Evening Folks

Got RockCod? We did on our 1.5 Day trip on the American Angler with Captain Brian Kiyohara and the crew. We had a great group with a gang of new folks to the boat along with the Usual Suspects.

The group was geeked to go fishing wanting to get their licks in on the 08 RockCod Season. The plan was to run down the beach and fish below the fleet on some of the stones off Colonet for RockCod Critters. We had good weather the entire trip, an outstanding group, and the usual great service from Brian and the Crew. It was good times.

Fishing was good in the morning. We ended up with a grip load of Reds, Staries, Lings, White Fish, a Sheephead, and a couple of nice yellows. After the morning session, we went offshore with news of yellows under the paddies. We stopped on a few and managed a few Bonitos.

We want to thank the following folks for their generous donations for our trip.

Thanks again Lori and the Amercian Angler Crew for another stellar time. The "New Kids on the Block" really enjoyed their first trip on the Angler, and the regulars had a great time coming back to their familiar scene. The o8 Season is here - Let's Go fish!!!

What's up guys,

Some pics from the past week. There was a pretty good jig bite when you could get to the spots. Yellows, amberjacks, huachinango and cabrilla were all chewing, also the biggest sierra I have ever seen. 6X Salas was the money jig for me and pops was killing it on a CP105. We got absolutely demolished by some of the amberjacks.

Enjoy,

Greg

Great trip G
Ed has got to be fired up after that trip.........Exotics galore.

Bob it was nice talking to you today, I got your logo up.

These fish were caught in the middle of March with Sierra Drifters Guide Service http://www.sierradrifters.com/ owner Tom Loe. I would highly recommend his operation for anyone that fishes the Bishop area, he’s the real deal, and as good as it gets.

I was up their fishing with two of my good friends Craig Holmes, Mike Casey that fish long range on the American Angler with me. We fished two days for around 6 hours a day catching beautiful Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, we landed approximately 80 fish all released. The fish were all caught on 6wt. Sage fly rods on a Ranger flats boat, about half of the fish were 24” – 30” in size.

Yes it snowed, rained, wind blew, and it was sunny all at the same time.
I guess we could call that 4 seasons fishing.

Nice Report Barry.

To All,

I hope your all doing well. Lately I've been figuring out how to catch the elusive Lake Tahoe Brown Trout!! Attached are a few pics of fish (6.5, 7.75, & 10.75 lbs. from top to bottom) that my clients had the pleasure of catching.

Enjoy!

Hey Bob heres a pic of a perch i just caught south of venice pier. Got it on a small grn/mac crocodile. Not sure if it was on the stike or later on, but the poor bugga got the trebles stuck in its eye. So i bagged this one. Normally let most of the big ones go and keep the smaller ones. Hehe . . . sorry no picture with me again like normal.

Hey Bob,

My Friend Ryan and Ted, pro-staffers for Daiwa just fished Pyramid Lake in Nevada. Dude, those are some awesome cutthroats. Do you think you can post that on the newsletter?

Greetings,

Our first trip to Pyramid Lake was a major success! The four of us sat down, compared notes, and agreed that we landed approximately 120 cutts over the course of our trip. Most of the fish were in the 22 - 24" range with Ted taking the big fish honors with a 28", 8.25 pound cutt landed on the first day. The 3, 4 and 5 pound fish were so common we treated them like we do 16" fish on Crowley. It was that good.

I don't have the photos of Ted's fish so whoever does please send them to me along with any other photos you have the trip.

Check out how Stoked these guys are.....

Here is a link to a gallery that I am building for the trip....
