New Hogan Lake Mega Striper Boils 

Yes it is, lots of crazy boils...thanks

Same here, try it out. Thanks

On a good day where not much boat activities on the water, they'll rise from the bottom. Thanks

Yes sir, thanks

Yes they were...thanks

Thank...

Yes, the fullmoon does play a big role when comes to fishing...fish aren't that active once full moon...see you around...thanks

​@@YPVADVENTURESnegative, the fish (stripers) become more active a few days before and a few days after a full moon. This also affects the large mouth bass the same way... trout fishing is the fish that get affected by the full moon, they are less active...

What do I do for night fishing at hogan?

I've caught many stripers right off the launch.

Yes, especially with all these big boils. Thanks

Just one of them days that they're very active. Thanks

That's the Donkey rig ( double fluke ) it's very sample, required 2 swivels. Bottom lure leader length abt 2.5 ft to 3 ft connected to first swivel and upper lure lenght abt 2 ft connected to the 2nd swivel. Run the main line through the top swivel eye ( 2ft leader lure), and tie to the bottom swivel eye. Top lure should be able to slide freely. Hope that help...or you can google up...there's alot of videos at that rig. Thanks

Yes, fullmoon does play a big role...it slows the bite down and they don't stay up very long.

Yes it's a spook, I'm using clear color on this video, topwater doesn't really matter much abt color, it's the actions that matters. Thanks

Clear color is just my preference...but any color will work.

Thanks

Yes it is...thanks

@YPVADVENTURES great video.

Thankyou

Thanks

Hogan lake can be tuff, takes practice to become good. Just got to keep trying.

@NRYT2360 , this is a Mega school boil, same group of fish running around back and forth within a 1hour of fishing.

Yes, I love Donkey rig...very affected.

It's all depending on the schools of fish, some can boil throughout the days constantly and some about every 5,10, 20, 30 mints...

Definitely. Lol

I have not fish there at night before, but have heard it's pretty good.

I would avoid weekends...too many jet ski and boat water riding...Hogan Lake stripers are very sensitive to boat noise.

Last week, every day is not the same...they moved around.

@@YPVADVENTURES might have to get back out there tomorrow lol hogan has always given me tough days. Sure can be rewarding tho once you find them

Yes, keep trying...once you locate them, it will be an awesome day.

Hey your how many striped your could keep I’m see catching lot?

@@sansaelee2097 for that lake only it's 10 fish limit and no size. Anywhere else in California is 2 fish over 18 inch

Yup.

Donkey rig double fluke

They come up very fast and dive back down...that's just how this lake is.

@@YPVADVENTURES I'm about 6 hours away. I'm going to try and fish there in the fall.

Yes, this lake is limit 10 no size.

This Lake has a limit of 10 stripers no sizes, 5 bass- 12 inch and above, 25 bluegills, no limit on catfish and carp.

10 fish per person, no size.

No, have not been out lately. But, the fish is always there, you just got to find them.

The bass do boil too, but closer to the bank in certain locations...but, everyone is focusing on striper only.

When it comes to chasing boils, not alot Fisherman know how to fish. Most guys will run right into the boil killing the whole entire boil. Or if they see a boil and there's already another guy making cast on to that boil, don't go flying across the lake trying to make your cast, which you'll end up killing the whole entire boils. Just let that boat have its moment with that boil. These stripers are very sensitive to boat noise, so you'll have to come up in a good distance and drop your trolling motor and creep up to it. I usually stay within a casting distance, knowing how far your rod can cast out...that will help keep the boil last longer, not killing it right away. Keep trying you'll eventually get them. Thanks for watching.

@@YPVADVENTURES YA .. that’s what I thought too 👍👊( I’ve never really fished Striper boils before mainly bass fishing ) (BUT same principles apply ) I can see if your a long ways away firing up your motor but YA shut down at least 30 -40 yrd away an trolling motor with in casting 🤷‍♂️. But that Guy 🤦‍♂️. So I gave up that day and went back to catching the green ones …. If your ever there on a Monday or Tuesday and See a Black 2021 Tracker Classic XL wave 👋 Hi and 🍺🍺🍺. ( Dan The Man in Get’n Fishy ) and I’ll give ya a couple lures I paint up 😉

Definitely will wave at you if i see you...but, other than that...keep grinding and you'll get them. Thanks

Any topwater lures, paddle tail lures, and fluke

I've launch on a old boat launch.

@@YPVADVENTURES ok

10

Morning till sun set

@@YPVADVENTURES Have you seen them when the moon isn't full? I want to launch my boat there sometime next week or the week after and try to get some! I love stripers! I'm sure my kids will too. Is it still $5.00 to launch a boat? It's been a few years since I've been there with my canoe.

@wyatth4497 , the day use fee is now $10 since January of 2023. Striper boils better when the moon is completely out.

@@YPVADVENTURES Thanks for the information! That's still way cheaper than Cammanche!

New Hogan Lake is one of the few other Lakes in California that has a limit of 10 fish.
