Thanks David. Only did a few like that. One was a Rio Vista Striper trip. Not sure boss, when editing think it was the 2 or 3 fish surface far back on the right side. Looked a bit like Bass colors. Grant you was too far/blurred for me to be certain. One thing for sure one of those last LARGE Fish sure looked like a FAT Carp to me! So worried if I cast Carp bait, like Corn or Oatmeal Mix that if no Carp bite. Nothing else will. Reason I rarely cast for Carp. Perhaps it's not that bad? Ken

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 Bluegill will hit corn. Carp also bite on worms. I love fishing for carp the biggest so far is 15 lbs. I use a oatmeal corn pack bait with corn or tiger nuts as hook bait. They are great fighters. Take care

Thanks for the info boss! Been hearing that more than not about Lodi Lake. I took a raft in it some years back. Clear water day, in a good 40% of the locations we could see bottom. Nearly saw no fish. Same with the Shore Line. First two times I fished it some 3+ years back I only casted for Sunfish. Caught MAD fast action and LOTS of TINY Bluegill. Since... fished in maybe 4 times. Most times skunked. Then what you've seen. Grant you never casted the Senko out for Bass. But other Bass baits yea. Really you've caught Crappie there?

Thanks for the advice! Right on... with the bobbers I just stopped using them so long ago. Nearly forget about them. Actually kind of the same with Split Shots. Though with the 2oz weight with the Nightcrawler was trying to get some range. Wasn't sure on the currents. Drop shot with Red Worm avoided them well. Still solid advice!

Thank you kindly! Despite this fishing day I do indeed love that Lake/River! Sounds like we both do heh. Yes to my understanding they are. May want to double check though. Thanks for chilling! Ken

I heard that! That location was a stick graveyard. Lucky there was one clearing right up the middle. Though with your point, wonder if Teriyaki would work on them? Deep fried. We might have something here!! I'll hit the Cook Books let me know if you come up with something! We got this!! Dang Fish and Bluegill were in the way though... Glad you were with us to see that fine catch, most would have never believed it! Ken & Lea

@JohnAnderson-Catfish have fun dealing with skin cancer then clown 🤡

Have fun dealing with skin cancer then clown 🤡

Don't let the door hit you on the way out! For the record, questions are the beginning of wisdom. Perhaps you should have asked before assuming. Safe to assume as to you don't have a CLUE as to why it was being worn.

Thank you kindly! We love sharing them! Ken & Lea

We would make the videos for just us. But we prefer to share them, because we're sharing the fishing adventures, I spend the time editing them to be presentable. Believe me the RAW footage is horrible heh. Try to make them Fishing Videos, but also kind of like a Movie or Production. An honor having you with us! Ken & Lea

At first I was like, great here we go again another C... talker. Then I read the last 3 words. Hahaha yeah I heard that man! Was killing me seeing all those surfaces but not taking what I was casting. Funny at times I'll actually cast out Red Worms on a Drop Shot when I first get to a fishing spot. More often than not when the Sunfish/Bluegill weren't biting quickly. It would often be a bad fishing day. I know... perhaps coincidence? What you been targeting as of late? Btw near the end did you see that MASSIVE fish surface? Fairly surely was a Carp but had to zoom so much it blurred some. Ken & Lea

Well the top water action was! They're surely there and active! Probably get some other spots in but return in a month or so back here. We have an idea how to hook up on some. Got a feeling few of those were Bass of decent size. The BIG one at the end jumping, pretty sure was a LARGE Carp. Think that was a Carp? Has to zoom a good 350% so it blurred some.

That fall turnover is coming in, those top waters, underspins, etc… are boutta be really good in these upcoming months. I think even at this spot, making some balls of bread and throwing them out on a circle hook would be a smart idea too !

@@onefaith487 Yeah I hear you! Didn't bring much or anything in the way of Carp bait that time. Didn't even bring the Anchovies. Only realized the Nightcrawlers were dead when I got there. Least the Red Worms were fresh heh. One thing that always worried me about Carp fishing. That I figured ONLY Carp would bite on Corn, Oatmeal Balls, Raisins and so on. So if no Carp were biting it'd be a dead fishing day.

