Right on!! All you gotta do now is get out there. Prado is a great lake to kayak during the SoCal season. Hopefully they get good fish this year 🤞

The only guy I know that may still make them can be reached on instagram @_fishinglegend_ just send him a message as he may still make them

Thank you 🙏

No not at all as long as your using a leader the fish wont see anything but your bait. Using highly visible colored braid is mainly important so you as the fisherman can see what your line is doing more easily. For instance if your fishing a river or stream you can watch the line to see how your bait is moving down stream as well as helping with strike detection

Boot on waders are great and they will certainly get the job done for ya. I just prefer the stocking foot waders with a good pair of boots as I tend to do alot of hiking when I fish in the mountains.

Good catch! I forgot to mention that. Yes I did and I worked the 1/32 every way I knew how and no dice. Somthing about the way the 1/16 was swimming was what they wanted. Usually its 1/32 in those conditions is the ticket 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks Lee 🤘

@JesusLORD690 A Micro Jig w/a Single Barbless Hook is no different than a Small Wooly Bugger or Streamer. And as far scent is concerned, I don't use it but it's fully legal. The Montana Regulations read: ARTIFICIAL LURE: Any man-made lure (including flies) that imitates natural bait. Artificial lures may have a scent infused or applied. Artificial lures do not include fish eggs, any natural or artificial food such as corn and marshmallows, any products that are derivatives of natural foods, any chemically treated or processed natural bait such as salted minnows, nor any artificial dough, paste or edible baits. My friends in Montana were more likely to bend the rules than my California friends. I admit, I probably shouldn't have used Rapalas as much as I used to because they do a bit of lip damage, but I crimped my hooks & can still count all the trout I killed on one hand. In fact, I only recall killing one Westslope and that's because it was just too exhausted to revive. We tried though, for 20 minutes until I was finally forced to BBQ it that evening. We're not Violators, We are protectors of the fisheries who also hate to see people wrecklessly killing fish and just letting 'em float down river. I feel like a complete loser when I kill a fish. Even the time I was so drunk that I stuck an M80 in a Carp....lol. God Bless!!

I appreciate it 🙏. We didn’t get to the Bitterroot on this trip but it sounds amazing. Im working on the footage as I type and it should be out Monday 9/30. We filmed alot so its taking some time 🤘

@JesusLORD690i appreciate the comment but thats just not accurate. We always check local regulations anywhere we fish and all the waters we fished allow conventional fishing. The only difference between an artificial fly and an artificial jig is whatever the fish decide to bite on any given day. Fly fishing and conventional fishing are simply two different methods for accomplishing the same goal. One method is no better or worse than the other. Oh, and GSF mini jigs and minnows do not have any scent 🤘

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 🙏

Agreed. Those trout are somthin else for sure

That sux. I heard they may be close to draining Panguitch to deal with a chub problem 😬

Don't know if they would drain it rather than poison the lake? Last year wasn't bad for chubs but this year they are everywhere. Going to build a new dam below the old dam. Best fishing is the middle of November.

@@gladegoodrich2297 yeah its a tough call for sure. I definitely have respect for Utah as they actively manage their waters. I Just wish California would do more of that

This is the most awesome comment I have ever received hahahaha love it 🤘

Thanks brotha. See you up there soon 🤘

From kayak? Fished from shore there (dam area) on Saturday and got skunked.

I was actually just there a couple weeks ago. Awesome lake. We didn’t get the big ones we were after but we sure got into a bunch of bows. Here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NZb_GnOALLs.htmlsi=i_9Zk15ypnTtCqQa

From what I hear inflated crawlers are deadly at that lake

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors They had a kids event they stocked some big ones I fished next to the marina.

Right on! I remember, it was great getting to meet ya 🤘

I really appreciate it 🙏. Its definitely a beautiful spot for sure but when you go get there early. It can get pretty packed and parking gets tough.

Awesome. I just love that place. Probably my favorite place to fish in SoCal

Thank you 🙏

End of the season is usually my favorite time up there, October to the beginning on November

Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching 🙏

The best advice I can give first is GSF baits that work at several lakes is have a good variety of natural, lights, darks, and brights, as the fish change their minds daily on what they are gonna bite. That said for SoCal some of my favorites are ghost shrimp, big stick, el diablo, carmel apple, super shad, brown trout, bubble gum, gold pearl and brown, and yellow white

Thank you. I really appreciate it 🙏. That was lake Hemet

I go as often as I can during the season. During the hot summer months the trout are only up close in the early morning or late afternoon. During mid day its always good to get on the water in a boat or tube.

