really? i just saw filthyfisherman's post and he said he launched at 6:30 am?

what time does the gates open for you to launch your boat? thanks

ya it was sort of near the california ave. spot. i hike more downstream though. its pretty cool shaking that mini jig in front of a rock and having a smallie come out of the rocks and grab it!

lets just dig a giant hole and make our own lake with prime habitat for largemouth haha

went to do some hiking through the lake wilson inlet stream. water was flowing just right and the smallmouth were very active. caught 14 all together, most of them around 8 inches but got a couple around a foot. top lures today included a silver mepps and a trout mini jig in green. here are some pic...

just looked at the kvd's, little more expensive but they look nice. were the ones that you got the silent ones? do bass sometimes prefer no rattles?

i like the bandit 100 square bill cranks. one of my best largemouth lure. fish it near grass and theres usually something ready to rush out and take the lure. never tried the kvd's yet

i got nothing! skunked......also lost my favorite bandit crankbait. hopefully ill do better next time

oh yeah! i just got into bass fishing here in hawaii about a couple months ago, i got a cheap shakespere bait cast outfit and im practicing on that. love spinnerbait and crankbait fishing so far, got to start on fishing plastics. in my opinion, a smallmouth fights harder than any other freshwater fi...

what kind of fly? was it one of stan's famous gold streamers?

im starting to tie up all our trout flies for bishop, bunch of adams and elk hair caddis. those are my 2 favorite ones, should start on a bunch of nymph patterns too.

thanks for all the info stan!
seabass- 2 pound test huh? maybe ill spool my reel up with some of that, i think ill get maxima then cuz i want high quality line if im fishing thin line. im sticking to my 6X tippets though.

never actually bought a tenkara rid yet, but seeing all your posts of them makes me want to buy one, where do you get one and how much?

im not sure about making it to kauai's trout session, but i am going to cali to meet up with seabass and do some trout fishing in the sierra's. expect a full trout report soon!

oh ya and i also catch the red devils with yellow flowers, seabass is a witness!
