Hello Adam, thanks again for fishing my favorite lake. It’s is a good fishery not easy and there is a little leaning curve..so dropping those lucky craft craft lures in deep water like over 80 feet in the summer it’s going to be macs that hit it. The marks on the sounder in mid water at 40-80 ft kokes. If you want trout mostly rainbows, you have to troll along the shore in 20-30ft of water over rocks. It’s best to troll night crawlers and I like to use slow death hooks… I hoped to talk to you at the street fair but I didn’t make it to the event. Trolling broken back hard baits over the flats especially in the spring could produce big GBT… take care
Hey I grew up on north shore Tahoe. The Lake trout in the vid was probably mostly fine after release but if you go any deeper, it’s good to pause when reeling them in at somewhere between 40-60 feet until you see some bubbles come up. This will allow them to eject the air from their swim bladders. These fish aren’t quite as hardy as ocean fish so it’s kind of important to do if you don’t have descending device. Anyway, awesome vid! That Kokanee was actually a pretty decent size, they don’t get very big.
Very nice! My brother owns property there, but really doesn’t fish it much (which I don’t understand). I’m a retired Great Lakes Charter Captain, and have some advice for you Sir. Make a habit of wearing high visibility orange hat and or vest while fishing from your kayak. Also, a Mustang type self inflating vest would be smart too. As for your riggers, try using a rubber band for a release; that will eliminate the false releases you’re getting. Good luck, be safe.
Lake Tahoe is just awesome.y beautiful in its nature. I was there last summer in August. Water is calm in a nice blue color. WOW ! Thanks for sharing your fishing experience at Lake Tahoe. 😁
I lost many fish with the clip method, the problem is that the line gets slack after being released, enabling the fish to get rid of the hook. I then sorted to clip lines directely on the downrigger line, allowing to use multiple lines.
Wash your release clip in lemon joy dishwashing liquid. It may have some kind of oil or scent from anchovies from your fingers on it making it slippery, been there a couple times. I always carry a small bottle in my kayak for washing it.
The drive by strike were almost certainly Kokanee. I've lived here my hole life and despise fishing Tahoe. It's the ONLY lake in the area I've never caught anything.
i like the variety of fishing you do. you should try some salmon fishing on the sacramento river, lots of people are catching early fish off jigs and flatfish. worth a shot
The air pressure is making it pop off.. at a 100 feet deep you have to imagine the air pressure within the lure is multiplied by significant amount… all it wants to do is float to the surface at that depth
I think those were Kokanee pulling you off the DRs. Can’t set the hook on those like a salmon…Spilt Milt on RUclips has the best technique fore Kokanee.

Bro tanks for your time and posting your fishing adventures I’ll like them all have a great day
It maybe line drag pressure at that depth pulling on the clip ... maybe !
nice job on the kokanee. Probably the only one ever to be released, lucky guy! haha. Its fun out there, good video.

I was typing: “That’s the bluest water I’ve ever seen” and you said it. Absolutely beautiful surroundings.
Going out lake fishing and camping this weekend. I get to put my new Downrigger/Fish Finder to the test. Thanks for the video dude!

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing your experience there. ✌🏻😎🎣

Such blue water, great episode Adam!
Always wanted to fish Tahoe. One day! Tighten the clip on your downrigger if you think it’s just popping loose
Great stuff man. Hoping to come out in sept to do some filming
awesome! Ive always wanted to see this lake
The drive by strike were almost certainly Kokanee.
I've lived here my hole life and despise fishing Tahoe. It's the ONLY lake in the area I've never caught anything.
That’s some CLEAR water! Stacking on a power boat is hard enough, can’t imagine doing it on a kayak
Wow. Amazingly beautiful water! I'm jealous
You ever try a shuttle hawk Adam ? It will save you alot of messing with your downrigger.
That place looks amazing. Great video!
💛...pfd?...that water is cold if you take a dunk...

Adam, can you share the specs on the baitcast setup that you are using please? TIA!
Nice lake bro congratulations you have very good videos
Is your rod a medium action or ultralight?
Magic water 💧 wow 🤩
I forget how blue the water is there. It looks like pulling a tuna out of the ocean water on a clear day.
What's the story on the motorized kayak? Looks like you're back to the Outback peddle drive
I've never been to Lake Tahoe. It looks beautiful. Dang, 150 feet? That's amazing. What happened to your Tesla of kayaks?
On your way to the saltwater I have a tip for you if you want in Okanagan County WA.
Awesome video! Just need to handle those lake fish a bit better ! Not quite as hearty as their salt water companions.
Tahoe is beautiful!

Blue watar.nice plase
My home, Tahoe. :)

Your just as good as fisherman's life!
They want us to believe we’re running out of water. Smh
No sharks.
