Has Berryessa (Folsom, Oroville & Almanor) Turned Over to Catch Landlocked Salmon? | Episode 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2022
- When the lakes turn over, landlocked salmon come out of the depths in huge numbers chasing the baitfish. You can easily limit out in a couple of hours if you hit it right!
The turnover phenomenon occurs around December or January for Lake Berryessa and results in the water temperature being the same throughout the water column. However, in my years of experience fishing these lakes, I find you can't rely on the reports from the water district and instead you need to look for yourself at the depth that the bait fish are holding. By graphing the lake with my fish finder and then looking closely at areas with Active Target, I've been tracking the turnover progress for the past month.

hi alan my name is mike evans me and my dad douglas evans we used to fish with youre dad hong fong its cool to see youre videos now im almost 40 years old but still remember catching stripers up the american river when i was 5-6 years old with those two once they were on the water you were there util you got fish never left empty handed great videos thanks
Hello Mike and yes I know your dad well as he fixed lots of outboard motors for my family. My dad like your dad very much as they had so much in common
Allen, I'm glad your doing a new TH-cam video. I appreciate all tips in store over the years. Thanks for all your knowledge sharing!
My pleasure! I have a great producer helping me do this channel and I've always like helping people catch fish!
Love your videos. Very informative! I live by Bidwell marina and fish all over. Loved the series on Crappie! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Julie I like helping people learn how to fish the right way using all the tools available! Fish are smarter than we think lol
So much information. Waiting for your videos to see how our local lakes are fishing. Thank you
More to come!
Thank you for the current lake reports. You are a great source of information. Thanks.
hey Ron you know I've always like sharing info!
no problem glad to help
Thanks for sharing this video 💯🎣
Any time!
Great video Alen. Great informatin. Thanks for posting and looking foward to watching the channel grow. Good luck.
Hey Steve nice talking with you at the ISE show and when the stripers get in I'll call you n well get to there try get some big ones!
@@AlanFong I'm up for that. Been a while since I have been into some good stripers. Lets do a video. Anytime.
Excellent information…thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Alan, great to see you, it's been awhile, with the state of things I just haven't been out much. I'm excited to see you with a channel, and definitely will be following and supporting as I am able. Hope you're well and best wishes!
Hey Lee everything going well as expected with these crazy times. Just need be careful and keep doing what I love with the outdoors especially fishing! Thanks for the support!
Just met Alan on lake berryessa today. I was out on lake with my two little kids and only second time at lake ever. I seen him catching fish so I was hesitant on asking what he was using just because haven’t had anyone really want to share there secrets but he was more that generous on sharing advice and also gave us a few setups that he was using ! Just an awesome guy ! Now that’s what fishing is all about right there years and years of knowledge passing it down to me and my kids too thanks again Alan !!! Hope to se you out on lake again !
Dustin it was nice talking to you yesterday. Berryessa is fishing tough right now as the lake hasn't turned over. Last year I was catching the salmon in ten to thirty feet and limiting out very easy. You can catch these salmon right in the marina when the lake turns over. Give me a shout when your going and I'll give you the scoop! I like that your kids go fishing and you need to enjoy it as when they get older there to much going on in the life and don't go as much!
Looking forward to seeing you out in berryessa Alan. First time hitting it last year and it was fun for the salmon
with this north wind the lake should start turning over N it be fish on!
Awesome Video Alan. I have subscribed and liked as well.
thanks Bobby
Thanks for the info. Berryessa hs been pretty tough lately.
The lake hasn't turned and everything is deeper than 60 ft down n hard to catch
Well done!
thanks
I haven’t fished many lakes.
When I do I struggle.
I really appreciate you sharing your techniques.
Glad you like them! Berryessa has been kind of tough last couple years as the lake never turned over.
@@AlanFong my friend Jungle tells me about Lake barriessa.
I've never been. We talked about going to clear lake soon.
I'll be headed to clear lake pretty soon also for crappies
@@AlanFong if Jungle Ask Me To Go I’ll do it.
THUMBS-UP!!!!!!!
When you say ”grafting” are you fishing where the birds are? Or just following along? Love the videos so far!would be cool to have a link to the tackle and other things you are using. Keep it up!
First I look for birds as they know where the shad are then I start graphing looking for bait balls. At the first of the year I will have an affiliate who I will be posting the lures and equipment I am using.
Great job on the videos. Love the channel and always want to learn more. Love to see you do a video on how to find bait balls on your graph, where do you stop your boat before passing over them. How do you correctly spoon for bass. Short small rod movements? How high do you lift your rod? Do you let there be slack in the line as the jig falls? Will bass be suspended on the bait balls? Fish Below the bait ball or above it. You said for salmon you like to fish a few feet above. For bass? I could go on and on but I will shut up now….
