Fish ah-choo 🤧

Do you use a dodger with speedy shiners?

great video learning about my lowrance, what does the downrigger line or ball look like on screen?

Back in June 15-22nd I was fishing over at Lake Chelan in WA. I caught almost all my biggest fish off a metallic green rooster tail. One morning, I limited out in an hour. I caught so many fish off that rooster tail ,it eventually broke in half. I tried a bunch of other lures, but the green one kicked some butt. I didn't have another one. I drove to town and picked up a few more at Walmart. The next day, I caught an 8 lb king salmon. My brother caught an 11 lb king off a 3in green senko while we were lake trout/small mouth bass fishing. What an awesome lake. I can't wait to go back there. Next time, I'll have to hide the gourmet dog treats. So someone doesn't mistake them for chicken jerkey and eat half the bag again. 🤣🤣🤣 Dave😂

Great video, thanks for telling it the way it is!😃🤙🏽

Used your white minnow today at Pinecrest, was a trout magnet! So many that 2 got tore up by the end of day. Definitely getting more. Thanks!

"Light drag is the right drag", going to steal that saying. friends always ask me why i change my line every year, buy expensive terminal tackle and check my lure line after every catch. Like you said big fish have ESP! 😅

Knot Guilty! Salmon Sacramento river 1998 or thereabouts.

How do you attach the dodger to your bead chain?

Another great video!

💛...always good advice...

Great video Wes

If you want cooler weather head further up the road to Little Grass Valley Reservoir CA, (little beaver boat launch), you can catch your fill of trout and kokanee in a remote setting, lake to yourself.

Awesome 👏🏼

Hi Cal what kind of boat is that? Great video BTW

Cal can you include some info about your set back off the Down rigger ball

Hey I'd like to know about that boat also

Ya tell us about that boat

All about the beckman nets! Nice time on the water. I'm having a hard time on one of my lakes trolling for bows cause the weeds are up so high and it's not a deep lake. So I've been on bass with wacky rigs slaying them. In 3 weeks I'm heading to my river to catch our return run king and coho salmon. It's gonna be good cause that means the best fishing days ahead! Nice video on finicky trout tight lines friend!

Cool hat Cal, like to see the details about that boat your on. Keep up the great videos.

What's the boat?..looks like a 18 foot suntracker totally fitted out

I love this set up Cal got 2 of your rods

That seems like a really long set-back for a downrigger? When do you run a dodger vs. not run a dodger?

What lake?

No dodgers or flashers, when should I use one?

Great video. Like how you covered gear and depth and speed. My experience with your spoons and trout trix works on the waters of Washington are they are simply the best presentations out there, bar none. Great footage. Keep’em coming!

Hey Cal unrelated to the video but do you think it’s too late in the season to target trout up at Sugar Pine Reservoir or the Foresthill area in general? Appreciate all of the guides you have, they’re an invaluable resource to young anglers like myself.

What month do you think the stripers will come into the delta for the fall?

Nice day! Can you share how deep of water you were fishing? Did you fish structure, open water, or the deep water channel? Folsom is a tough fish for me. Any help would be great

So many knots to attach the braid to the mono/flouro .. which do you use ?

I've been making my own spinners for the last year now and absolutely love it cause I can come up with combos you could've find in a store or online. I got a 12 pound lake trout a few weeks ago trolling a hammered Colorado blade spinner with a dressed treble hook I did with UV Marabou and luminescent flashabou.

Can you show me how set it up on the line

Thanks for your opinion on this topic. This reinforces my desire to get a line counter on my trolling reels.

I'm not much of a fisherman but i do snorkel and love to swim at the bottom of the middle fork. I've seen hundreds of humongous trout down there over the years and hardly any people fishing them out. Also tons of trout in the north fork of the middle fork American river. Right off Mosquito ridge road. The river is shallower but has many waterfalls where the trout like to wait and feed.

Cal just wanted to say thanks for the great fishing gear and amazing prices. Love in northern Arizona and hard to find good trolling gear. Glad I found you on you tube.

Its missing a pec fin

I have a question hopefully you can help me out with the slip bobber fishing: my bait is twisting around the line that does not allow the bait to travel down to the 20-40’ft of depth where the fish are located ( I have tried sideways casting, over the head casting) any suggestions tips will be appreciated and leaving my frustration on shore. Respectfully Bill S.

Hey Cal-great advise about the Downrigger, anything more or up coming about using trolling weights with leadcore ? You mentioned something about that with your last videos. Thanks

Cal -you're the man! Great vid as always. For the yozuri pins minnow lure, do you use the floating (1-2ft sink) or the sinking (3-4ft) version? Thanks again!

Wanted to share an iteration of your hybrid leadcore setup ive been using the last couple trips seem to work for deeper running fish anywhere from 35-45 ft. 15lb braid - 4 colors of 12lb leadcore - 8lb fluro , Stumpy meadows and Pardee have been where ive tested the setup 9 rainbows and 3 browns out of stumpy, Manged to catch 6 kokes and 1 brown almost 5lbs from Pardee where all marks where coming from 38-47ft

Hey cal let's go fishing. I've been catching nice fish this year every where from Collins to bucks I'm sure I can learn more from you but I'm a big fish hunter an I have proven my self an you have seen me an you have said thos guys catch a lot of fish you an Wes both. Let's met up... I've got got a method as well. I caught a 28" mack on father's day an a bunch of browns uo to 25" be good to meet with you

DON'T BELIEVE YOUR SUPPOSED TO JUST CHUCK or THROW FISH BACK INTO WATER Cal ! WHAT'S UP WITH that NEW METHOD at 2:11 ??? I CALL U OUT Cal, BECAUSE these OTHER SOFT, WEAK, SISSY BOY FOLLOWERS , of YOURS DON'T HAVE the GUTS !

Fish shaped weights do attract fish, and does seem to be more often than your standard cannonball. Now is this good or bad? No clue. They track well and prices are about the same as a high quality coated name brand cannonball. So it comes down to opinion, does the few extra fish that follow the weight result in additional catch? Or do these fish get spooked and result in a loss of catch? I am assuming the answer is likely yes to both... So it simply comes down to personal preference.

He's a joke and wouldn't know the difference between a slip and a blood knot, no offense to a "influencer" but trash videos with horrible information. Keep bass flipping and rippin lips bro. . .as i said in a comment. Everybody with a pole now thinks they know something 🤷‍♂️ embarrassing for the future of our nation honestly to watch crap like this and try to learn something. Its hardly blowing at all, but windy according to Title of video lol try fishing in a kayak or boat worth less than a 1000 and tell me how it goes

Is the Hobie Compass kayak capable of adding a rail and downrigger? I just started kayak fishing and things are tight. And this is a helpful video.

How long of a leader should you use?

Can you do a KZfaq video on temperatures

Like use a laser thermometer? What temps should one look for

Thanks so much for the brine suggestion! Delicious. Tried some brand from cabellas and it was not good.

Which flys?