Haha thats a real tough question, especially if your talking about one to fish everywhere. If just the sierra it would be brown trout, if its one for everywhere I fish Id have to say Carmel Apple. Honestly I have that one tattooed on my arm.

Right on! Go get em. Hopefully the bite is gonna start picking up soon 🤘

Thank you. I appreciate you watching 🙏

Right on, I love SARL. Hoping they open up Anaheim lake and Irvine as it was back in the day.

Thanks brother. We are definitely going to head north in the near future. Este and I were just talking about it the other day 🤘

Thanks brother I really appreciate that 🙏. That will be coming in the next few weeks. Ive already started working on the outline. Its going to be a floattube buying guide type video but I will also go over how I have mine set up as well as tips and tricks kinda stuff 🤘

Thanks Lee! I use a Malone Micro Sport Low Bed 2 Kayak Trailer. Great trailer but if your gonna get a trailer for the yaks make sure you get a “low bed” style trailer. The other style trailers have the kayaks sitting up higher so when you back into the water you still have to physically lift the kayaks off and place them in the water. The “low bed” style is more like a boat trailer so the kayaks will be touching the water and you can easily slide them on or off if that makes sense. Here is the link a.co/d/8p0HlPD

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thank you for the info, on your trailer what is the distance from the bottom of your kayak to the ground Lee

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it 🙏

Thank you 🙏. Lots more coming for sure 🤘

Easily the Katana UL 7’6” with a Shimano Vanquish 1000 SSSP (Japanese) definitely on the more expensive side but well worth the money. I do an annual tackle reveal video during the socal trout season. Was there something you wanted to see more of like rods and reels or terminal tackle or both? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z_Jp86ZB6fw.htmlsi=8CQa0xnwIj3WWcCH

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7R03BNqq_fg.htmlsi=2Yo9qI5AceStmpEA

Awesome. That Katana is an amazing rod for sure. Hope you like it. I actually never fished the Mirage. I have an 8’ Dragonfly and 3 Elixirs. All really awesome rods but the Katana is definitely the rod for me. Another rod that is relatively inexpensive but a really great rod for jigs is the 8’ Daiwa Presso spinning rod. The are only $80 but a really good rod for the price🤘

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thanks, Rob. I see that the Katana is rated to toss a 1/64 oz. lure. I wouldn't cast anything that tiny, but it makes me think it would cast 1/32 and 1/16 oz. jigs very well.

@@johnmach4985 wait till you see the Montana videos coming out soon. We were using 1/64 mini jigs in the streams and a couple lakes. Believe it or not you can get those things out there farther than I thought and the trout loved that extra slow presentation. I rarely use stuff that light but when the trout were being stubborn it really was just the ticket

Yeah, i know you definitely know how to fish that lake. As much as you fish and put out content you should definitely look into one of those yaks. Its a bit spendy at first but it really is a game changer especially up there🤘

Right on. That Carmel Apple is deadly there 🤘

Thank you 🙏 I really enjoy fishin there for sure 🤘

Definitely. I really enjoy going there from time to time but its so popular that it gets packed. If im goin there i always plan on getting there at first light

Thanks brother I appreciate it 🤘

I just keep trout when they dont survive the catch or at lakes where keeping them is mandatory. Im planning on doing more catch and cooks in the near future 🤘

Thanks for watching. Im planning on getting as much intel out there as I can think of 🤘

It all depends on which snaps your talking about haha. The Duo Lock snaps that I use for spoons and attaching dropshot rigs are either #0 or #00, the ones I use at Pyramid for the big cuttys are size #2. The fly fishing clips I use for mini jigs and minnows are size L (large) 🤘. Yeah I know, had alot of family obligations this summer so I took a little time off but a new video will be out Monday and things will be back to normal 😎

@SeaSpankerOutdoors thanks Rob ! Yes, family first, or we wouldn't be where we're .ok, I can't wait for the next big hit on the screen 😝

The are fly fishing snaps and they work great. The size I use are L (large) which sounds strange but the small and medium are just too tiny for me to use. Here is a link if you want to check them out No-Knot Fast Snaps Fly Fishing... www.amazon.com/dp/B094QQZQG8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