@@onefaith487 Seeing all the fish surfacing mainly the large one or two really makes you want to cast out there. Shocked I couldn't get anything to bite the 3 different Lures I tossed out.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 that’s how I felt yesterday I was throwing whopper ploppers, jigs and frogs and couldn’t get no bites and the fish weren’t even really feeding neither except for the small bluegill

Right on! Yup we're very local then... Recon you'll see a fair amount of places you're familiar with or within driving range for you. We'll have more "new" upcoming locations to add to the adventures! Glad you're hanging with us..... Shout out from California to California! Ken & Lea

You mean him not throw one? Well moments after he caught it he was so excited and I was right in his face trying to film and aid him. Didn't really give him a chance to free it. I knew it was unwise of me, but always lived it a bit rougher. Btw the Barb did go into the finger. I used some technique to free it past the Barb. Been known to go with broken bones at times. Till pain became unbearable. Once that was 2 weeks. Still the smart person would go to the ER heh. Hope you're enjoying the vids! Ken & Lea

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 I’m not talking about him freeing it I’m just saying being able to take out the treble hook, because treble’s are hard to handle if you don’t use them. If he would’ve just lipped the fish he could’ve easily taken that out or could’ve helped you take it out. As soon as you got hooked he was scared to grab the fish still. I’m just saying for a person that is not comfortable with holding/handling a fish to not throw a treble bait if they can’t get a hold of the fish and risk injuring themselves or in this case, somebody else badly. I Love the videos though man, hope to come across you guys one day !

@@onefaith487 Yeah that's kind of what I thought you were saying. Again he was excited, also seems a bit young. I do agree with the firm and quick grasp of the lower lip. I knew when I made that move good chance if the Bass put some efforts in shaking I'm liking to get a hook. Was willing to help the guy out, really though I could pop the hook quick enough. Should have masked my movements from the fish. Funny thing is the day was slow for everyone think most of us went into lazy mode not paying attention. He was stunned when he hooked it, think we all were. I had JUST tossed about 50 casts in the area with 2 different lures. He was about 15 casts in. My bad long winded. Right on thanks for that! Truely an honor! Btw.... the hook did indeed hurt.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 haha, man those hooks will get ya man. But I feel it, that brain fog begins to kick in when you haven’t caught Jack after so many casts. Well man, better luck next time go get em harder, stoked for the next upload 🔥 push noti’s on !

@@onefaith487 Hah, man that's pretty much what happened. Just wasn't thinking much on it. Had the film and bad fishing on mind. No joke a moment before I reached for that hook I considered it. SOOO thought I could clear that hook quick enough! Still a great spot when the bite is on! Can get HOT out there though. Got next vid coming out very soon, didn't go as well as I wanted. Hope the vid will still be entertaining. Got next trips in the works... thanks boss again an honor! Without you all we'd just stop posting the vids. P.S. from time to time even we watch some of them, perhaps to find how that time of year previous years did. Also if we forgot a set up we had used. My bad long winded. Ken & Lea

This spot is ok for kids, if they are very young do be careful as it's an easy spot for kids that are too young to fall in the water. The small pier maybe a good choice. Course if they're not that young it's indeed a great place! No shade cover though.... parking is $5 and weekend/holidays is $6. They check the cars parked everyday to make sure everyone paid. Letting you know cause they get upset when people don't pay the parking fee. Wish you the best, and let us know how it goes there! Ken & Lea

It does look a lot like one. What do you think of this idea, MAYBE it's a Warmouth/Green Sunfish hybrid? I mean the head looks like a Warmouth to a degree. Been awhile since I seen either. We've caught roughly 15 Green Sunfish to date and 12 Warmouth. So been some time. Thanks for the input all helps!! Ken & Lea

Can't recall the street and there is no address. Umm it is in Stockton going Westwards on 8 Mile Road. Can't recall if it's one of the rivers or the end of 8 Mile where you make a left. Also some spots in that area you can park and fish. Some parts are no parking. It is somewhat enforced. We hope you enjoy the Fishing Vids! Ken & Lea

Ahhh you referring to the Whale that got stuck in Rio Vista? If so and you got to see it then surely amazing. I recon many came to see it, but since it was there but 2-3 months. People that actually got to see that whale, well that'd be rare! I was watching the News from San Jose during that time. How did the Striper end up doing that day?

