How To Fish San Luis Reservoir

I fish for stripers often at San Luis Reservoir and most of what I do or techniques I use becomes second nature. Sometimes I'll skip key details or assume everyone knows or understands what I'm talking about. This makes it difficult if you're new or not as familiar with San Luis Reservoir.
This video is specifically focused on how I fish San Luis Reservoir. It's not about the best techniques or locations but a more in depth dive into what I use to get these stripers to bite.
I know San Luis Reservoir is an intimidating lake to fish but I've been lucky enough to stay consistent and everything I do to catch fish trip after trip is explained in this video.

Hi Meng,
This is an excellent video detailing how you troll those rigs. I appreciate you sharing this technique. I primarily fish from a motorized kayak. I may try to troll some of these rigs from the kayak and to locate stripers like you have done here. It looks like a lot of fun to hook up with multiples. I may make the drive to San Luis from Fresno in the next week or two and give it a shot. Thanks again, I subscribed. Now I have to go watch more of your videos 😉

Yo bro take me fishing with you sometime

[@bjodaddyo]

That's awesome. I wish I had a boat because that looks like FUN!

[@MengXyong]

Thanks brother. It’s always fun when you’re arm gets tired afterwards. 😁

[@ramon5793]

Hello Meng, can you please make a video on how you have your live scope set up. Thanks

[@aProudOG]

Please clarify…your trolling motor’s primary use is to guide, not power the boat? The 2.5 mph trolling speed is achieved with gas powered motor(s)? What is your battery setup for your Terrova, 24v or 36v…lead acid or lithium? What is the striper bag limit at San Luis? What weather apps do you rely on to not get caught in San Luis’ treacherous and infamous winds? Thanks!

[@MengXyong]

Yes primary roll for trolling motor is to guide boat so I can easily fish in the back. Speed is achieved with main engine. It’s a 24v trolling motor with lead acid batteries. Striper bag limit is 2. Best bet is to call the kiosk bf going. Weather apps are not accurate.

[@aProudOG]

@@MengXyong Thank you! I appreciate your swift, concise, and comprehensive reply.

[@LukeAndDadOutdoorTime]

[@pomanguideservice2279]

[@estevanaguirre5019]

What's up partner really liked this video not only catching 3 at a time but for sharing your knowledge about the equipment. Im still waiting on that invite partner just say when. I would be very interested in getting more information from you on a 1 on 1 . I would also be very appreciative.

[@user-ev1ur3zr5y]

what kind of rig is that ?

[@MengXyong]

It’s my patented rig. TackleBuilders atlas rig

[@samuelgonzalez3275]

What brand swimbait

[@MengXyong]

AA baits

[@boris1060]

Do you think it’s safe to kayak there?

[@MengXyong]

Yes! I see kayakers there all the time. Just use common sense and stay close to shore

[@shooter7a]

Watch the weather forecast. April - August can be crazy windy. Like 50 mph+ which means ocean like swell/waves. And if you get washed into the dam, you will be joining a lot of snakes that got washed up there....

[@aubreymcfall9114]

Where are you coming from? I'm from Fresno, if you need more bodies to land more fish. Let me know I'd like to go just to watch you catch

[@marianosaenz]

Take me crappie fishing

[@pmurT4202]

Damn bro you should do a fishing business with the Hmong community you’ll be making dough

[@MengXyong]

I’m open to the opportunity

[@pomanguideservice2279]

Tas owns Fresno bait & tackle,a little shop but has a lot of good stuff & is pretty helpful

[@octaviofuentes7781]
