To get pumped to fish the main lake after a 4 month hiatus, I consulted my San Luis buddies last week. One told me that his bait fishing buddies were saying “easy limits” and Vaughn also felt that the bigger fish were in the lake. I also reviewed last years Sept videos and with the…
The mounts and cameras in the boat are always changing. The latest mod is to have a handle on a monopod that I can easly reach from the casting platform to point the camera when I move in the boat to cast from the other side or land a fish.
I experienced only one of the above today and it wasn’t a 30lb striper. Again I went in search of the surface action at the Forebay. It was a beautiful day not to be working. A weather front brought rain two days ago and another front is expected by Tuesday. The wind was minimal and…
After the Death March in Alberta this year, I started to rethink my camera logic. The GH3 is cool to have but the weight and size vs benefit while fishing is not so good. I only really used it for a few still shots and took most of the video and stills with the GoPros. …

Usually, Labor day is the Peak of the Salmon run on the Sacramento River. Not this year though. Fishing Friday and Saturday, we were only able to catch half boat limits and we were doing well compared to the crowds that anticipated better luck this holiday weekend. On Friday, I had the honor and pleasure…
With 66-3 victory over Nicholls State (Louisiana) setting a school record for total yards in a game at 772 yards, there is little doubt in my mind that the Duck System is still intact post Chip Kelly. Originally scheduled to play Kansas State , Nicholls State was a last minute fill in and rumor has…