@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 stripper fishing back then was a lot better. I think that we limited out. We use to use live bullhead back then.

@@Kevin-zl7rg I hear you... haven't heard of using live Bullheads, have heard of live Mudsuckers. Way back when you're talking was closer to my Hunting days. Didn't do much Fishing back then. We sure do now though heh. Is Striper your favorite fish to target?

@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 not necessarily. I do all types of fishing. I went to Alaska in June with my son and did some halibut and salmon fishing. We got two fifty pound halibut that were awesome. I fish New Hogan Lake a lot for stripper and do quite well.

@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 If you would like to go to New Hogan with me on my boat someday, let me know. I've never been skunked there.

Actually we had some with us, and I agree! Just when we set that one up on another trip when we didn't have them with us. Now we did just didn't feel like cutting the line till it broke off heh. Thanks for the note, yeah recon you heard they closed down Haps Bait shop.

Right on thanks for the info! It's strange just with the idea they drain the main lake every year. Fact that with often times clear water you can see, no or very few fish. So does make one wonder, can it maintain a decent or even good number of fish? So I was thinking, they probably don't drain the back canal/Mokelumne. So figured more likely fish can set up there and not be forced out. Still the 1st fish caught was the 1st we've ever caught of it! Maybe now caught 7 of the 27 different Sunfish. Sorry long winded, agreed LOVE Lodi Lake. It's a stunner in the heart of town! Thanks we'll work on that good buddy!

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 the river feeds from Comanche Reservoir, which feeds the lake. They shut the flow off every now and then and the river itself does slow to a literal trickle. My family and I have gone out on the sandbanks that are left and play around. There are some pretty deep areas out there and awesome features that you can’t see when full. Really opens up the fishing areas when you can see the features, you get a real feel for where they can hide and school up. But still super hit and miss with that knowledge lol.

@@CR3WDUD3_OFFICIAL Yeah so perhaps referring it as to the Moke at that point isn't accurate. Moke dips into Camanche/Parde first, then into Lodi Lake? Or so I thought heh. Sounds like some serious fun. The sandbars and all. Umm we did take an inflatable LONG ago hunting Sunfish. Lots of action, not sure on the sizes heh. Think even showed the plants in the clear water, maybe some underwater footage. Can't recall. I'll TRY to put a link to that trip in here. It's two part: th-cam.com/video/Zl77H7GRS7Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/fCfr7vCl_Xo/w-d-xo.html

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 the river does start WAAAAY up in the hills for sure. I was just using the lake for reference to the draining lol. Good luck out on your adventures and maybe we will run across out at Lodi Lake sometime. Be safe in your travels!

Thanks for the info! If this is true then I'll try there and other spots. Was some edge to going to the back area. Little more quiet there... you fish that lake much? Ever catch Trout from there? Outside of that we hope you're enjoying the videos, tight lines!

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 I like your video, choice of music, your friendly and brief to the point commentary and those colors shading in beginning. Last time I finished this lake was 24/25 years ago, back then so many fish if you sits down near the water you could see Carps and other species of fish swimming by, I did some catch n release back then, I during Salmon season you see Jack jumping here and there, I don’t know what happened to Lodi lake or maybe same dilemma like everywhere else weather changing water greed chemicals runoff and poaching, fisheries is getting extinct, hope not but too much for these fragile species to take, i credit them to hanging this so far.

@@bqxpd6 Wow thank you kindly! Course feel free to point out things you don't enjoy about our videos. As for the music, I try to cover all genres of music. Sometimes I worry that people won't take well to little "intermission" parts of the vids with little music and special effects. Tough one on Lodi Lake. I mean feels like there's fish there. Seen top water splash at times. Even this trip seen about 7 semi large fish surface right were I was fishing. Couldn't get one to bite this day. Yeah surely they're fragile. If you get a chance speaking of Drama for the fish, check out this video. Most didn't care for it much I loved it. About a HORDE of Salmon getting trapped. Heres the link. th-cam.com/video/09w5X9izViI/w-d-xo.html

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 prior to the pandemic, the local fishing club would hold an annual fishing derby around the end of May. They would stock the lake with trout for the derby. That was the only time of year trout were present in the lake. As far as I know, they haven't held the annual derby since the start of the pandemic.

