Went out to San luis last saturday evenning. Me and my cousins caught a total of 3 stripers in the 30 inch to 37 inch range off of basalt. Other people fishing in the area also caught the same size stripers. We were dunking anchovies and blown up blood worms. We probably caught and release more then...

On Weds. my dad and uncles were fishing across from the dam and some people who were fishing on the dam were forced to move out. The dam is off limit. Most of the people fish the dam at night. Rangers and security are rarely there on the weekends. If they do see you they will ask you to move out.

I use to go in the mornnings, but lately I have been going in the evenning to night. Last week there was a striper boil close to the dam. Stripers were smashing from left to right. It was not small boil, but loud splashes everywhere next to the dam. I'm going back there today. We'll see what happens...

Been going out there last week. I think 3 times last week and caught limits each time. Last Sunday, went out at 4pm to basalt area and witness striper boil close to the dam at around 7-8pm. None of my buddies wanted to walk the distance with me. Totally regret not walking to the boil.

Ok my wife called me from her work and told me that her friends husband went fishing last night at San luis Res. Caught close to 50 stripers 18inch and up with pictures. The strange thing is that her friend said there is no limit to stripers right now and you can catch as much as you want???????????...

I'm from fresno too. I was fishing Pine flat Lake as well. What I did notice was that when I was catching them the fish was shallow. Like 5-10ft of water. Anything beyond that was quiet. Instead of texas rigged senko, I was throwing them wacky style. Natural shad was my go to color. funny..same thin...

Went out yesterday to do some bass fishing. Launched at 4pm. Bass was hitting from like 4:30pm to around 6:30pm. Did really good tossing senkos, but had a difficult time with a few things: 1. bass size were mostly 10-12 inches. 2. Threw senkos for about 2 hours then it seemed like the bite slowed do...

I went out to the aqueduct today and caught one 19incher and dropped by the forebay fished under the bridge and caught some 15 and 16 inchers. Was ...

When walking the bank or shoreline. Are you more comfortable with one or two rods? I find it difficult having to carry one rod and fishing one rod. I purchased one of those Bass pro shop back packs where there are two straps to strap the second rod to it, but find it a pain in the butt when I have t...

In this thread I just wanted to collect an idea "Go to" lure for Striper. When you first get to the lake what is your first lure you trust the most to start out fishing? Let me share my 2 cents. When out on the water my first lure I will throw is a jerk bait. I love throwing lucky craft 10...

walking, from talking to friends that went last week caught 4 10-15 lbs stripers on white super flukes.

Does anyone know if stripers will go for DD crankbaits to spinnerbaits? I usually use flukes, rip baits/jerk baits, and small swimbaits, but I just wanted to try something different. Planning to go out this weekend to san luis.

Luckyfisherman

Planning to go this friday night getting there around 7pm and fishing the night time. Thinkiing of throwing lake fork tackle spoon and throw bbz 1 jr.. Other buddies will be throwing super flukes. Besides the standard rip bait. Will stripers go for deep diving crankbaits?

What is the Calcutta 400 "S" Series. Is this a good reel? I won one off of ebay for 95 dollars. Hows this reel compared to the "TE" and the "B" series? I tried to research, but couldn't really find anything on it?

I have been fishing Pine Flat Lake near Fresno, CA. for the last 2 years that I have fished that lake I have caught nothing, but small to medium size bass. What am I doing wrong. Most bass weigh from 1lb to 3lbs. I have never come close to any 7-10 lbers in that lake. Anyone using different type of ...

Wanted to warn everyone about buying anything from this guy. Bought some line from Ryan Elliott (deisel722003) 704-564-0043 . He cashed the check December 9th and I have not received anything.

Luckyfisherman

yes, setup a paypal account. It will save you plenty. I never purchase things like this with anything else, but paypal. Thats the first thing that I ask for is if the seller has a paypal account. If the seller does not then I ask if their local seller. If not then I'll pass on the deal no matter how...

what if your on a budget and cannot afford a calcutta 400?

Luckyfisherman

yea, that is strange for me as well. Last year I went out there and fished the dam all evenning till midnight and had no problems, but the rules are rules. Don't want to get in trouble.

Luckyfisherman

You can fish off your boat near the dam, but you cannot be fishing off of any structure on the dam.

Luckyfisherman

Okay, I finally called the san luis state park headquarters and the park ranger I spoke with stated that fishing off the dam is prohibited. People fishing off the dam are trespassing and will get fined. Anyways I guess I'll be finding new spots to fish because I wouldn't want to pay up to 500 dollar...

Luckyfisherman

Hi, for those that fish at San Luis res. does anyone know if fishing off the dam is prohibited? I have been getting mixed messages. Some people say you can and some say you can't. One Park ranger stated you can as long as your not walking on top of the dam and fishing close to the water where as ano...
