View Full Version : My First Shogun Tournament
Finally got a chance to fish in my first Shogun Tournament. Chose to fish on Friday in George's bass boat. Started in Hilton with a few small (1 pounders which is the standard Crowley trout). Moved into the West Shores in 12 feet of water (just south of the drop off) where we caught and released over 30 fish. When the bite slowed down, we moved deeper, into 15 feet of water (again, just south of the drop off). I nailed a 2 pound 10 ounce fish, good enough for 39th place. My brother-in-law, Jim, caught a 3 pounder and finished 25th. The 2 winning fish were a 6+ and a 5# 10 oz browns caught on the troll. A fun tournament. Plan to fish it again next year but with my kids.

Thanks for the report, I was wondering how the fishing was there. I am going to be up there the week of 8/4 and I haven't seen many Crowley reports especially one like this.
What were the fish biting on and were there any perch in the mix?

congrats on tournament. where did you hear about it?
I eat that Robbie Tani's restaurants (Shogun in Mammoth and Yamatani in Bishop) a few times a year and I've gotten to know them. I've known about this tournament for years but this is the first time I've fished it. I really like his Bishop place. After dinner, try dropping off your business card with Robbie and that should get you in...