@@narkman99 Right on had no idea! Seems the DFG knew about it some. Recon he was right then. Though I thought at times there MAYBE a FEW Trout in there. I'd have thought they'd come from the Mokelumne River and made their way through the other lakes like Camanche. Just wondered if there's anything preventing that journey? So you think these days would be 0 chance of landing a Trout there? Thanks again for the info! Ken & Lea

Yeah chance was some turtles biting. For the record I'm Atheous. I'm content in my position, it has been given much thought and my choice from knowledge obtained on the subject. Though alas as not everyone agrees on religion best to keep it just to fishing boss. Have you fished Lodi Lake yet? Also great place for gatherings, BBQ, some Boating and Walks.

Ummm what do you mean? You referring to fishing more Northwards of Lodi Lake? Or within Lodi Lake?

Right on thanks for the comment on the Carp. Think it's nearly even now with so many saying it's a common Carp and so many saying a Buffalo. That info helps... thanks for the vid comment! Umm what do you mean "now run to jesus"?

Well didn't break any laws here and surely play by the book but man that sounds sweet! Didn't know. Normally if I'm trying to a new type of fish perhaps in a new location, I call the DFG and check on Barbed. Barbless, can we harvest and so on. Do they send it via email? Or text? Thanks again...

Right on thanks man. I'll have to look into the cemetery side, as not sure I've seen it. Do enjoy Panfishing. As well as Striper. Was rather a cast and see what's there. Unique waters with the calm lake, small dam and Moke river dumping into it. You ever get GOOD active fishing days there?

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 it’s hit and miss really mostly miss 😂 always panfish bass are very much pressured carp fishing can be fun but takes a lot of patience this past year salmon we’re basically lost in the lake just jumping around going crazy the trout run can also be good it’s a skill building kinda spot where your always adapting and learning but that’s what it’s all about right 🫡

@@dahookmob Yeah semi shocked when I heard Trout can be found in there. I did know about the Moke River so. Salmon now that is a shock! Think one trip there for maybe 2 hours we had one pole with Corn on it. No bites. In the back canals along the walking trail. Funny thing is that many times water clarity is decent enough, you look by shore and don't see many or any fish. So I wonder... just much less fish? Or they simply in areas I can't see. For tonight boss gonna get some rest. We're heading out early tomorrow to fish a New Location! Right on for the comments! Ken & Lea

Heh perhaps... my youngest sister was born with "Club Foot" were it bent inwards some. After a cast for some time it was corrected. They were dang cool though... some nice info also

Ummm you mean you went to Miller Park after seeing our video but it was all dinks you caught? First two times we Striper Fished Miller Park it was actually decent day. We knew was out of Striper season but still bites were active. Also caught 1 keeper. Thanks for watching! Ken & Lea

That sounds AMAZING! I'd call that a good day! Salmon was one of the fist baits I used when I was young. Nice to hear they still work! Funny how you can see through the water at times there. Not see a Trout right in front of you. Then it moves and you notice it. They do hide well. My humble guess it that they're near the edge or in deep/shaded areas to avoid predators. Good chance from above like birds. I maybe wrong. What do you think of fishing in that scenery? Ken & Lea

Oh yeah they're indeed real boss. For us been SUPER hard to find! We've caught a few thousand Sunfish. Nearly all were Bluegill, Red Ear & Crappie. Only about 12 Warmouths. Maybe 15 Green Sunfish. So for us they're RARE. This one though I feel maybe a Warmouth hybrid. I feel it looks like a Warmouth/Pumpkinseed Hybrid. I totally can be wrong though. STUNNING looking fish! Thanks for watching boss... Ken & Lea

Sadly the only thing I snagged was your attention. For the record no one was trying to snag anything! You don't "snag" fish being that subtle. It's an aggressive action. Not to mention that, I run it by the book. Period.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 no need to be me or anyone else on here save your words, just realize people been around. You can literally see that lure stuck in his back. Have a good one🫡

