I can most definitely do a review of it if you like.

I was switching between 2 and 3 oz weights the setback on the line varied. If I recall correctly it was around 75ft setback to get down to depth.

@@rustycompassadventures thank you

@@geno8150 you’re welcome.

I love being up here. It’s so peaceful!

Haha!! 🤣

For koanee salmon I usually keep it between 1.2 and 1.4 very similar to trout. I like to go in a. Zigzag pattern while trolling. A lot of the times you can get a bite in the middle of the turn. As far as depth goes if I remember correctly we were at 35’. However I’m sure since then the fish have gone deeper due summer heat making the lake a little warmer. It’s a Great Lake to fish but right now it’s extremely crowded during summer season. Once the temps start dropping again the recreational boaters will start to leave.

@@rustycompassadventures how will the fishing up there change here at the end of summer? Worth it to wait it out? Also, thank you for all that info, super appreciated

@@ryant6220 the fishing maintains fairly decently throughout the year so going at the end of summer isn’t a bad idea. The only thing I would say is late summer early fall the Kokanee are hard to reach as they go deeper. I would still check the fishing reports prior to going. Just like any other lake the fish can go from having a great bite to just having lockjaw. It’s happened to me a lot up there. I would say the best time to fish this lake is definitely in the spring time before it gets really busy up there. Huntington lake is a great option as a backup lake since it’s higher elevation and maintains slightly cooler temps and way less people. And your welcome always happy to answer any questions

@@rustycompassadventures thank you man I appreciate you so much!!!

Definitely plan on it if you visit California. They aren’t that far off the beaten path.

My pleasure 😊

The heat has been pretty brutal especially when there is no wind. Once the wind kicks up it's nowhere near as bad. Honestly it's been a weird summer, each time I have headed out to this lake there haven't been that many boats or kayaks in the water.

Awesome. The fact that this was only a few days ago is super motivating 🙏🏼

The bite is on fire out there. If you can get it in front of them they are taking it.

For sure I can definitely work on getting something like that recorded. It’s not complex but it’s definitely cheaper than some of the alternatives out there. It’s a great trailer for hauling the kayak around.

It was jaw dropping to see water this clear.

Thank you. It has been an odd summer out there. I’ve been finding it to be pretty relaxed out at this lake over the summer. Normally there are more people on the weekends but that hasn’t been the case. The other lakes like pine flat and millerton have been getting all the attention. Fine by me I enjoy a pleasant quiet day on the water.

@@rustycompassadventures don't forget about shaver. Lol. Is it hot out there on Eastman?

@@Sawdustsailor I have two videos in shaver already. Once the commotion dies down up there I will make another trip out there. Eastman right now is super hot. I saw the weather report and it was like 110 out there.

3:30 to be exact. lol.

Nope definitely Courtright. Wishon’s dam is much wider and the dome on the right side is voyager rock which belongs to courtright.

@@rustycompassadventures crazy. Happy fishing

Thank you for the feedback. I’m still getting comfortable being in front of the camera. Just a little camera shy. Eventually I’ll get comfortable enough. Hopefully soon.

You're literally wearing a mask in your profile pic

@@vgee3926 profile picture is of my son on a cold morning of fishing hence the beanie. What does that have to do with anything?

That’s what I was thinking. So sad. But that’s my fault for not tightening up the drag a little more.

Either a huge bass or a catfish

@@dominiconate528 I’m thinking more like catfish. It didn’t really feel like a bass on the other end the way it was fighting.

@@rustycompassadventures hey I have a question how much does it cost to launch there?

@@dominiconate528 Its $10 every day. $40 for the year pass though. So if your going to head out there more than 4 times its worth it. The pass gives you access to other lakes in the area as well.

Shhhh keep it a secret. Haven’t done the unmasking yet. lol.

Thank you so much! That means a lot! It’s never too late to make some kayak content! Been fishing out of my kayak for a few years and just got the itch to start filming it all so I can share with everyone else.

Thank You!

KEESHINE is the brand. If you type in KEESHINE tackle box on Amazon you will find it. The ones I use are the larger size options to choose from. It should be this size. (Size: 7.8" L x 4.2" W x 1.8" H). Hope this helps.

@@rustycompassadventures thank you for the reply!

@@seanmarvin5348 your welcome! Anytime!

I'm glad you liked it! Everyone has their own way of managing tackle on the water. You end up refining it over time. It will always continue to evolve and change.

I thought I had my POV camera mounted further down and was tryhing to get that angle. I will try to adjust for future videos.
