[@whirewalltires]

Thank you for another great video, the lady caught a really nice fish!! Congratulations to her!!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thanks Lee. She was super happy just getting a chance to get on the water again

[@girlfinfishing]

Awesome video! 🎣 🤩

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thank you 🙏. Definitely a tough trip but we eventually figured them out

[@kevinmichaud1890]

Great video brother. Looking forward to catching up with you soon.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Right on! The season is just about to start 🤘

[@kevinmichaud1890]

Yes it is. I can't wait.

[@JoeD.294.]

The wind up in the Sierra's can be brutal but your patience paid off.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Yeah that wind up there is something for sure at times. Next video I got stuck in a storm with high winds on Crowley but ended up getting into a real good bite. You just never know up there sometimes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@JoeD.294.]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors I hear ya on Crowley. It sits out in the open with no protection from the wind .

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

@@JoeD.294. oh yes haha

[@paulyoon6350]

Great video with baits, rods, and tutorials, Rob. My friends and I were at Mammoth Lakes a week ago, and George, Mary, Mamie, and even Convict all got stocked but small. Fun fishing and kept some decent ones.🎣👍

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thanks Paul. I still haven’t successfully fished the mammoth lakes this season. Every time i go up there the weather is so bad we move onto to another lake haha

[@donjuan4925]

Good stuff brotha! I was up there last month and I’ll be back this Thursday before the season ends 🍻

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Right on! Your gonna be up there for prime time. Lemme know how you do 🤘

[@donjuan4925]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors will do! If it’s anything like last month those gsf mini jigs gonna crush em again! Caught hundreds of bows

[@luisguerrero1764]

thanks for your video

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@TroutTastic]

Another awesome video Rob!!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thanks brother 🤘

[@itskimmayy12]

That was a chunky one that you landed at Silver on the desert locust!! Makes me want to go back, great video! (:

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Yeah I was stoked to get that one. That was one of the toughest sierra trips Ive had in years. The trout just weren’t having it no matter where we went or what we did haha. Im thinking it was the weather as it was hot one day and cold the next, oh and the high winds didn’t help either but still had a blast tryin to get em 🤘

✅Just tagged out on a nice D zone buck now I’m dusting of my trout gear and jigs! Thank you for another well put together informative episode. Good luck this season and on your next fishing ventures. 🙌🏽🎣

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Outstanding!! Definitely get out to the water, the bite is really taking off up there 🤘

[@worldobserver3515]

What was the spread and points on the buck? Congrats.

[@J_G_Romero_1973]

@ Bro honestly since it took me 10hrs to get him off the mountain and immediately took him to the taxidermist first thing in the morning, I didn’t even think of measuring him! Will do as soon as I get him back on the wall and hopefully give you an update. Big 3x3 with great mass! Thanks 🙏🏽

[@fishingnook8248]

Really appreciate all the work put in to educate people on catching in our area. Your videos very helpful. Good job and please keep it up. I would like to make a small suggestion for jigging ultralight rods. I think you should recommend 7’ ultralight rods because seven and a half foot and 8 foot ultralight rods are hard to find unless someone can afford a custom rod. Tight lines

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I appreciate the comment and if all you have is a 7’ rod, by all means give it a shot. But if you’re looking to purchase a rod with your hard earned money I dont want to recommend a length that I don’t personally stand behind or believe in. I just looked online and FISH USA has the Daiwa Presso in stock in 7’6” and 8’ www.fishusa.com/Daiwa-Presso-UltraLight-Spinning-Rods/

[@Fishin4mike]

Hope to see some gregory and hemet videos soon! I need some hemet trick brotha!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Ill be doin more Hemet vids this season and Ill be at Gregory either Thursday or Friday

[@LAUSTINDASAUCE]

I’ve been using white tubes at Caples the past couple weeks and they have been slaying them. Water getting extremely cold really quick, big ones a lurkin!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Right on! There are some true monsters cruising in that lake

[@johngil4453]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! I thought the spartan minows were a sales pitch. Oh boy, i started experimenting with them more and now there are kinda a "GO TOO". Bought more. Started using the 1/32 also. WOW!!! I feel like I am cheating on the lakes because i am they only one catching trout, New Jersey...

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Right on!! Thats great to hear, I just love those Spartan Minnows. Stoked they are working for ya out there 🤘

[@patrickkeicher3445]

Do you have any vendors for you products? Any timely tips for a west slope trip in El Dorado or Amador Counties? going to make it happen Saturday. Not sure what lake yet. I have heard good things about Stumpy Meadows, only tried fishing there from shore once before.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I would love to but Ive never been up that way so I dont know what the water/terrain is like. If you could let me know I can give ya some suggestions. Im headed to Amador lake in December so after that Ill have some intel for ya 🤘

[@worldofru725]

You said something about a "clip." To tie the jig. What kind of clip?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Its a fly fishing clip size L. It allows you to switch jigs very quickly and doesn’t affect the action. Here is the link Dr.Fish 100 Pack Fly Fishing Snap... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW3T11HZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@Vitaminsforyouu]

How do you know to switch spots or switch colors of jigs if you’re not getting bites? I feel like that’s what i always struggle with

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Its not anything I know its more of an educated guess if that makes sense. I dont use a specific color when I start at a lake. I just try one and see what happens. If nothing, i switch colors a few times and presentation speeds and if still nothing ill move to another spot. I just continue that process until I get bit and if I don’t Ill move onto another lake. Biggest thing especially in the sierra is dont get stuck at one spot if the fish aren’t biting. Usually ill hit several lakes in one day trying to find bitters

[@Vitaminsforyouu]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors I appreciate the thorough response, you’re the man! I’ll be sure to keep this in mind the next time I head up there!

Booyakasha!!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

🤣🤣

[@tm8747]

how can someone like me use the goldfisg lures when you out of stock all the time, i know made them myself! a hollow tube dye maker from TEMU, no need to pay/ 16.99 for 4 EACH, FOR THAT PRICE I CAN MAKE 100 UNITS. COMES WITH THE ALUM. DYE MAKER AND THE 16 DIFFERENT COLORS FOR THE TUBE MATERIAL. SO I BOUGHT 3 TUBE MAKERS AND 100.00 OF SOLUTION

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I think there may be a bit of confusion. I dont own Golden State Fishing Im just a ProStaffer for the company and really love their products. I just checked the website and all the jigs are in stock and cost $5 for 6 jigs. If you want to make your own jigs I think thats awesome. I haven’t done it myself but I bet there’s alot of satisfaction catching a fish on a jig that you designed and made yourself 🤘