I didn't clearly snag anything. Even in the footage there you don't the ability to Snag with those soft tugs. Hook wouldn't even penetrate. Secondly if you KNEW me you'd know you're mistaken. I play by the book and with pride! I grew up with a Hunter for a father. Some fishing. We always played by the book and for good reason. Balance MUST be maintained or enhanced, and the laws and regulations help to see that happen. It's a must to keep the cycle going. Again man you're barking up the wrong tree. The DFG themselves were referred to the video after we had a conversation as they were doing rounds in the area. Perhaps if you were there that day, you'd know for a fact we were simply trying to see what was in those waters. Word had it that there were some large fish swimming in the area. We found it hard to believe. So being fishermen and it being a legal location to fish (from the DFG themselves) we casted out. Also notice the "Panfish" light poles, 6 pound test and a tiny Rooster Tail. Not exactly snagging set up. Again not to mention the gentle reeling and jigging.

Thanks a ton boss, I can see that also. Been a few ideas. Another guy thinks it's a Pumpkin Seed. You know if that first one was a Long Ear? So far to date we've caught Bluegill, Red Ear, Crappie, Warmouth & Green Sunfish. Of the 27 different types of Sunfish. Hoping this day just added 2 new species heh. Thanks....

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 I don't see any red on the ear which is a characteristic of a pumpkin seed/shell cracker(same thing) but not a long ear. I would say bluegill/longear . With the hybrids it can be confusing! at 17:00 definitely a green/bluegill hybrid with the yellow tipped fins.

@@jaipoh3965 You know been a few since I researched the Pumpkinseed. I think it did mention about some red on the ear. The first fish, totally don't know only seen a Long Ear image once long ago. It surely has a long ear heh. The one at 17:00 I think has a fair amount of Warmouth look in the head. Yeah that Green Sunfish Orange/Yellow fin tips. They can be tough when they're hybrids sighs. One thing I love about the Sunfish/Panfish is the large variety of them. When we pull up a Striper (and I love Striper fishing), it's like oh... looks like that last one.

Thanks a TON for the info! I thought for a moment it might be. Just thought the Pumpkinseed's weren't so dark over all. Less they change shades like the Bluegill. I did think perhaps this was a Hybrid of a Warmouth/Green Sunfish. Or perhaps Pumpkin/Warmouth. Was nice to hear this and surely helps!

Np, yeah we were packing up to leave. Pulled in a Crawdad. Decided since it was already hooked well to toss it back out. Is it only RV parking? We don't have one, can only pitch a tent. I wondered at times how well they can steal the bait. Mainly since we use Magic String. Recon possible... sure wish we knew. Considered sometime down the line getting a underwater line cam. Not sure how often we'd be able to see through CA Delta water. I hear you. Well least on that dock we can and do at times use a Drop Shot. Keeps us a bit off the bottom. Mostly it has indeed been Carolina rigs.

Right on boss! Though I love Wild Delta fishing, also enjoy the city Lakes & Ponds. Think these are both gems! We do plan to go back for hook up better there... Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy the vids! Tight lines... Ken & Lea

​@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 they drain lodi lake 1 time a year to clean. Just fyi for future. Check online for down dates seasonally. Good waters. Same fish like sacramento river and american though i feel the colder water brings more trout and salmon in my xp. Also some Mokelmne river areas require barbless. Be prepared. Lodi lake areas is NOT barbless. Try the nature trail, opens along river

@@G-xi6ib Thanks a ton for pointing out that they drain it. We did indeed know that, glad you pointed it out! Often wondered if that meant that there'd be less fish on average in the main lake due to them dried out every year. Don't think the back canal drains any so figured better chances for more fish there. Do you know if the area of the Mokelumne River called "Big Bar Launch" is Barbered or Barbless and can you harvest Trout from that location? Thanks much for the info! Owe you one...

Wait you're not one of those 2 DFG are you? Or have we bumped into each other out fishing? Sounds like it... think we've met roughly 45+ subscribers out and about. In any case well met Brian and welcome to the channel. What do you normally fish for? We do some variety here, always looking to expand some! Not to mention hunting for the next PB or what may come out of the Delta! Ken & Lea

You know thinking you're either right or partly. We've caught well over 4,000 Sunfish/Panfish to date. Of those most were Bluegill or Red Ear. We did however catch 12 Warmouth. Been a LONG time, this almost feels like a Warmouth Hybrid. Wonder if it is just a Warmouth. Humm still rare for us, the side mid sections to the underside had fair amount of Orange/slightly Yellowish boxing pattern. If that helps... If you don't mind, we're trying to get all roughly 27 different types of Sunfish. To date we've caught Bluegill, Red Ear, Crappie, Green Sunfish & Warmouth. In this video I THINK the first fish was a Long Ear Sunfish and then there's the one you commented on. Wanting a Pumpkin Seed sooo badly. Heard CA does have some. Humm Ken & Lea

Waiting on which place to stock Trout? Figured you're referring to Oak Grove? I'm stuck thinking that Lodi Lake doesn't stock fish. Sure is a stunning Lake though!

