Hi karlkrger, thanks for your report and video cool. The fish you caught looked like a nice bow & no:Skunk:. Maybe you will be able to hammer those fish next time.

i need to head up there soon..so many quality fish in that place!
I was up there with karl and hate to say it but I doubt I'd go back. He was telling me the last time he was there they caught nice fish but they had rocks in their stomachs which tells me they're starving. Further I saw several floaters down where I was. The bite may have been better if the winds were down but I'm iffy on the fish there.

A LOT of the lassen and calaveras fish have rocks int here stomachs. they do it for the same reason cows do...to help digest food.

I was really confused when I started seeing this at alot of the local lakes. the only places ive seen this are those lakes that get fish from those two companies. I talked to one of the gentlemen dumping fish at guasti a while back and they explained it too me.

Yeah that to me is a sign of starvation more than it is a thing you'd think fish would do.

wouldn't starvation mean fish to be caught? I dont see it as an issue, but i understand what your saying..

Don't be afraid to drop shot and use short leaders! I been fishing that lake solid this month and its been awesome. I used to fish that lake alot until ,they shut the water down. Now that is back the fishing is back. Already two ten pounders, and have been getting about 12 fish a trip. They key is short leader, no more than
8". its not really a bait lake.........working plastics produces 90% of my fish. Don't cast to far either. as far as bait goes.....bright colors with scent....lots of scent. I like the "Bite on garlic" and the "Yum" garlic ail. Talk to Pete in the morning he knows what's working and where.

well ive been to north shore and shunked it 3 times in a row. thats a lot of shunk there.. lol..i found a spot of the lake that i really like. i want to try the far far north end of the lake. over by were that tree caught fire on sunday. lol some dumb *** threw a smoke in the tree stump and it caught fire. it was dumb. fire dept came. i have to chill on the fishing because money is not what i like seeing right now. cant afford to fish. i got all the baits and what ive been doing is offering to drive some of the buddies. pick them up and drop them off. and they are nice enough to pay. but either way wont be doing any fishing anytime soon that i can see in my future.