Funny you should ask because I'm gonna do one on spooning soon. When I'm spooning for bass I'm usually fishing in 15 to 60 feet of water. So when I'm graphing I usually have split screen so I can see the contours to see where the steeper walls are as the bass push the shad into these areas to ambush them. So I use 2 D sonar in 200 kHz until I locate the balls of bait! This time of the year I'm using 3/4 to 1 3/4oz spoons and I drag the spoon slowly and sometimes I pop it but very short pops. Almost like dragging a worm. Fish below the bait balls and you will catch bigger bass as there lazy and let the small one kill or injure the bait! Keep eye out for my spooning video to come out soon!
Excellent video Alan! Glad you incorporated the Fishing Is Fun song! LOL! Very informative video coming from a guy that actually knows his electronics. Would be nice if you could do a video on just how to best utilize your Electronics. Also what do you think about just dropping your Fish Hawk to find Thermocline? Wouldn't that also help you determine if lake has flipped?
On the crappie video I showed how to use your fish finder in different modes like 2D, DI, SI and active live. If I get people interested in learning just basic 2D sonar and posting I will do it lol Just by watching my 2D sonar it tells me a lot about a lake turnover especially in the fall n winter
@@AlanFong Just watched your video on Crappie fishing! Excellent and very informative video on how to use my electronics. Now I just have to buy a sonar GPS set up with SI & DI. Any suggestions on what model and series unit i should purchase? Something that works well on inland lakes & rivers as well as Ocean.
@@stevevargas5717 Look at the Lowrance Elite FS or HDS units can't go wrong! I always put the links to the products I'm using after the video
Thanks for sharing Alan. I always listen to fishing report on Saturday morning. I know your report is based on actual fishing. I had a real hard time getting Kokanee top bite last year on Berryessa, very frustrating. When you mooch for King Salmon in Berryessa what size jig head do you use. Also what is a good fishfinder for Kokanee fishing. I have an older (6-7years old) Hummingbird 899ciHD that came with the boat I bought last year. I have a hard time using it and don't feel confident in using it. Thank you.
Ron last year Kokanee fishing at Berryessa was hit n miss so don't feel so bad as I had some hard days there too. I'm using 1/4oz jighead ten to thirty feet down
and 3/4oz forty to sixty feet. Your hummingbird is plenty strong for Kokanee fishing you can bring it in and I'll just it for you only need the bring unit.
Hi Allen , It was nice to see you at the WOC last night. I used to go to the classes you put on at the store. Thanks for the presentation on electrics, it was very informative. I have an older HDS12 that I enjoy very much. I'm very interested in fishing Barressa for the salmon. I have never been there. What launch facility would you recommend or that you use for me to go to? I will be coming to the store before I go to the lake to get the recommend gear and anchovies to target the salmon. Thanks again for providing information to help us be better fishermen!! I 🎣
Dale I always launch at Markley Cove and turn your graph on when you start heading out as there are lots salmon in the marina area as your heading out. I've caught lots salmon there in the past. But most time I run out to the main body and fish all the main creek channels coming into the lake around Big Island to Putha Creek.
Allen,
What color blade runner seems to work the best for you and what weight is also best for jigging bass?
Love your videos.
Thanks
The best is 1 3/4 oz in UV morning dawn works good everywhere
You make it look ease
Gene it is easy sometimes lately it's been testing me lol
Alan, how far above the salmon do you present your bait?
Thanks,
When I'm graphing bait balls I like to put my lure around 2-3 ft above them. Salmon always feed going up!
Hi Allan thanks for your help. What weight jig head and what size Gitzit? Thanks again.
10-30ft 1/4oz, 30-60ft 3/8oz use spearhead style
I'm way up north. Do all lakes turn over at the same temps? Do you graph the thermocline?
No not all lakes turn over at the same time and if your using graphs with 3000 watts power you can see the thermocline. Usually around this area the thermo line will be around 60-80 feet in the summer. I'will be doing a lot of fish finder videos here real soon.
👍👍👍👍
thanks
I want to go to Berryessa next week and dead sticking. Is it a good time and where.
Berryessa for the last couple years hasn't been to good. I think the water conditions have hurt that lake. If you want to go mooch I would recommend Oroville or Folsom Lake. It's best by the dam at both lakes
What is thermocline mean in a lake
The thermocline is where the temperature changes and I can see it on my graph in the summertime when it is most visible
Without chumbly there is no one to make fun of and that was half the fun ....
LOL Warren n I enjoys ragging on each other
Can you eat bass?
Yes but you might want to go to DFW website as they recommend only so much per week and for women & kids at different lakes and rivers.
How’s Folsom doing?
Folsom has been a hit n miss I think because of water fluctuations
it's so small and when a lake if falling fishing is usually very tough.
@@AlanFong thanks Alan.
@@reeldeal7875 anytime
I'm curious if your always seeing bait and fish at the same depth every time at those same readings. Are you sure your depth fish finder is set for fishing.
Sounds to me like your on simulation mode
It's an honest mistake
But I've fished Berryessa most of my life
You said you see the same thing every time at those depths
Check your unit
I may be wrong bit it seems pretty consistent
All my guide friends and good fisherman have had the same opinion on Berryessa. I've been fishing there since the seventies. Fish finders don't lie and I catch my share of fish lol
👍👍👍👍
thanks
