Sorry for the delay Ray been super busy. Thanks for the nice comments buddy. Funny you mention the "Catching is a bonus" heh. That is indeed my tough point with fishing. I don't do boredom well at all. The other side of the coin when the bite is on or a GOOD day, man such a thrill (outside of it not being so pleasant for the fish, always bothersome). Thanks again... honor having you watching or perhaps enjoying the Fishing Vids. Ken
If bank fishing, i suggest fishing in the sherman island county park, ($7) many good areas to fish, outgoing tide, best bait to use are mudsuckers (if you can get a hold of them) everywhere else are "snag city"..I've fished many years off bank and boat near there and never disappoints..hope that helps
Does a Bear S... in the woods? Heck yeah it helps! Part that gets me "I've fished many years off bank and boat" and so on. To me that's a statement! Less you fish it once a year heh. When we heard about it, people spoke of the good fishing. No one bothered to mention it's a Rig Graveyard. Time for scuba gear eh? We'll look into that Sherman Island county park! Still rocky shorelines? Thanks again, hope others will find this useful also!! Ken & Lea
The key to fishing there is only fishing 1 hr before and after a tide change, where current is minimal. Use a small weight, and big hook with a huge chunk of sardine. This avoids a lot of snags, and avoid a lot of dinks. The super hot spot is with a boat, out about 50-100 yards in front of you, in about 25-30 ft depth. In early Nov, you'll pull mostly 20"+ all day long.
You know glad you mentioned the tides. It's one thing we don't do. Normally cause we only have certain times we can fish. At times it's long enough to go through 2 tide changes. None the less, thanks again taken to heart. Reminds me my father an extremely avid Hunter/Fisherman use to research tides ALL the time. Every night before and morning of. What size weight you referring to? We were using 3oz & 4oz. As we have no boat do you think Keepers can be caught frequently enough from Shore, in that location? Noted about the 50-100 yards....thanks! Ken & Lea
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 Although, I've never caught anything there keeper sized from the bank, I've seen plenty people that do. With a boat, 2nd week of Nov. to early Dec. I'll C&R 20+ keepers in a 4 hr window during tide change. I didn't know anything about tides prior to getting a boat. Those fish are ridiculous. Seems like they are lazy and won't touch bait when the tide is strong. The magic time for me, even from the boat is about 1 hr before top of the tide and one hour after. The smaller weight just keeps you from snagging the rocks. During tide change, you can even get away with a 1 oz. Try that and no larger than 12 lbs test line. Chuck it out as far as you can. With a slack tide, your bait should stay put. Use a big bait (sardine cut in 3 pieces) and don't pick up on small bites. Wait till you get a big bite to avoid dinks.
Thank you kindly for that, on the other side of the coin we hope that we're bringing the fishing trips in an entertaining fashion! Trying to display the fishing days with some entertainment added in. As for the giants, too sweet! We've done with some species, while others (Stripers) only pulled up a few keepers. Been Striper fishing about 2 1/2 years now. We've heard many ideas on hooking into them, some info is similar while other conflicts. Always open for subscriber suggestions, we also hope others will read/use the knowledge. Glad to have you with us on the journeys! Ken & Lea
The main thing is your having fun together,keep it up,you never know about tomorrow,i wish i would have took my soulmate out often ,keep it up and don't spare the hugs.❤
Daniel thanks boss! You know, if you were there that day you just may have laughed. Between me nearly taking a face plant about 7-9 times on those rocks, to the harsh language that was used after the 3rd rig set up lost and counting, to our brand new Tripod breaking, to the heavy winds blowing lines. Heh outside of that was great! I hear you there... so for the times you missed, hope the best for you in the upcoming months/years! Tight lines friend... thanks for spending a few with us! Ken & Lea
It’s indeed fun to do outdoor activities together, at times it’s hard to catch anything but memories like these will always be treasured. Hope you like our videos. Wishing you all the best 😊
That's something we don't hear too often. Actually think I like it, even though can be in reference to the Shakers being on film hehe.. honor having you swing by the channel! We do try to show most of what happened, even the shakers. To give a feeling of how the day went. Thanks again! Ken & Lea
Oh man, you're now the third person to say they get bad snags there. Another subscriber said it, you said it, the guy Richard there left cause of it and me & Lea lost lots of rig set up's. I still recon it's a good fishing spot. Haha good buddy.... no mosquitoes, we got lucky that time! We did have LOTS of Yellow Jackets when we fish Lyons Dam recently. Ken & Lea
Thanks for the information! We've heard of Isleton a few times. Not had a chance to fish it yet. Though seems like the whole Delta area from the Bay's up to Rio Vista even Sacramento is prime fishing. We're still learning the best of those areas. Course fishing from Shore has it's limits sighs.... hope you're enjoying the vids! Ken & Lea
We couldn't this day. We stopped of two bait shops and both were out of ALL live shrimp, also totally out of Pile Worms, Blood Worms. Live bait fish were also sold out. Get a feeling there's TONS of Striper fishing going on as their is a race to get the bait! Sighs.... We are trying for Striper. Sturgeon is closed this year, outside of Catch n Release. Hope you're enjoying the Fishing Videos! Tight lines.... Ken & Lea
Its hard fishing in those rocks, your weights get hung up in the rocks way to often. Not to mention it is very hard to walk on them. But at least no SKUNK
Have you fished that location David? If you mentioned it, my bad must have forgot. Hearing more and more it's a brutal snag location. Hummm perhaps those pencil shaped weights? Or bobber, or straight lures? Sighs.... thinking grenades. And I jest. As to the rocks, was about 7-9 times I nearly took a face plant. The moss on them was working. Already endured more wounds in fishing then I did in Kung Fu, though it may be considered a close call. Ken
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 Never fish there, hard to keep from snagging on those rocks with any weights. Have heard of guys using those clear plastic bobbers that you fill with water, they seen to bounce over the rocks better. But with that many rocks I don't think anything would help.
