Reds were at the wall monday had a great time.. We broke off several others they wont touch heavy line.

Those are some good looking Reds. You always catch nice Reds at Calaveris. Congrats on the excelent catch.

Emmett if you wanna go fishing sometime let me know. I live by Dell Diamond. My other 2 buddies live in SA so I hate to drive down there alone. Wont be going for a week or two wife is pissed. Just drop me a line..

I always fish for cats on that lake but would love to catch some reds. I have boat and am willing to take you out to show me the ropes. I live about an hour away. Drop me a line at josephmcgurr@yahoo.com. That or give me some pointers if you would.

Thanks,
Joey.

What do you consider heavy line, we catch them on 20lb berkly and ande mono all the time, and very rarely loose one(I cant remember loosing one in the last 2years), and if we do, the hook coming out is usualy the culprit.

Also I am sure you have heard it before, and you will hear it again, but the fish in that lake are loaded with mercury, and we catch some weird lookin reds and catfish out there. I know this is going to get shot down by so many, but I wouldnt eat anything out of that lake. And if you think that they monitor it and will shut it down when it get too high, you are wrong, they do monitor it, but if they shut it down, then they dont make any more money, so they just arent going to tell you when it gets too high.

Nice Reds!!!! On the wall a...were the bustin' on top and pushin' shad along the banks? What were they hittin on spoons or Tilapia free lined? Haven't been out since a couple of weeks on a night trip and hit some on free lined Tilapia.

Redfishon, I would love to go down there with you. Let me know when you are going next, I would love to get into some of those big Reds.
Thanks for the invite.
Emmett

Redchevy I haved used heavy line and dont get near the amount of hits.. It either slows the shad or tialpia down and looks odd to the fish or they see the line. All I know was using 14lbs and those 2 rods wouldnt get touched. I switched to 8-10lbs on lighter poles and tore them up.

Initially, I was really freaked out at how green your grass was in this pic because I thought ya'll were local (posting about catching at Calaveras), then I had noticed ya'll were from Round Rock. As jealous as I am about those nice looking reds, I think I'm even a bit more jealous about the color of your grass. Nice catch! Steven

Redfishon were you fishing at night or am?

Mid day 11:00 to 4:00pm

LOL... Redfish, you got it down!!!! Tilapia are key!! I have done OK with shad on Calaveras but Tilapia work like a champ. I havent been out in about two years or so, are there still quite a few guys walking down the wall snagging the GIANT tilapia? Awesome catch! I hope I can make it down a time or two within the next year, I will try my best. If I do, I will be sure to hit you up. Were these fish caught on the crappie wall? The crappie wall has always been where I have had my best luck, especially when able to fish the shorelines. When I was young I use to fish the crappie wall every weekend!!! AWESOME and keep up the good work.
