Glad you liked it! It’s a great little trail, I hope it didn’t get wiped out by the fires.

If you post your email address, I will send it to you, then I will delete this comment. I’m trying to keep it on the down low.

Understood, wait on this one.

I can’t imagine buying a new vehicle and taking it here.

Great to hear, and glad you enjoyed it.

Were there lots of people? I was going to go up yesterday too, it decided to go fishing (video coming).

@@rohrsoutdoors do you know if you can camp up there?

@@cruzinthruspace I don’t, I’ve been meaning to call forest rangers.

First light, over by 9:30 am

There are several things that help get bites when fly-lining live baits, especially if the fish are not biting full speed 1) Light line- #20 fluorocarbon is harder to see, #30 braid helps the bait swim easier. 2) Longer casts get the bait out to the fish that are holding away from the boat. 3) Picking a good bait that swims away quickly. If the bait doesn’t swim, it’s time for a new one. With the sardines, change baits frequently. 4) I like ringed hooks for live bait. It may not make a huge difference, but every little bit helps.

I'm going on the Thunderbirds September 10th I hope he spends time looking for bluefin and not just anchored up at San Clemente

@@victorcianflone5093 They always try to give their passengers the best chance at catching fish. Conditions were miserable that day anywhere besides the lee side.

@@victorcianflone5093 Personally, I’d much rather catch yellowtail, bass, and bonito all day long on an overnight trip.

@@rohrsoutdoors are you running all braid to a fluro leader?

@@Steve_Byron Yes and no. That was the old Thunderbird- they sold it and bought a new boat, it rocks. Very clean and modern.

@@milkyfade6285 I can’t wait to get back!

Agreed on many points. I didn’t intend for the Saltist to be a pelagic reel, I bought it for inshore fishing for bass and barracuda. That said, as you pointed out, spinning reels are stupid fun. I may need to get a better reel for the pelagics.

Daiwa Saltist MQ 4000D

You got that right! Glad you enjoyed the video.

I’m not sure of the name. It is below Bootleg campground. I haven’t fished in that area in over a dozen years, so I am not terribly familiar with it.

You got that right!

I still prefer conventional for a lot of applications, they are more powerful and give you more of a direct feel when free spooling. That said, I just bought this set up and wanted to mess around with it. Throwing into the wind also favors spinning gear- it’s a trade off, but I had a blast.

All i use is spinners

@@myungkwak0311 fun for sure, and really useful in certain applications. It’s nice to have options.

Always expect the comments when I pull out the spinners. It changes peoples minds by the end of the trip

@@jaimeruiz4313 it’s a tool, and excels in certain applications. We had wind against current, and the ability to toss a sardine way out made a difference. I still love my bait casters, but am learning to like spinning too. Maybe I watch too many East Coast and Australia videos.

@@rohrsoutdoors why did you choose spinning over a baitcaster I'm thinking of taking a small setup like that on the Thunderbird on next Tuesday

@@victorcianflone5093 two reasons: 1) It was wind against current, and spinning gear lets you cast without worrying about backlash. 2) I had just bought that rig and wanted to pull on some fish!

This book is full of rocks, wrecks, and other structure. It’s got spots all over LA and Orange County- can’t recommend it enough.

I love my FJ, even with 188,000 miles it’s hard to imagine getting rid of it.

​@@rohrsoutdoorsyeah at the time I had to move further away from work and I couldn't keep up with the fuel expense because that thing gobbled up gas pretty quickly lol but if I ever come across one again (that I could afford) I'll probably go back to it. So is this trail more on the side of where lytle creek? I live in Lake arrowhead and trying to find easy trails to test out my wk2.

@@saint_keeblerElf yes, it is on the opposite side of the 15 from Lytle Creek.

Agreed.

Thanks for the kind words. No other social media besides the TH-cam channel.

Thanks 👍

A day I won’t forget anytime soon. I had very low expectations after the storm that went through.

A fun one for sure. Thanks.

I was actually on Bailey Canyon today! Yes, you should be able to navigate the terrain. Be aware the brush gets pretty tight in a few spots- you will definitely be getting some scratches.

