Thanks. There will be a lot more coming in the future. I'm just glad I got in and out of there before the 4th of July weekend mob descends upon the area!
You always crush it bro! I hit the same spots as you and can never get these monsters! Motivation for me to get out there and catch up! That's what it's all about!
Thanks for bringing the action to us . When I'm not out fishing your sense of humor and style to fishing videos is very fun watching. That's a beautiful trout .
Diggin your videos man, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the CA fishing area. I truly would love to go Fishing/camping with your presence haha. I hope one day when you don’t think im some creep you hit me up!
Glad you like my content. I have a lot more like it across my channel playlists. You'll notice I mostly roll solo these days in almost all of my clips. Been Been heading out that way for the last decade or so. Grown to enjoy it. Thanks for tuning in. There will be a lot more content to come.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 well damn that was a quick response! Watching your battling fat rainbows video from the 18th. Im down in socal so probably wont accidentally run into you but I appreciate your content man!
I am amazed at how well you do fishing from shore in lake Tahoe being such a big lake . I have been in the lake on a sailboat , kayak and hung out at the beach and never seen anybody catch anything . I will have to give it a try someday when I am back in the area .
Personally, I fished all around the Lake for decades but never in the Lake itself until my first clip I put up. I figured fishing from shore in the giant lake wouldn't be productive. Why I assumed that I don't know. I first fished it about a year ago and I've hit nice fish almost every time since. I have more content for Lake Tahoe and other Lakes and streams in the area you can hike or drive to across my channel playlists if you haven't discovered it yet and are interested. Thanks for tuning in.
Armani out here catching baby sharks in Tahoe!!! Damn I always see some nice fish close to shore as well, I wonder if you’d have luck casting shorter. Maybe send one line out to the depths and put one closer to shore where those big group of minnows hangout
I wanted to try in closer but the snag situation looked horrible. This spot was nice because there seemed to be a large patch of sand out there which made for a stable bottom for a change! Those trout were definitely cruising in and out of the rocks along the shore. Maybe have one rod or fly rod ready and only have one bait out. I've been considering different options since seeing those fish close to shore!
Yeah, I've had luck just about everywhere I've tried except for Sugar Pine Point State Park where the water was really shallow all around it. I turned that into a hiking clip where I just walked around the park and showed the viewers what it looked like.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 Amani, I'm going to look up that park just to see where it is located at the lake. zOaky, I just looked it up and what a beautiful park. I don't remember seeing that name before when I have driven around the lake. Ill look up you clip on that.
Thank you. I don't push it on any other social media platforms. I figure, people will come eventually if the content warrants it. I'll just keep pumping out content and see what happens. Thank you for tuning in.
Hey for the amount of subscribers you have you already have really good videos. I like the informative parts of videos and I like your positive attitude toward trout fishing
Thanks. I have my stuff organized in playlists to help sort through things. I'm glad you tuned in. I plan to really load my channel up with new content in the days to come.
Oh man that was a really nice trout!! I caught one about the same size at Jackson Meadows fishing from shore by the dam. (also on a nightcrawler-inflated) I use a longer pole than what you use, mine is a lightweight 8'6" steelhead rod. And I use a 35 year old Daiwa reel that I bought from Montgomery Wards from back in the day when they carried fishing equipment. Having the longer pole is a real advantage when casting and when fighting a large trout like the one you caught and it allows me to be able to use light line from 4-6lb test. Watching you play that trout brought back memories. Love your videos. I notice you carry your ice chest on most of your journeys. Seems cumbersome to carry to locations that you go too. Have you thought about going with a pack pack ice chest and a fishing Storage belt for your tackle?? Seems to me it would free you up for more movement and not so cumbersome. Where to next? Tight lines.
I usually have my pack loaded to the brim with other crap. I carry the ice chest to keep my worms really fresh during the warmer months and to pack me fish on ice as soon as I catch them. A longer rod would certainly be a heck of a lot easier in those conditions but I do ok with my light 5' rods. I'm able to improvise as needed to get those fish in. That water near the dam at Jackson Meadows is nice and deep. I might hit that spot as right before the snow falls.
That last one really tested me! When it ran hard to the left I thought I was done. The tricky thing on those giant boulders is a serious lack of an ability to move around if the fish is not cooperating. That fish was not cooperating at all!
Thanks for the tips, I’ve tried Lake Tahoe bank fishing once after watching your videos and got skunked. Thought I did everything right but that’s Fishin I guess. Cant wait to try again. Love your videos!
