Hi Gary. I just wanted to thank you for the great seminar you did at Fisherman's Warehouse in Manteca. My fishing buddy and I purchased the lures you suggested and went to New Melones yesterday and had the best fishing trip ever. We virtually limited out on Kokanee and I hooked a Monstor 9# Brown. The only lures we used were Cripplures. This Brown was caught on the Glow Shad Cripplure with the Copper Sling Blades at 80 feet.
Thanks for sharing your expertise

Collins Lake with Raith Heryford and Myself
3/18/08 Justin Wolff and myself meet Raith Heryford of RH Guide Service www.rhguideservice.com at 9:30 A.M. At the Collins Lake Store. www.collinslake.com After a quick trip through the Store for supplies we headed out. Raith Guided me to the North end of the lake to an area he had caught fish earlier in the week. There were several boats in the area but not many fish this day. We picked up a few small fish before deciding to go on the Hunt for some warmer water and bigger fish. We powered up my 20' Duckworth Boat and headed for a big shallow cove Northeast of the Boat launch. The temp there was a couple of degrees warmer or 53 . We began trolling just of some willows near shore in about 15' of water. A red gold sand Hum Dinger at 8' a Brass Red Cripplure at 6' and two Orange Flee Bitty's on the surface. I didnt take long before we had a nice 4.5 pounder on. It hit the Hum Dinger and was hooked good. Raith played the fish well and soon we landed it. We didnt have much time to celebrate before hooking another Fish around 3 pouns on a Flee Bitty. This continued for 2 hours with one fish after another. Justin had enough on films and wanted in on the action and started casting Flee Bitty's from the bow. He hooked some nice fish himself. We fished maybe 5 hours hooked close to 20 fish fron 15" up to 4.5 pounds. The show will air sometime in April. www.anglerwest.com