Also wondering if you have fished Oak Grove Park recently for Trout or Catfish how was the action or lack of? Thanks!

I never fished there. I mostly fish river or slough except when I fish for stock trout. I'm in the Sacramento area so i was talking about local places like Howe Park or Granite Regional Park. The farthest stock pond I've been to is Elk grove Park pond.

@@KnightOfZero117 I wouldn't mind fishing more rivers! Lea's not so into them :( Love the Delta probably my favorite (outside of those rocks). Lakes can be trying... Don't know the area overly well. Do know that location has loads of Delta, Lakes & Rivers. Sounds like we can both use a Great Trout trip.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 As of right now I could use a good trip for any kind of fish. Pulling up dinks left and right.

Thanks loads for the heads up! We'll look into it thanks to you. We have heard of it before. You have any idea how far it is from the Boat Dock? We've fished off the Dock I mentioned if you're not sure which Dock. Oh figured Striper run would be starting back up soon, and enjoy Rio Vista so. Heh all good, not much of a dog fan (prefer snakes & cats). Bonus on the camping part, tent pitching? On a side note we hope you're enjoying the Fishing Vids... thanks again! Ken & Lea

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 Sherman island is pretty nice for videos too.

@@m.j.greathouse456 Think we tried there once and got LOTS of plants. Was other spots like a little beach, but then came the swimmers. Think we need to learn that area better. Also sadly I'm a cigarette smoker. Think Sherman may have been one of those no smoking areas. Totally correct me if I'm wrong heh. Hear LOTS about it though! Noted on the nice spot to film! That's totally how I feel about Twain Harte & Silver Lake fishing. Even Lyons Dam is sweet. Again right on for pointing those out! *tips hat*

Heh yeah recon so. Recon the only thing cooler than that would be a Penguin sipping an Ice Tea in Alaska in winter during a blizzard.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 I wonder if you ask them…. did someone tell you I didn’t have fishing license?

@@m.j.greathouse456 Ummm you're wondering if someone told them that I didn't have a license on me? Think they were just making rounds. When they first pulled up I was facing away from them casting. Not sure where they went after. They indeed were cool. Now the 3rd time this year we've been approached by DFG. Last time was in Oakgrove Park in Stockton. Same day we broke our Lifetime PB on Trout.

Haha they were the coolest 2 DFG I've encountered! Honestly glad they're out there keeping the people in check. Seen few people poach in the past, seen some trying to rip line back to SNAG fish at Lake Camanche. Seen other keep undersized. I always speak up, but I can't stop them all. Once got one 4 guys cases about Snagging. Really thought that day would end in a 4 against 1 fight. Also they simply packed up and left. P.S. David man, 2 of the Sunfish were NEW species for us! The first at Lodi I think was a Long Ear. The first one if Oak Grove, not sure. Hoped it was a Pumpkin Seed but have my doubts. It semi looked like a Warmouth and little signs of a Green Sunfish. (I know I'm always long winded, that's ok that sunfish was long eared so heh)

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 I have caught a few Pumpkin Seed but don't think I ever caught a Warmouth. Good thing those DFG didn't come earlier when you threw out those 3 lines in the beginning, they could of got you for fishing with 3 poles. I know some were Lea but they don't look at it like that.

Oooo that SWEET nature backtrail? Man not only do I enjoy Lodi Lake, I LOVE that Nature Trail! Lodi Lake to me is surely a GEM hidden in the central valley! Do you all see any Deer this trip by chance? Always a treat for me! Glad you're hanging with us for the moment, we hope you enjoy the vids! Btw Oak Grove Park isn't too bad either. Think Lodi Lake has it's numbers thou heh. Ken & Lea

Hey Dan (was thinking on calling you Stan heh), first thank you kindly for hanging with us. Do hope the videos have been enjoyable enough! Though we're often super busy think we can/should set that up. What days/times do you normally have open? Ken & Lea

Do you live on a private property?