I've been fishing Tahoe shore line for 60+ years AND catch those minnows,, put them on #6 treble,,,no weight,, toss 'em way out,, let 'em flutter,and shine -----here comes "Mr Big" to slurp him up,, he will take minnow sideways to run and kill it, then release it and turn to swallow head first,, set the hook one the second run. Good luck!
There are loads of minnows in the water. I think that was the main thing those trout cruising the rocks were looking for. I've also found crawdads in their stomachs. Big trout food seems to be abundant in the lake.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 correct! that's why I'm saying "if there is a wounded minnow, fluttering out in the big water, and out of reach of hiding amongst the boulder sanctuary, be ready!!!!!"
Learn something new everyday. I have driven by the sign indicating Logan Shoals Vista Point for 11-years heading to Cave Rock to go kayaking. I never knew there was a trail down to the lake. BTW, nice fish.
Yeah, the trail is steep like Chimney Beach but it's shorter and there are way fewer people. I don't know if there is any beach access down there because I simply got to the bottom of the trail and went straight down to fish. Those rocks I showed towards the end of the clip that were not as steep looked promising. That area is definitely worth exploring and the path above the rocks that runs along the lake is wide and easy. Last time I was there. it was stormy out so this morning was a pleasure.
I didn't fish it for decades because I figured it was too big as well! Since I first tried from shore a year ago, I've had nothing but success. Give it a shot! I'm glad you found my channel. All of my content is organized on playlists to help you sort through things. There will be a lot more to come. Thanks for tuning in.
Nice job bud. I did chimney beach Sunday and I caught a baby so I let it go. You were right get in and get out. They just stop bighting when the sun hit.
I was shocked I got that larger one so late. The only reason I was even there so long was because I wanted to nap it out a bit before I drove home. Got up at 3:30am! That Logan Shoals area is nice. There was a big tree right above me so I had shade on me until almost 10am. Sun was on the water though. Way less people there and the hike is easier. Don't get me wrong, you are hiking up and down a trail just as steep as Chimney Beach but it's a lot shorter. The Trail is where the benches and rail are past the bathroom. I shot my intro to this clip there.
Hi Amani, Where would you recommend I take my kids fishing in North Lake Tahoe? Looking for someplace where it isn't too hard to walk as my kids are little but really enjoy fishing.
If your kids are young, Lake Tahoe could be tough. A lot of difficult landscapes to cover. The easy beach I fish off of the 89 is probably crawling with people this time of year. Cave rock state park isn't too difficult but your kids would still have to deal with large boulders so I'm not sure about that either. I have a couple of clips for Cave Rock on my Lakes and Reservoirs playlist that will show you what the terrain looks like. It's a little bit of a drive but the public boat ramp area at Donner Lake has some easy spots to fish from and they also have those public docks that I believe are first come, first serve. Good luck.
That second one was a treat. I figured it was getting too late in the morning as the sun was out and the activity on the lake was increasing. I'll take it!
Thanks. I had a great time making it. I already have a lot more like it across my channel playlists and there will be a lot more coming. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Amani if it’s your name… I’m kind of new to your channel and I’m wondering where are you living that is so close to all that fishing spots??!! I enjoy your passion for fishing 🎣 keep up the good work
I live in the Reno area. It puts me close to a lot of good stuff but I still need to work out making it over to the Western side of the mountain range. I started the channel a couple of years ago while still living in SoCal so the move made it possible to go from only creating content once or twice a month to being able to create content once or twice a week while still working. I'm glad you found my channel. All of my channel content is organized on playlists to make sorting through it easier. Thanks for tuning in.
Jackson Meadows yes. Have a couple clips for it on my Lakes and Reservoirs Playlist. I fished Independence for a bit from shore during Covid so no Boats. Wasn't liking what I was seeing so I bailed and headed to the Truckee and hit a nice brown.
In Lake Tahoe where the bottom is huge boulders and the depths vary wildly I will move my stuff every half hour to 45 minutes. This is to make sure my bait isn't concealed by obstructions for long periods. If the bottom is a fairly consistent depth I leave it out for an hour or a little more. I always want to check to make sure I'm not in a snag or something like a crawdad has gotten my stuff. I also like to check every hour or so to make sure my worm is floating. If I already have solid fish in the cooler, I probably could leave my stuff out there for over 2 hours! Powerbait and well inflated crawlers can last for a long time!
I was reading that but was getting mixed messages through what I was reading about locked gates and an unimproved 4X4 road for 5 miles that gives me pause because of my low clearance 4X4 that I hate! I'll look further into it when I have a chance. I know there's a campground up there so it stands to reason you can get there by some kind of motorized vehicle.
