So I have moved back to the mainland and am fishing constantly. I went to Bass Pro Shops in Vegas yesterday. It was lke I was in Mecca. I fished Wilson right before we left and I boated 25 Red Devils and Bluegill. The magic lures that day was a Chartruese Road Runner and then a pink grub on a 1/16 o...

I love being on a boat. So I prefer fishing from a boat, but both are real fun. There are some spots on the lake that have less trash in them, so a boat is nice to be on. Either way I live, eat, breath and sleep fishing. I can't get enough.

Ya there are some great fisheries that have finally developed. Dixon is great, unfortunately it is a zoo becasue of the shamu sized bass they caught. I live relatively close to Diamond Valley, Irvine, Hodges and some other great lakes. I can't wait to go get some largemouth, but there will always be...

Where on the bank on the Scholfield side? I think that I was floating out there watching you fight that. If that was you that was a great fight and a good fish. Even from far away. I spent the last day on Lake Wilson last Saturday. I am moving back to California.

The weather was great and the fishing was good. Caught a nice largemouth and about 13 Red Devils and about 10 Bluegill. All were caught on a 1/16 oz jig head with a pink worm on it. I had two big tukes hit a Zara Wouneded Spook but I couldn't set the hook because they were both way out of the water ...

I have seen buys that fish under blackberry trees with flies that look like blackberries. What a blast that looks like.

Lake Mead and Lake Powell (in UT) are both amazing striper fisheries. I grew up fishing there atleast 4 times a year. When the water is cooler the fishing is unreal. The big stripers stay down when the surface temp is really hot. As soon as the surface temp drops below 75 the big boys come out. A bu...

I have used baitcasting reels in salt water. I personally prefer them. Cabelas makes one called the Salt Striker and there is the classic Abu Garcia International. Most all manufacturers make them. I like having more control.

I haven't been out in a while and can't wait to get on the water again. I personally buy bait at Wahiawa Sporting Goods on California. Finding the guy in the shop can prove difficult at times. Today I drove up there from Laie and he was out of bait. Then I settled for feeders from the pet store...th...

I had a doctors appointment today in Wahiawa so I decided to stop by the dock and watch the fish for awhile. I saw probably 30 Red Devils, two schools of Gar and two smaller tukes protecting a ball of fry. A small Tilapia moved in and I got to watch the tukes attack and eat them. It was awesome. The...

Did you email stan@hawaiibassfishing.com ? That is the guy you need to get a hold of. He'll email you back. Or you can call the number on his site (808) 352-6197.

Make sure if you fish the park, or anywhere on the lake for that matter, that you have 1. A fishing license 2. An Entry Permit 3. A personal flotation device I was stopped by a ranger the first time I fished there. It is a $500 fine per offense. He let us off, but seemed pretty serious about it. All...

You'll catch some from the shore, but you;ll most likely slay them in a boat. For guide info go to http://hawaiibassfishing.com/default.asp?nc=6333&id=4 . That is the best advice I could give you. I went with Chris and had a blast. We caught a bunch of fish and I learned alot on the trip enough ...

You can try a weedless hook like this one below. They are pricey though. http://www.jfaulkner.us/hook.jpg Also. I Started using a bobber with a split shot by the hook so I could sink the bait, but not all the way to the bottom. I leave like 4ft between the hook and the bobber and then I put a spli s...

Those numbers are making me want to get on the lake. Are you using livebait? If so what kind? I would love to know.
Thanks,
Jeff