@rohrsoutdoors yea ok. I was just up at Big Bear a couple of days ago, got some strips there.

@@broinsocali The mark of a well-traveled vehicle.

Roughly 7,500’ I think.

@@rohrsoutdoors thanks

Thanks- I think that those of us who harvest our own food come to respect the value of life the most. I’m in so cal too- hope to see you out there.

What size and color?

I have no idea, never tried em.

they work

Thanks- glad you enjoy the videos, and glad to share the adventures.

You bet! Can’t wait to get back up there, but rewatching this one is almost as good.

Agreed. That was my first time, I am definitely going back in the fall.

hi I'm in San Gabriel Valley with a 97 ZJ that needs love -- my previous mechanic gave up on it and I am interested in finding someone "from the old days" who knows how to work on 'em. Do you have any suggestions for a mechanic? At 225K miles I am down for the whole rebuild or replace, there's no other rig I'd rather have so I wanna find a way.

@@jamescater802 18-22, typically 20.

@@jamescater802 it really smooths out the ride.

Understood- I try to touch them as little as possible when I am not keeping them to eat, that’s why I avoid a net and lots of time out of the water.

You should! The season usually opens around April 20-25, and goes to sometime in the fall. I haven’t gone in 12 years or so, but we used to go every year sometime between April and July.

Some of the trout are there around, but the majority of what you catch are going to be stocked rainbow trout. Weather and water flow are the two big things to think about, if the water is flowing too fast, it is basically unfishable in the streams.

I know we are in the same basic area- if you are ever near Brea stop by Fisherman’s Access. Jack and the guys are great, and can help get you set up. It’s really straightforward, #2 line is the key.

@@rohrsoutdoors okay thanks for all the info 🙌🏾

@FishingWithJRome happy to talk more sometime.

Fisherman’s Access- fifteen years ago.

It’s like a fine wine at this point.

@@rohrsoutdoors did they stop making them I tried looking for it but can’t find it anywhere

Fun times- it had been almost 12 years since the I have been to the sierras. Can’t believe I waited this long to get back.

@@rohrsoutdoors Wow! Well with such a great and fun video it seems like it was well worth the wait.

Heck yes- let’s pick a week.

Perhaps a different kind of palooza this year.

Thanks. I am already planning next year’s trip.

Have fun! It’s a cool little trail, especially after the spring rains.

5’ and 7’. Longer rods for lakes and casting distance. The shorter rods better for getting around in the brush.

#2 Izorline xxx for both.

Ultralight?

@@Gokor30 #2 Izorline

Thanks.

It’s pretty short. I think you can do it in under two hours. It took a lot longer because we did a bunch of off shoots and stopped for lunch.

I am still trying to figure it out, but it seems like there are several ways for bass. It almost always seems to get bit on the sink or on a pause during a retrieve, I I mostly let it sink to a certain depth, wind 5-20 cranks, then let it back down.

Hookup Baits actually has their own TH-cam channel where they show how.

Glad you liked the video!

Is this near intake 2?

I went here with my dad and I years ago and I forgot where it is

@@AlsFarrierServices kind of.

I have since heard it as well. There was nothing posted that we could see, and there were several people camped on the sand when we arrived, so it didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t be okay.

check with local ranger stations, a lot of rumors about this but better to know for sure.

@@DIGITALCITY-wn4by correct, but in the absence of signs it’s hard to tell. I mostly try to enjoy the wilderness as I find it, in its most natural state. That is to say, that beach existed for a very long time without ranger stations.

there are signs around the campsite that says no camping on the beach. I know its tempting to camp at the beach, but please try to follow the rules so that it continues to stay open

@@augustinechoi2465 as mentioned earlier, I did not see them.

That's where we usually stop for lunch, the river is really peaceful.

I am going to keep this one a secret, it is probably my favorite spot in all of Bishop.

@@rohrsoutdoors I fish eastern sierras every year honey holes are like knowledge , what’s the use if you don’t share . 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks!

Glad you like them!
