General Fishing Tips / Whiskeytown this Saturday 3/16/24
« on: March 13, 2024, 11:15:01 AM »
I'm planning on chasing Kokanee in Whiskeytown this Saturday. I have leadcore spooled up and ready to go. It's been moderately cold and super rainy the last couple months over there. High water in Whiskeyton now. But it's warming up this week and supposed to be pushing 70 by Saturday. Any intel on general zones to focus/depths/presentations would be appreciated! I'm planning on trolling in the hobie.

General Fishing Tips / Costa Rica this December
« on: October 10, 2023, 07:38:45 AM »
I’m going to Costa Rica this December for a week! Looking at going to Tamarindo for the first half of the trip and stay in a hostel/surf. I’d love to get out on a boat to hook and line or spearfish. Any recommendations? I’m also trying to see as much as I can down there hikes/wildlife-wise.
Thanks!
Max

Wanted To Buy / Re: Hobie V2 mirage drive

Ok they are called “sprocket guards”. These are what I’m looking for.

Awesome, I can pay you shipping. I also hand-tie rockfish flies. I’d like to send you some if you’d like!

Awesome, I’m looking for the idler pulley and the rudder shrouds (plastic sleeves on the top of the rudder that keep the chain aligned).

I’m looking for a hobie mirage drive V2 for parts. Drive can be non-operational, it’s hard to find the parts I’m looking for.

General Talk / Re: Oregon Ocean Coho?

Thanks for all of the great detailed information Clayman! And for the tip on bait. The cut-plug lures were my go-to for ocean Chinook out of Shelter Cove for a good while, due to the bycatch. Great action.

Looks like I will give it a go this year with my buddy and fellow NCKAer fishloomis.

General Talk / Oregon Ocean Coho?
« on: June 04, 2023, 12:17:41 PM »
I’m thinking of trying my luck off the southern Oregon coast for coho salmon this summer. Anyone tried off the yak in Oregon for coho? I’m looking for spots between Brookings and Coos bay.

Any tips on good ports/fisheries in this zone would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Max

Folks,
Time to gear up for rockfishing and halibut this May. I've got flies and sandlance coming and made on request. Some locals here in Humboldt County say the sandlance is also excellent for CA halibut.
Hit me up,
Max

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Cape Mendo 12/17/22
« on: December 17, 2022, 02:53:40 PM »
Chris and I had a slow start to the morning today, rolled out of Eureka around 930 and launched at the cape around 1130. Fishing was hot. We pulled in a few lings and jumbo rockfish for the first hour. I took a second to take a picture of Chris with lake conditions on the big blue. And then I heard a holy sh*t and a big splash while I was taking the shot and I looked up. The landlord had made an unexpected appearance out of nowhere. It lifted Chris’s front end up, circled back around once aggressively and made another pass. Chris was quick to poke it with his fishing rod and it was gone. Both our adrenaline was pumping and we headed straight back inshore. My first time seeing a white. Neither of us will forget this day.

Thank you for continuing to share your incredible adventures. I truly appreciate your dedication to our local ecosystem and perspective on our fishes. It is a noble stance and you are a noble man.
Continue my friend,

They are made for trolling but a slow “trooch” behind a banana weight works well too…

Curious about the sandlance. Are these meant to be trolled or can you drift?

Will do Eric! Looks like you had a great day down there on Saturday. Chrome envy is real…
So at the cove soon!

Trolled the sand lance behind an 8oz banana and a small 6" silver dodger this weekend.

Didnt find chrome but caught limits of verm, ling, and some shorty cali halis on that rig. Super fun little fly you made man.

I coated it in the herring grease scent and sent it down behind that dodger maybe 24" to give it some nice action, so nice not worrying about checking bait all the time, this thing worked out sooo well. Great product and changing leaders on it is super simple due to the way you attached the back hook. Cant do that with mooching rigs, I have to swap them out every time the leader gets chafed.

Will need more soon. Lost one fly to the rocks and my current setup is chewed to shit but still working lol.

Testimony! 

I would be all over your flies if not for my bait addiction, Max.  Please push a pack on me when you see me at the Cove, and I'll thrown down the Jacksons.   :smt001

Sounds like there were some nice grade fish hanging around Irish beach just north of point arena. Anyone have any intel on launching near that location?
