4 days prior and got skunked. Additionally, Ive had a bait rod goin on several trips and the fish didnt touch it. What it comes down to at that lake is being at the right place at the right time. Mt Lassen has been doing something to the fish to make them more docile for the trip in the stock truck. Whether its drugs or changing the oxygen mixture in the truck, the fish seem drugged for a few days after a stock. Ive seen it at multiple lakes this season. It usually takes 3 or so days before the want to eat. Thats why Ive been doing alot of Tuesdays there this season. I believe all the fish caught in this video were holdovers from weeks ago. This day they had a big lightening stock and I only heard of 2 lightening caught at the entire place that day. Another issue is we have had several significant storms roll through the past weeks. Fish are very sensitive to air pressure changes so right before a storm they usually shut down. Also when the moon is full the fish tend to feed at night and that lake has so much shad and other Minnows in it that the fish feast all night. When I get skunked I always ask myself did I really try everything and my answer is usually no. Did I try a bobber, night crawlers, all my scents, etc. that said sometimes the fish just don’t want anything 🤷🏼‍♂️. I don’t have any secrets I hold back, its all in the videos. Just keep trying, it will work at some point, I promise 🤘

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thanks for taking the time to respond and write all this. It’d be awesome to meet you at the mud hole one day and possibly even fish next to ya to see all this in action. I usually have a powerbait sitting out while I’m running a double dropshot, spoon, or minijig. I told myself I’d keep hitting up SARL until I catch a decent one. Hopefully my skunk streak will end

Haha, no worries. My first suggestion would be to go with a Katana 7’6” K5 if your gonna spoil yourself. Its the newest rod they are putting out and it has become one of my favorites. Its cheaper than the other versions at $300 and its one of those rods that can do anything. I have mine paired with a Daiwa Presso 1000 and they run about $270. Outstanding reel for the price. Smooth and light like the Stella at a much lower price. If thats too spendy the Phoenix Elixir in either 7’6” or 8’ is another great rod that can also do anything and its a bit cheaper than the Katana. The Shimano Vanford 1000-2000 series is another great reel that is a bit cheaper than the Presso at around $250. If any other questions come up let me know🤘

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors thanks bro I really appreciate you a lot and will continue to keep tight lines for sure! And keep on shooting your videos please I'm always learning and laughing. Your the best man thanks!

@@PaulPaul-vd3yq thanks brother I appreciate it 🙏

Oh only if I could but id get a copyright strike haha. Seen them live a few times, just epic! The mudhole can be a difficult mistress for sure. I think I skunked there 4 times last season haha. Part of the reason I love fishing there is it can be difficult at times and I like the challenge of figuring them out. Basic tips for there; bait and wait-keep it close to shore, like 5’ off the bank. Just past where you cant see into the water. Try a bobber with a 4-5’ leader with bait of choice and keep that close as well. Dropshot and mini jigs are pretty standard, either they want it or not but change retrieve styles. Sometimes they want an unconventional presentation. Try to stay away from deep water this time of year. The trout like to stay shallow this time of year. Boats dont help much there unless you are near toad road or the flats by casa corner. What makes that lake so tough sometimes is there is a ton of bait fish in the water so the trout are never starving. If your able to try going on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Still plenty of trout and very few people. Makes it much easier to move around and find some biters 🤘 Oh and most importantly…dont leave early! Its all about the afternoon bite. Id say 90% of my videos there where im catching alot its between the hours of 1 to 4pm

Man brother . Thank you for the info.. we also love the challenge..

I usually use about 5’ of leader. You may want to size down to the 4lb iron feather. The smaller diameter line will help you get it out there a few more feet.

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thanks for the reply and info.

Yeah we are definitely goin 🤘

You can just run the mono you have on there already and it will work just fine. The braid and fluorocarbon are just more sensitive so you will feel more of the light bites when they are biting soft. I didnt switch to braid or fluorocarbon for a while after I started dropshotting and still caught fish with mono 🤘

I have several spots I fish at SARL. Usually I fish the east end of the pond, basically anywhere I can find that has a shallow area.

What knot do you use to connect braid to fluoro?

Thanks 🙏. It was Friday 2-3

Its now $33.

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors wow went way up

They are available currently over instagram. If you messaged @katanarods2022 or @gsfcustombaits they will get you all set up

Thanks 🙏

I haven’t fished the feather light that i remember but im sure it would. Ideally it should be 7’6” to 8’ in length other than that its definitely worth a try. I caught my PB rainbow (9.3lbs) throwing a 1/16 mini jig with 4lb mono using a 6’ ultra light rod. So you can make it work with whatever equipment you have. Its just with the longer more expensive rods it easier to fish the tiny light baits like jigs. If that makes sense

It actually opens this friday 11-10. I definitely wont be there this Friday as Ill be out of town. Next Friday is a maybe. Im going to be doing alot of Wednesdays at the mudhole this season i think

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors honestly you my idol when it comes to trout fishing I’ll be up the 19th, can we link up ? 🙏

No, i only use braid for mini jigs, dropshot, and spoons

Thanks man!

Its a from Mountain Cork. They make custom rod cases. Very reasonable and excellent quality. Here is the link to their website mtncork.com/

Typically “jigging” but you can do several variations to the retrieve than just simply bouncing the rid tip. It also works great for bait and wait

Honestly if i can get into a good bite of one to two pounders im perfectly happy 🤘

Its from a company called Mountain Cork mtncork.com/

TOAD ROAD definitely

No, I don’t actually sell anything but you can get them online from Golden State Fishing; www.goldenstatefishing.shop/

With dropshot and mini jigs Im typically giving a full cast but usually im getting hit 10-15’ off the bank. With bait and wait im putting no more than 10-15’ off the bank as typically, no matter the lake, the trout are going to be swimming back and forth just beyond where you can no longer see into the water 🤘

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors thanks! This helps out a lot. I was always trying to cast as far as possible so I would use heavier weights to get it out there. Knowing I don’t need to cast so far, I can swap out the weights.

The spot is called Toad Road on the lake map

Yes, Friday 2-3 I believe

Im really partial to the east end of the pond, the wood pile, toad road, the shady trees, and the bubble hole. I dont really have one spot at any lake as I like to fish different spots from time to time

Hahaha

Its certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you want a shot at a trophy without having to travel its the place to go.

@SeaSpankerOutdoors guys in the bay area mock us down in socal. Thier public lakes get lassen trout and its only 5 dollar fishing permit lol

@@timothymorales6048 lol, yeah we definitely seem to get the short end of the stick down here when it comes to trout fishing
