The best tip I can give you is to start with #2 Gamakatsu Drop Shot hooks. Most pre packaged lures come with #4 Octopus type hooks. The drop shot hooks are thin wire and have a different bend to them. They penetrate way better than any octopus or Mosquito hook I've tried. When you snell the 2nd hook, keep 1/2" gap between the eye of the 1st hook and the bend of the second.

Well Kevin, you convinced me to try to make some of my own kokanee lures, but now I am trying to figure out a good source for all the beads and spinner blades. Any suggestions?

[Hit Amazon, fisherman's warehouse and general search for Koke stuff. Tons of stuff online

Ron is right. I've purchased a lot of my materials from Fishermans Warehouse here in Sac.  If you have a decent Fly Tackle shop near you, they should have what you need. There are a ton of tackle shops on line to use. I just prefer to support the local guys when I can.

Wow, what a fantastic weekend! Perfect weather, a plethora of amazing food and a bunch of good people. I was great seeing old friends again and meeting a lot of new people.

Big thanks to Brian for getting this set up again this year. The 3rd Annual BB FnC is already on my mind for next year! From talking with others there, it's on their mind too.

Only took a few photos. I'll post them soon. As usual I was too busy talking, drinking and fishing to remember to get the phone out. I know that others did, so please post what you got.

I never got a count, but I'd guess that 15-20 people decided to join in fishing tournament.
Here are the results:

1st place for best limit(10) by total length-----Plug-n-Jug. Ok. I admit it John, I bribed the kokes to bite my hook!

Longest single Kokanee----Bree. She took that with a nice 13-3/4" beauty.

Longest alternate specie fish----Brian. He brought home the prize with a nice 14" Rainbow trout.

Thanks to all those that donated swag to the prize piles!!!

Thanks again to all of you for making this such a wonderful event!!!

Kevin.

She has both of those things! if it isn't too much trouble, she would love the opportunity to try one. I have a tandem that we both use also, but certainly nicer in your own yak!

My mom is coming up with me! She recently moved to the area and is very interested in getting a fishing kayak of her own. I told her you guys are a great group to ask all the questions she has!

does she have  a license and pole? I could bring an extra Yak if you want

Awesome! Just make sure she has a PFD! We'll have plenty of tackle for her to use.

None of the boxes had keys with them last year. I brought some last year and will bring at least two full tubs with me Friday morning. I don't have any kindling though.

Reminders for everyone!
There are bears in the area. Use the Bear Boxes to store your food!!! There were several coolers lost to them last year. Ask the Ranger for a key.
Bring firewood and Beer!

Note: You do not need this card for a motorized kayak.

"California law requires a person to be 16 years of age or older and in possession of his/her California Boater Card to legally operate a vessel powered by a motor of 15 hp or more, including personal watercraft (PWCs)."

My Trolling motor is 36lb thrust. Nowhere near 15HP.

I used Kydex myself and it’s doing its job so far. Used the strongest gorilla double sided tape I could find and silicone to outer edges.

Bringing back an old thread.  My keel guards peeled off the other day - the JB Plastic Weld did NOT bond well with the hull, and the silicon caulk was basically what was holding them on. 

This is gonna be controversial, but I'm considering riveting them to the hull.  I have some waterproof rivets - I'm thinking two along the front edge and one at the rear.  Silicon caulk or RVT sealant along the edges and at the rivets.

If I chicken out and don't rivet them in place, I will use the double sided gorilla tape and silicon caulk the edges. 

Wondering why all kayaks don't have built in replaceable skid pads at the corners/edges?  Seems like a no-brainer to me.

 
My only concern about the rivet is if you hit a stump/rock or whatever, and it tears the rivets out, now you have exposed holes below the waterline.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Bead Management
« on: March 26, 2024, 12:44:39 PM »
Tip: When building lures, I do all my work in a shallow baking sheet. That keeps those pesky little parts from rolling away. I learned this the hard way when my wife stepped on a #4 hook that found its way to the carpet.