@@davidgarcia9808 Yeah thinking bobbers possible also, just HATE having to reel them back every few due to unwanted drift. Often into shore. Would help with snags though. They were vicious there. P.S. Lea did buy some of those same bobbers, kept leaking on us. Tried 2 of the 6 we bought. Also bit hard to see in rougher waters... thanks for mentioning it. Was a nice bobber reminder! Ken & Lea
@@hershisadventuresincalifor9725 You miss understood me, fill the clear float with water to weight it down and use it as a weight. The idea is they are big enough to bounce over the rocks and not get stuck. Sounds good but not so sure, I think they would crack on the rocks but if you already have some give them a try
@@davidgarcia9808 Yeah I TOTALLY mis understood that. Now that's a bit of an idea. Makes me wonder how it'd work out. Though now I'd fear plants heh. Yeah the cracking on the rocks a DANG GOOD point! Maybe a thin rubber jacket on it? May add to much buoyancy not sure. Your thinking though helps!
Well me and Lea were just thinking perhaps other locations at Sherman Island. No doubt many more spots. Alas you may know it far better. So if it's most snaggy shorelines. Umm dang. heh yeah in the past we actually fished from that Pier. Only few times, crowded at times, and certain sections did have some snags. The location that had the least snags for Delta for us was Miller Park. Lucky even had some action there and pulled up a keeper. Thx for mentioning that Pier! Ken & Lea
Honestly most times we just open the packs of assorted sizes and dump them in. Think there's a fair amount of 5 and 6 J style. Some of these weren't the normal style hooks as we were too low on them. Hope that helps, hope you enjoyed the fishing video! Ken & Lea
Thanks for chilling good buddy. Though we hope you're enjoying the Fishing Videos, if you spot things we could do better in the videos let us know! As for the fish, heh we can only hope they're not always as stubborn. I am one to think, the larger fish do indeed learn, and are more cunning then we realize! Hunting... is a much different experience (I started hunting before I fished). Fish on boss.... Ken & Lea
Thanks for the note! We have used them in the past, a few times. Alas the bait shops we normally go to didn't have either in. We also tried for some Live Bait but they were sold out of that also. So we picked up Frozen Sardines (huge), Frozen Anchovies, Frozen Shrimp & Fresh but dead Sardines. Thanks again, we hope you enjoy the Fishing Videos! Tight lines.... Ken & Lea
Safe to assume you're referring to Magic String? Though probably has the name Miracle Thread also. If so thanks, we do indeed use it (when not out). At times I do get Lazy when baiting up. Normally after the 10th time or so. One tires of replacing rig set up's also. Sighs... never had such issues Hunting. More like, where do that empty shell go?!? The was the hassle of the day. All good, unlike Hunting where action is the blink of an eye. Fish battles and the wondering what you're about to pull up has it's own attraction! My bad ok the "Short" version. Agreed, may have some. Agreed it would! Thanks with honor! *tips hat* Ken & Lea
Hey boss how you doing? Well had we known we might have haha. Ummm as for the suggestions as you can see there are many! Thing is some suggestions conflict with others suggestions. Recon we all get that. Personally I think many tactics/baits/set up's work. No doubt when you cast certain baits/rigs it does more often than not produce a certain type of fish. Though heck I've caught Trout on a 2lb test casting out for Bluegill in the Delta. The stories you also have no doubt! Thanks though, taking all info in. Will take time to try the hordes of suggestions heh.
Man you may have some VALUEABLE information for many of us then. If you know where the Rock Snags are in that area. Heard a few ideas, but if we knew where the Snags are. Felt like a few clear pathways with no snags, then again Drift often pushed us into them sighs.... we do need a Kayak, we own cars. Rather not put one atop. We're considered it MAYBE heh atop one of the cars. The others no way (hardtop convertible). Never owned a truck which we've been considering.