That morning had a bit of everything. That dip was a nice capper. It wasn't too hot yet but I wanted to get in before I was covered in sunscreen. I have to say, that exact spot I was in had 3 tall trees directly above it so I was enjoying shade until a little past 10am. It was nice!
That thing had some girth to it. I had my doubts I was going to be able to land that thing when it ran up the shore away from me. I ate the 17 incher for dinner tonight. SOOOO GOOOD!!
Have you ever considered float tubing the many lakes you visit? You're doing just fine from shore, I was just curious if the tube has ever crossed your mind.
I used to fish a float tube quite a bit in the late 80's into the 90's but haven't used one in a long time. I use my boat that's in several clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist. I also have a clip about it on my 'outdoor safety and products I use playlist'. I was considering getting back out in a float tube. Lake Tahoe, I'm good just chilling on the shore!
Sorry for the late reply, and I apologize for not delving deeper into your uploaded videos before asking that question about float tubes. My father taught me how to fly fish and tie flies at a very early age living here in northern Utah, where I still fish on average twice a week. Thank you for your videos, my kids and I truly enjoy them all and the 4 of us believe you are a terrific outdoorsman/fisherman. You would make a great fishing guide! Be safe out there.
It wasn't windy this morning but I have been out there when the winds are whipping across the lake. If you are going to do anything out on the water like kayaking or paddle boarding, early morning is the safest bet. The wakes from boats are increasing too as Summer gets under way. That open space over the water is huge so once that wind starts howling, look out. Personally, I would be more concerned with the 4th of July traffic than the winds. The people should be plenty of people! good luck and stay safe out there.
I have to be honest and say I thought that second fish was going to beat me. That thing ran non-stop, straight away up the shore! I was prepared to take drastic action!
I usually use inflated crawlers and the original orange/yellow/green powerbait. Sometimes I get the extra scent stuff. I think I show a close up of it in my "line stripping rainbows from the Lake Tahoe shoreline" clip.
I was in Lake Tahoe last week and caught two on a Rapala top water lure. They weren't too far off shore and the water wasn't too deep, so I'm wondering why you don't try that at all. I did lose one to the rocks, but caught the second one, after some drama. My net was too small. Check it out here if you want: ruclips.net/video/SCn1Y602dFM/видео.html. I was in Meek's Bay, by the campground.
I have thrown countdown and floating rapalas but it's so much easier to kick back and simply watch my poles. I typically fish all artificial stuff when I'm fishing alpine lakes, rivers, and streams.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 that's awesome man I live in Arizona so I mostly fish for wild browns and they always have orange meat it would be sick if you could do a catch and cook.
@@limitlessap3265 The only few ways I cook fish I have clips for up on my variety playlist. The seasoning might change but those 3 clips cover it. Baking, frying, grilling on a campfire is pretty much all I ever do. I'm no chef. If I got a recipe from somewhere else it wouldn't be me. Everything on my channel is stuff I figured out myself over the decades. Believe it or not, I don't watch much video or read much on the outdoors and fishing. I've just always gone a lot! Besides my channel, You tube to me is 80's music and fixing minor things on my car! Thanks for tuning in.
I saw one swim right by along the edge of the boulders! Right where I jumped in! There's nothing you can do when you see a fish like that unless you are ready right there. AHHHH! Frustrating!
I use 8lb mono on my reels with a 6lb mono leader. It seems to do good enough with he boulders. Reeling in fast to check your stuff and holding my 5' Ugly Sticks over my head to keep the larger fish out of those rocks is a must though! I didn't lose any tackle out there today which was nice.
That Logan Shoals Vista Point is like a "Chimney Beach lite"! No actual beach that I saw though! You're strictly maneuvering around on rocks which is what I do in the Chimney Beach area anyway so it's all the same to me. Trail is just as steep but much shorter.
Please, Amani, stop giving out exact locations. For the sake of all things sacred with fishing, please stop. Just say “lake tahoe.” Last time I pleaded with you regarding this you stated you keep it vague and don’t give specifics. This is not vague, nor are most of the other videos. You also stated that all this info is already out there so you don’t see the harm. I assure you this type of content will surely cause overcrowding and environmental harm. What is the endgame? More subscribers? RUclips income? To be guide? All I kindly ask is that you respect fishing traditions, and respect the future of the lake and its surrounding areas. I sincerely say all of this out of genuine care. Please do not turn a blind eye to this. Every ethical decision from every person counts, no matter how inconsequential their actions may feel. All of our natural lands need stewardship, now more than ever. Thank you.