Yeah of course at first I didn't know. First learned that it did (or I thought it did) about 2 years ago. So the DFG confirmed it does. In addition we weren't sure if people can harvest fish from Lodi Lake. Welp you heard it from them, we indeed can. Was a tad shocked when he said it also gets Trout & Salmon! Man they ICED Sturgeon season! Sighs.... Ken & Lea

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 the part i want to fish so bad that is blocked off is that dam by lodi that controls the water

@@HangNFish OMG dude, I'm soo with you on that! Noticed it via Google Maps. Sure there's no way we can get next to that spillway/dam? Outside of that the Back Canals of Lodi Lake are sweet. Wondering... you ever get a Good Active day fishing there? Also... you can try Lyons Dam sometime if you haven't.

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 the regs have that area as closed so no one can fish there because that would be a good striper area for sure by the dam

@@HangNFish Dang... still think one drive I'll see how close we can drive to it just to take a look. Perhaps ask what's the closest we can get to it. I'm guessing just past that string of bobbers sectioning the area off. Which by google looks semi close. Still we have the Lake & back canals to fish. I hear you though!

Hey what's up Alex & Rick? Yeah the first one what I think was a Long Ear was the first we've ever caught. Then at Oak Grove the first one there also I think it a new species! Would love to catch all 27 different Sunfish. If these two are two new ones. Then we've now caught 7 of the 27. We'll be checking your new vid within the next few days or sooner. Looking forward to seeing it! Ken & Lea

Thanks for the info, on the Turtle had been sometime since we caught a Red Ear Slider. Since I couldn't see the sides of it's head and thought I recalled the top of the shell to have more color on the Red Ears. For the Carp. We surely were unsure this being the 1st or 2nd time we've ever caught them. We went with Buffalo Carp as it's what the majority of the people were calling it. After looking images up, it did indeed look similar. Umm do you know what difference people would look for between the Common & Buffalo? P.S. new episode premieres 8-29. Also thanks again for the info! Enjoy the vids! Lea & Ken

I like those days honestly! This one could have used tad more action and sized though. Think everyone that day was grateful of Lea's actual decent sized Bass. Thanks for spending time with us David... also great hearing what you've to say as well. Psst... next upcoming video (think it's the next one) caught a New Species of fish we've never caught before. No it's not large Striper size, still. Never caught one!

@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 Will be looking forward to seeing the new fish

@@davidgarcia9808 Right on David. Oddly we're hoping one of you realizes what type of fish it is. Actually there were 2 that were caught both are NEW species to us. Well... of a known family tree member. While one looks cool, the other to me is STUNNING! Not sure but thinking it MAYBE the species I've been hunting for 5 years. Chances are it's not :( Welp back to working on the video(s).... Ken

Actually it was indeed a sweet day there! Can't say it's the best park in the world heh but that day was decent. Area ok. Fishing is Sweet there, all kinds of interesting fish! We do think there are Stripers there, as it directly connections to the Main Delta channel(s) as well as to the Bay. Hope there is hehe... Ooo I'd think for sure Largemouth there! Your thoughts? Ken & Lea

Ummm let me look that up for you. Get back to you shortly. On a side note, we hope you're enjoying the fishing vids! Ken & Lea

Ok the name of the song is "A Good Life". I'm using it via "Slip.Stream". They don't have the info on the artist name, sorry I was wondering also. Hope this helps some.... Ken & Lea

Right on for the comment on the video, thanks! Well we were newer to this spot. Had an idea what's in there but unsure. We do know it has direct access to the Bays. So think we were casting the Anchovies out for Striper. Agreed on the smaller hooks. Most times when fishing Sunfish/Panfish we use small hooks, drop shot or bobber with Jumbo Red Worms or Wax Worms. For Catfish we have been using bit larger hook and either Chicken Liver, or Meat Chunks. Though they tend to bite of Anchovy and Worms at times. Thoughts are welcomed! Was some interesting catches this day.... tight lines! Ken & Lea
