General Fishing Tips / Re: Fishfinders scare fish?

« on: April 25, 2019, 10:38:45 PM »

I was just watching an episode of TacticalBassin where they Matt Allen was saying some guy fishing swimbaits for big bass will turn off their sonar, park their boat, and wait a bit before they throw that first cast all so the fish isn't disturbed by the presentation with the unnatural elements.

Maybe it works, maybe its paranoia.

I go to Hells Canyon for a month every November and chase them. You haven't hunted steep til you have hunted chukar in Hells Canyon! I rarely hunt California for chuks. Nevada, Oregon and Idaho. Now I have a kayak Ill be fishing on my dogs rest days.

Nice. The girlfriend and I are looking to move to Moscow or Boise in the next year. She's worked there, just north of Hell's Canyon, and I want to live somewhere where I get my desert and my lakes within a couple hours drive. Freaking amazing state!

Largemouth will spawn mid May on Shasta, so they will be in the brush piles and willow bushes with this high water. Spots spawn earlier and spawn in deeper water, so surface bites will be tough. Lots of suspended fish so shad color senkos, tube baits, keitech swimbaits for numbers. Big swimibaits like S-Wvers, Huddelstons etc for the big spots. I like a blue pig and jig with pork rind too. Buts that's for the solo or wolf pack big fish off by themselves. They wont be near the horde of 13'ers
Man I should have been fishing with you when I was living in Greenville for the last two summers!
Nice, well I'll have to shoot you a PM when I make it down this summer to band some goshawks and if I'm around the area during the winter I'll see if we can't hunt some chucker together. Do you stay on the California side only? I assume you've gotta be making it out to the better parts of Nevada. I was out there hunting chucker this winter when they were all on the valley floor. Such a different experience than I am used to chasing them up the damned mountain haha.

Yeah no doubt... I live by the airport in Chester. I also am a chukar hunting nut.

Nice report and great pictures! It's gotta be a leap of faith and a great confidence in your abilities to be a full-time guide. I would have thought business would be better in the Lost Coast, especially with the kind of clientele that the Elk guiding gets up here (20K).

Hey Matt, welcome to the group. Scope your messages. I need some tips and maybe a dive buddy if your free sometime late June/early July.

I read your PM before this. Late June/July may work for me. Keep in touch. Regardless, I know a few places I'll share. Haven't been out this whole last year because I was taking time to get my new pup a good first hunting season. My breathold probably sucks hard now...

Howdy Matt. We met at the UPS store the other day. You’re in a good spot.

Hey! Should have joined this thing years ago. Glad to know there are folks from way north up here

Any word on when the stay might be lifted again? I can't find any updates on it that are clear.

On the worst day those cookie cutter 13 inchers will slam Senkos. Underspin swimbaits are good too.

Thanks for the tip!
I was throwing my finesse jigs in craw colors and thought I could finagle a bite on the tiny whopperplopper...I like the bites I can get with a ned rig, but it's so boring.

thanks for the report, where did you launch from?

Jones's Valley Boat Ramp. I headed east up the Pit River Arm. Man did I pick the wrong time to load back up. Right when I got my kayak and truck on the boat launch, they came around the corner to launch a huge houseboat.

Welcome
Don't forget the wetsuit and booties and other safety gear for your ocean adventures.

Thanks for the tip. Thankfully, I've been freediving for a number of years up here. Can't wait to spearfish from my kayak!

General Talk / Bass Fishing in Humboldt County

« on: April 19, 2019, 02:00:34 PM »

I know HSU has a bass fishing team, but other than the few folks I run into, it seems like hardly anyone puts in any time in the freshwater up here for anything, but stocked trout.

Who is up in Humboldt fishing bass, and is does anyone know what happened to the topwater bite at freshwater lagoon? Seems to have disappeared for the last two weeks.