I try to be a good role model and spread spots out across my channel playlists. I give general conditions to look for and a lot of spots to spread things out. So, if I Just say Lake Tahoe that's better? Why is that? Cars line the roads bumper to bumper when I'm leaving, people everywhere, and I have yet to see anyone fishing outside of Cave Rock State Park. I have fished from shore over a wide area and I'm just not seeing what you are describing. You make a lot of assumptions that I am not seeing pan out when I go to places across the mountains again that I've had content up for a long time. If people are searching up a place like Lake Tahoe to fish and don't fish much, I'd rather them see a guy like me who let's a lot of fish go and picks up trash. I guess eventually I'm going to have someone confront me and try to stop me from fishing somewhere and that will be a rough and unfortunate day. Thanks for keeping your concerns in your comment clean. I run a family friendly channel so that is key to making sure your viewpoint is heard.
I was reading about it the night before and I was getting mixed messages about locked gates and 5 miles of 4X4 rough roads. My 4X4 is good in the snow but the clearance is low and horrible so I wasn't sure. I'm going to have to look into it further when I have more time.

Happy birthday! Your not that old! I'm on the base path right behind you!
When you get a chance go to Hobart, the fish are not huge but you won’t be disappointed!
I will make it up there. It sounds interesting. If I expect smaller trout, I can have fun playing around with them all day on a fly rod.

The rainbows are schooling around the bait, eating all the little Lahonton Red Sides, had 6 rainbows blow up on my jerk bait the other day
They were definitely cruising the shore feasting.
That's a nice bow. I'll be heading to Almanor later in July, I wonder if I can catch fish from shore in the summer there🤔
I would look for deep water and get out there early. I want to get back up there and fish the Hamilton Branch in the Fall. Good luck.
That 2nd fish is legit! Full tail fin and all.
It got my attention when it hit that first long run!
Looks great up there. Tear it up and watch out for the snakes .
It was so nice out there this morning. I don't want anything to do with the area once the 4th of July weekend mob shows up!
Yeah I don’t blame you I bet the fish even feel the pressure :)
Tahoes still awesome! Fish till it gets hot then go for a swim! Nice!
It all came together for me!
dude, nice 22 incher
That thing had some girth to it. I had my doubts I was going to be able to land that thing when it ran up the shore away from me. I ate the 17 incher for dinner tonight. SOOOO GOOOD!!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 do they both have pink flesh?
Heck yea Amani keep slaying! Got to get out to Tahoe get a big one.
Get out there, find some public access, and give it a shot!
Beautiful fish
I ate the smaller one for dinner. Fantastic! So great sitting out there and fishing in the early morning.
Have you ever considered float tubing the many lakes you visit? You're doing just fine from shore, I was just curious if the tube has ever crossed your mind.
I used to fish a float tube quite a bit in the late 80's into the 90's but haven't used one in a long time. I use my boat that's in several clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist. I also have a clip about it on my 'outdoor safety and products I use playlist'. I was considering getting back out in a float tube. Lake Tahoe, I'm good just chilling on the shore!
Sorry for the late reply, and I apologize for not delving deeper into your uploaded videos before asking that question about float tubes.
My father taught me how to fly fish and tie flies at a very early age living here in northern Utah, where I still fish on average twice a week.
Thank you for your videos, my kids and I truly enjoy them all and the 4 of us believe you are a terrific outdoorsman/fisherman. You would make a great fishing guide!
Be safe out there.
@@kravenmoorhead5634 No apology necessary. I'm glad you all are enjoying my content. Viewers like you power me up. I have a lot more coming.
Trout Slayer..🍋/Pepper👏
I just finished eating the smaller one and it was great!
DUDE!!! I was going to head out the yesterday, I would have ran into you. Nice fish, man.
That second one was a bruiser! It did not want to do what I needed it to do!
“Alright what am i gonna do here ?! I gotta get ready for this!”
*Proceeds to keistering the net 😂
Got to think fast. I think holding the net between my legs is more accurate!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 😂 all jokes , we all gotta do that sometimes
“There we go…”. Then starts coaching the fish to stay out of the rocks. Lol🤣
I had little to work with. Appealing to the fish directly was a last resort!
Are the afternoons as windy as they say right now? Heading in those areas this weekend.
It wasn't windy this morning but I have been out there when the winds are whipping across the lake. If you are going to do anything out on the water like kayaking or paddle boarding, early morning is the safest bet. The wakes from boats are increasing too as Summer gets under way. That open space over the water is huge so once that wind starts howling, look out. Personally, I would be more concerned with the 4th of July traffic than the winds. The people should be plenty of people! good luck and stay safe out there.
nice fish Amani!
