Thanks for the tips. 

I'll be at "Campground by the Lake".  I've nudged you in the past about info and finally am going to get to make it out.

Any suggestion for lures out of those spots?  I'm fine with Kokanee or Macks.

I'm thinking a flutter or diamond jig that I typically use for rockfish.  I don't have a reel counter though.

From campground by the lake I'd head to the shelves off of Nevada beach to the east or the Tahoe Keys to the west.  We use small jigs usually 1-4oz for macks, tipped with a live minnow.  Most rockfish jigs will do fine or even kastmasters. Having the live minnow seems to be much more important than the jig itself.

Lake Tahoe Kayaks will be at DL Bliss State Park Saturday Sept 8th for another Demo Day/ Fish and Chill. Fishing Team will be out by 6am. There will be a variety of Jackson Kayak models available including: Liska, Kraken, Coosa HD, Coosa FD, Cuda HD, Mayfly and Big Tuna. The Blue Sky Boatworks Angler 360 will also be available. Now is the perfect time to demo equipment since all 2018 Jackson Kayaks are 15% off and all demo models are going up for sale. Demo hourly fees apply but are waived if Kayak is purchased.

The 2018 demo is a 13, Rockfish color only used a few times.  I have multiple 15 Elites. They are a few model years old. 2 still new, in Sunrise and Sexy Shad colors.  4 used, sunrise, camo, lime green, and purple/blue/pink color ways.  The lime green has a landing gear installed.  I have optional rudder kits that I can work a deal on if you'd like. I will get a price list together when I get a chance. Shoot me a text at 530-314-3523 and I'll get prices and pics to you if you'd like.

Thanks

FriedKalamari,

-We use Hostess crumb donuts in our traps
-Traps can fill up quickly, had over 100 in mine the other day after just a few minute soak
-Yes hook through the nose and they tend to stay alive for a long time

Traildad, Feel free to ask for specifics but I'll do my best to provide some tips. For starters we usually jig for the macks with anything from a 1/2 ounce- 4ounce jig depending on variables like depth, wind, etc.  We always tip our jigs with live minnows( caught only in Tahoe, cannot use live bait not caught in Tahoe). We jig along shelves and potholes along the bottom. The Macks are deep this time of year.  If you are rigged with a downrigger you can use a set of flashers with a minnow in tow. Sonar is a must.
For the Kokanee this time of year head out from Edgewood or the Keys and run a set of flashers with a wedding ring or something similar tipped with shoepeg corn that has been soaked in something like procure.  The Kokanee will soon start staging off of Taylor creek and the bite will be real good. Right now we are finding them anywhere from 40-80ft down.
You are always welcome to call me at 530-314-3523 and I'll be able to answer any questions much quicker than I can on here.

LoletaEric, Yes the full parking can present some pros and cons for sure. Most people that are fishing will be there well before the parking fills up though. This last weekend was especially busy do to Yosemite being closed. We will be out there every other Sunday for the rest of the season if you'd like to join us on a slower weekend later in the year.

Hope to meet some of you out there!