Thanks for the note! In all honesty due to my Snag Phobia it's fairly common practice for me. Few times I slow played it a bit as was trying to provoke some bites I was getting. Does seem like a Rocky Bottom in that area, same for you there? Ken & Lea
Ur casting is not far enough. Just listening to how long the line spools out on ur cast I can tell that ur barely hitting the 30-50 yd mark. Ur bait is sitting in shallow water hence why ur constantly hooking dinks. You’ll need to use a surf type setup to chuck it out there. OR you can use the drone method Or get the rc boat method for long distance bait delivery with a short rod
Noted, though some of those casts were further than they seemed, and not all casts were caught on film. None the less I'd agree with you. I gave an explanation to another person. Just so I wouldn't have to type it twice. But explains why some came up short. We're considering a drone, but not for that reason. It can be done by casting. Always wanted to race some RC's! Not to take my bait out though. Sounds like you have some other hobbies as well? Right on about the note, it was on my mind so taken to heart. Outside of that we hope you're enjoying the Fishing Vids! Ken & Lea
ROFL haha I heard you there boss! Naa honestly some casts were a decent distance but many not so. I did a few miss casts that came up short mainly due to trying to maintain balance on those rocks. Also, been a BAD habit of mine, the Fear of the bait coming off from a heavy cast. I hear you though.... hope you enjoy the vids on a side note! Ken & Lea
Also years of fishing... this trip had the most slippery rocks I ever walked across. Missed some bites due to slow progress across them. If all else fails boss one can always use "Harsh Language". Tight lines buddy... Ken & Lea
Say one thing my man. OMG so hard to find Snag Free areas in the Delta. So I hear you there! Me personally I just learn tricks to deal with it. 1) When going to reel back in, pop your bait/weight up with a hookset. Keeping rig off the bottom 2) reel in fast 3) at times a heavier weight when drift is heavy. 4) Type of weight 5) Hand Grenades 6) Harsh Language 7) Restart You know boss, not sure if we tried Isleton yet, we've spoke of it many times. Alas I THINK most spots have "Clear Areas" where we can cast/reel in and avoid snags. I always figured it's about figuring out the bottom in the area you're fishing. Grant you some are probably sooo bad nothing can be done. Love Rio Vista fishing! Thanks for chilling with us! Ken & Lea
@ I snagged just last night with a fish on at that exact spot … ruined my night … Isleton has a public fishing dock and if that is too busy you can cross the bridge and fish the other side which is reasonably snag free … Steamboat Slough has some nice areas to pull over and fish also …
@@psimethusthemediocre8518 That's crazy man! Fairly sure you just seen that happen to me in the video. Hook it, can feel it on. Recon it swam into debris for safety. Didn't know about the public dock there. Thx! First time hearing Steamboat Slough. I'll peep the maps on that, thanks to you. Lea hates the snags even more than I.
@@psimethusthemediocre8518 Man that's HORRIBLE.... yeah snags there no joke! Makes you wonder what the bottom really look like. I know I mentioned it, but we'll try Isleton, thx again!
Do you mean the Fish that fell out of my hand? Or do you mean the few I tossed back in? Or the one that was gently released at the water surface? See you're comment suggests there's a certain way we're not releasing them correctly. However there is flaw in that statement my GOOD friend. As they weren't all released in the same manner. If I may... for good reason! One slipped out of my hand. The ones "tossed back" which is RARE for me, I couldn't get to the shore, due to the rocks being very dangerously slippery! See all that moss on them? Normally I release all my catches VERY gently, I give far more care to the fish them most fisherman I see. By far. Or did you mean something totally different? Recon you should specify just a bit more so we have a clear understanding of your meaning. Till then take care and hope you get some good fishing in! Ken & Lea
Oh also friend... there was the one that we caught that was bleeding very badly. I'm almost certain it was going to die. So I intentionally tossed him back more aggressively hoping the shock of hitting that water would wake him and get him moving. To hopefully increase his chances of surviving. We are glad to see people like you that care about the fish also! Trust me, we do! Ken
Just being out there with someone you love is a blessing in itself. Catching fish is a bonus. Love your channel

Ur casting is not far enough. Just listening to how long the line spools out on ur cast I can tell that ur barely hitting the 30-50 yd mark. Ur bait is sitting in shallow water hence why ur constantly hooking dinks. You’ll need to use a surf type setup to chuck it out there. OR you can use the drone method Or get the rc boat method for long distance bait delivery with a short rod

See you're comment suggests there's a certain way we're not releasing them correctly. However there is flaw in that statement my GOOD friend. As they weren't all released in the same manner. If I may... for good reason!
One slipped out of my hand. The ones "tossed back" which is RARE for me, I couldn't get to the shore, due to the rocks being very dangerously slippery! See all that moss on them? Normally I release all my catches VERY gently, I give far more care to the fish them most fisherman I see. By far. Or did you mean something totally different? Recon you should specify just a bit more so we have a clear understanding of your meaning. Till then take care and hope you get some good fishing in!

Oh also friend... there was the one that we caught that was bleeding very badly. I'm almost certain it was going to die. So I intentionally tossed him back more aggressively hoping the shock of hitting that water would wake him and get him moving. To hopefully increase his chances of surviving.
We are glad to see people like you that care about the fish also! Trust me, we do!
