@GoldenStateFishingКүн бұрын
It’s a minn kota I-pilot heading sensor it’s for when you are in spot lock you can bump the kayak in any direction 5 ft instead of taking it out of spot lock and moving then putting it back on . It’s cool but honestly not that necessary for another $200

Congratulations on the birth of your Daughter Sierra. Based on her parents and their influences, that's very likely the next Joan Wullf/ GSF CEO sitting on your shoulders there, lol. Hey, I'll never forget the time I was there wading out in the middle of the E. Walker trying & get the right drift when Brownzilla's Grandpappy came porpoising up a few feet from me. I had no clue there were Brown's in there capable of eating a full grown midget. I felt like Hooper when he was setting the chum line for Quint & he nearly lost his arm to a 25 footer. This thing was a gnarly, giant hook jawed predator easily capable of mowing down multiple chipmunks, ducklings or even an unlucky baby fawn. No, I never saw it again that day. It was the biggest Salmo Trutta I've ever laid eyes on, no doubt. However, interestingly enough, I just inherited a 2500+ sq. foot- 5 bedroom cabin right there in Bridgeport. It's supposedly awesome, my Sister just went up for a week & says it's amazing. My names on the title & I haven't even seen it yet. Unfortunately, I've had 6 surgeries over the past 4 years, so I've been disabled but if I continue to heal, it looks hopeful that I'll be making trips up there next season. Listen, I would seriously consider letting you GSF'rs take 1/2 my cabin "It's a Duplex" for a few days in exchange for a serious "On the water" tutorial. I'm tired of continually doing it wrong. It would take you 5 minutes to identify my weaknesses & point me in the right direction. Let's think about it. I live in Victorville so maybe this fall we can meet up @ Hesperia Lake and kick it around. Bottom line, I've been a trout freak since I was a baby. Eastern Sierra's every weekend till I moved to Montana in my 30's . I've spent tons of time on the water, learned to tie & throw flies, always trying new methods yet still compared to You, I suck. There's gotta be just one or two important little idiosyncrasies that someone like you could identify. Anyway, we still got 4 months till the Mojave River Lassen County Salmon run, lol...until then, Go Easy & God Bless the GSF!!

I totally agree about the jigging technique. Very very effective method. My other preferred style is tossing spoons. A couple years back while at Silver lake fishing the entrance to Rush Creek in the evening, I was tossing my favorite spoon and went 47 for 48 casts in a row, all browns. That frog pattern spoon killed em! But jigging is a gas too.

Estevan, also I was curious why you guys aren't using other manufacturers gear let's say like Daiwa Presso rod and a Presso reel? Or even like a Fenwick Elite rod with a 10 bearing Pflueger President reel? I would like to see if you guys actually don't prefer the less spendy stuff over your JDM gear. Most anyone who has used both will actually prefer the drag of a Pflueger over their $500 Shimano. I'm using anything from Dobyns Sierra series rods to Lamiglas, Santiam, you name it. I think you'd be hard pressed to say they don't perform on par or better than your $400 Katana. Doing videos using different gear is actually a good thing for your viewers. Just a thought.

@@gonfishn I’ve been jigging for 30 years and it’s by far the best way to catch trout nothing and I mean nothing works better . The man that started it all just throwing jigs taught me when I was 10 years old and designed his own rods specifically for throwing jigs he is gone now and my rods are the katana are from his design but with my experience have made it it even better. Nothing will out perform the katana it’s one of lightest rods at only 2.1 ozs and the sensitivity is insane. The guides are Fuji torzites some of the highest end guides in the world . As for the reels I’ve used and owned every reel you have named and so many more and nothing compares to the lightness and quality of shimano and daiwa jdm reels . There is a few Daiwa reels I do like like the presso and the exist but me and lots of others still feel shimano is better but it’s preference. So in the end I use shimano jdm and katanas bc there is nothing better this is the highest you can go .

I still fish my 55 year old Fenwick FS 65 with same vintage Zebco Cardinal 4 rear drag I bought when I was 13 yrs old. Still my favorite set up. Super sensitive rod and smooth as silk reel even by today's standards. Try using the old Mitchell Garcia 301, Quick, Zebco or D.A.M. reels with fiberglass ultra light rods. I still have all mine from growing up. Try it. You'll like it! I grew up riding my bike to Irvine lake way back when , yanking trout and catfish til I ran out of bait. Good times.
