- This was my first time out in a few weeks and the rust was showing. Had camera issues and sound issues due to wind. Forecast was supposed to be 2-5mph winds and it was closer to 10-15mph. For a full report: bayareafinesse...
Gear used for this fight:
Shimano 2022 Aldebaran BFS reel
Major Craft Finetail UL rod
Varivas 4 0.6gou line
2.5g Cheburashka ("Cheb") Rig
Bait:
Kana Fishing 1.4" Stoneflies (Black & Gold): bayareafinesse...
Woo wee gotta love the aldes clicker sound. Loved seeing the bend on that Finetail rod as well! Nice fish as well to boot!
Funny you say that... The drag on the Cormorant reminds me of the Aldebaran ;)
@@BayAreaBFS hey Sean! Haha yea the sound is pretty close. I’d say the Aldebaran is just ever so slightly more pleasant to hear but that’s just personal preference. I still love the performance that the cormorant has to offer over the Aldebaran. In any case, lookin forward to that video!
Sorry about the sound, but still nice video! So you are slow trolling the 2.5g jig? How fast?
Thanks brother. For this fish, I was essentially drifting with the wind and jigging
Wow that looks fun on the BFS gear! I need to try this one day. I love that camera. Is editing hard to do with that cam?
It definitely takes extra effort since videos need to be edited twice. It's fun though
Please advise what line counter you recommend for trout trolling. Thanks!
Hey Steve. I don't have line counters on my BFS gear. I use a Daiwa Lexa LC100 for my Kokanee/trout trolling gear
@@BayAreaBFSthanks!
Hi love your channel. I mostly bass fish and have been doing so for 30 plus years. Mainly a delta guy. I’m teaching my kids ages 9 and 6 fishing. Casting in the delta ca be hard- too many snags. So I tried trout with them at a couple of local lakes. What I’ve noticed is that they are not able to cast the lures very well. Anything that is 1/16” - 1/8” they have trouble with. I run a 5.5 foot Claris and a 1000 Sedona for them on 4lbs. But things like mini Jings and small rapala can only go so far. And the wind up with tangles and getting frustrated when the fish are butting. Any tips on rod reel and lure selection that would help. I’m able to catch fish w/o kids no issue. But I’m in the teaching stage and want them to be successful so that they are lifers. I’ll trade you a delta large mouth trip on a bass boat for trout tips … 😂
Hi Nelson - First of all, thank you for your kind message. This is what makes me continue to make videos. For recommendations, I taught my kids to throw 3.5g spoons using a 5-6.5ft medium fast action rod and small Pflueger reels (size 500 or 1000) with 4lbs test Izorline XXX Co-polymer. I only fill the spool with about 70-80% of line capacity. For rods, I have them on Bass Pro UL graphite rods (can't remember the model name but they were inexpensive). Kids have a tendency to try and cast hard. I helped them understand the key is like throwing a ball at someone who's about 10ft away. The medium fast action rod will add the extra distance to their cast. As they become more comfortable with the casting motion, they can try to "throw the ball" about 15ft and so on. This helps to minimize those bird nests. The less line on spool also helps to minimize the size of the bird nest. Will still happen. It's a learning process. I'm taking my kids to Collins Lake this week to knock some casting rust off of them. Most likely will be doing the same steps I described above. Less is more. Hope this helps. Tight lines. 🙂
Awesome… thanks for the tips. I’m still teaching them on spinning rods for now. I try to fill the spool less and focus on 3.5 spoons. I think the 1/16 and 1/32 mini jigs are just too light. I almost went to Collins this past weekend. Never been. But have a campsite reserved at 210 area in June. heard closer to the dam is better. Good luck out there !! Thanks again.
@@nelsonlui5888 Yep. Spinning reels 100%. It will be easier when they can feel the weight at 3.5g. 5g might be too much. 1/32 definitely too light.
Dead fish sinks into the depths like jack from titanic “and…hes..off”
That fish dead bruh
Ha! I swear he swam off.