I have to be honest and say I thought that second fish was going to beat me. That thing ran non-stop, straight away up the shore! I was prepared to take drastic action!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 no better reason to go for a swim! :-)
Best baits n colors ?
I usually use inflated crawlers and the original orange/yellow/green powerbait. Sometimes I get the extra scent stuff. I think I show a close up of it in my "line stripping rainbows from the Lake Tahoe shoreline" clip.
I was in Lake Tahoe last week and caught two on a Rapala top water lure. They weren't too far off shore and the water wasn't too deep, so I'm wondering why you don't try that at all. I did lose one to the rocks, but caught the second one, after some drama. My net was too small. Check it out here if you want: ruclips.net/video/SCn1Y602dFM/видео.html. I was in Meek's Bay, by the campground.
I have thrown countdown and floating rapalas but it's so much easier to kick back and simply watch my poles. I typically fish all artificial stuff when I'm fishing alpine lakes, rivers, and streams.
What color meat did they have
Those big rainbows out of Tahoe always have dark reddish pink meat. Holds the color and looks like salmon when it's cook. They taste fantastic.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 that's awesome man I live in Arizona so I mostly fish for wild browns and they always have orange meat it would be sick if you could do a catch and cook.
@@limitlessap3265 The only few ways I cook fish I have clips for up on my variety playlist. The seasoning might change but those 3 clips cover it. Baking, frying, grilling on a campfire is pretty much all I ever do. I'm no chef. If I got a recipe from somewhere else it wouldn't be me. Everything on my channel is stuff I figured out myself over the decades. Believe it or not, I don't watch much video or read much on the outdoors and fishing. I've just always gone a lot! Besides my channel, You tube to me is 80's music and fixing minor things on my car! Thanks for tuning in.
That lake is loaded with chubbies
I saw one swim right by along the edge of the boulders! Right where I jumped in! There's nothing you can do when you see a fish like that unless you are ready right there. AHHHH! Frustrating!
what line do you use out there on the lake? Braid?
I use 8lb mono on my reels with a 6lb mono leader. It seems to do good enough with he boulders. Reeling in fast to check your stuff and holding my 5' Ugly Sticks over my head to keep the larger fish out of those rocks is a must though! I didn't lose any tackle out there today which was nice.
You need an assistant
What fun would that be? Then you couldn't watch me bumble and stumble around trying to figure things out! That's part of the fun!
You always score at Tahoe 👍
Nice chunks Bud, thx for sharing.
I've got it dialed in but man, getting those larger trout in over those boulders with my small 5' rods might give me a heart attack!
Nice video was at chiminey beach on the 30th!
That Logan Shoals Vista Point is like a "Chimney Beach lite"! No actual beach that I saw though! You're strictly maneuvering around on rocks which is what I do in the Chimney Beach area anyway so it's all the same to me. Trail is just as steep but much shorter.
Please, Amani, stop giving out exact locations. For the sake of all things sacred with fishing, please stop. Just say “lake tahoe.” Last time I pleaded with you regarding this you stated you keep it vague and don’t give specifics. This is not vague, nor are most of the other videos. You also stated that all this info is already out there so you don’t see the harm. I assure you this type of content will surely cause overcrowding and environmental harm. What is the endgame? More subscribers? RUclips income? To be guide? All I kindly ask is that you respect fishing traditions, and respect the future of the lake and its surrounding areas. I sincerely say all of this out of genuine care. Please do not turn a blind eye to this. Every ethical decision from every person counts, no matter how inconsequential their actions may feel. All of our natural lands need stewardship, now more than ever. Thank you.
I try to be a good role model and spread spots out across my channel playlists. I give general conditions to look for and a lot of spots to spread things out. So, if I Just say Lake Tahoe that's better? Why is that? Cars line the roads bumper to bumper when I'm leaving, people everywhere, and I have yet to see anyone fishing outside of Cave Rock State Park. I have fished from shore over a wide area and I'm just not seeing what you are describing. You make a lot of assumptions that I am not seeing pan out when I go to places across the mountains again that I've had content up for a long time. If people are searching up a place like Lake Tahoe to fish and don't fish much, I'd rather them see a guy like me who let's a lot of fish go and picks up trash. I guess eventually I'm going to have someone confront me and try to stop me from fishing somewhere and that will be a rough and unfortunate day. Thanks for keeping your concerns in your comment clean. I run a family friendly channel so that is key to making sure your viewpoint is heard.
You can drive to Hobart
I was reading about it the night before and I was getting mixed messages about locked gates and 5 miles of 4X4 rough roads. My 4X4 is good in the snow but the clearance is low and horrible so I wasn't sure. I'm going to have to look into it further when I have more time.
