“The fishing has been really good
at Tahoe and I’ve been eating a lot of
mackinaw meat,” exclaimed Russell Blake
of Carson City, Nevada. “Not only are
macks a lot of fun to catch, they are also
really good to eat.”
“I’ve been launching at Cave Rock and
running up to the rocky structure off Cal
Neva Point. Most guys that do well on
Tahoe macks run minnows and dodgers.
I’ve been doing really good with the
same rig, but instead of a natural minnow
I’ve been running 3 inch Gulp! Minnows
threaded on a No. 4 ring eye hook. My
dodger of choice is a 6 inch Gold Star
model in glow white. I’ve been fishing
from 100 to 150 feet deep, so I charge
up the dodger with a little LED flashlight

Blake.
“I’m getting 6 to 10 macks per
trip with the largest fish weighing
upwards of 10 pounds. For
eating I prefer to keep fish in
the 3 to 6 pound class. Mostly
I barbeque the fillets, but I’ve
smoked some of the fillets too
and they are excellent,” added
Blake.

best baits have been shad, pile worms,
sardines and anchovies.
Sturgeon are available for anglers
working deep water areas in Suisun Bay.
The top baits for sturgeon have been roe
and eel, but you might want a selection of
shrimp baits too.
Catfish anglers are experiencing solid
fishing in the evening hours and after
dark while fishing smaller sloughs. Clams
are the bet bait, but worm, anchovies and
