RV Lifestyle

Sure , every time a single dealer or a couple of dealers set up in a parking lot and spend a lot of money on advertising their RV Show , they are actually showing RV ’ s . The difference is , they are trying to give the impression of a competitive environment when the truth is they are actually limiting your choices . A REAL RV Show has a third-party promoter that tries to get as many dealers and products as possible , making a truly competitive marketplace where you the consumer has more choices and dealers that must compete for your business .

A REAL RV Show will charge a nominal admission , this is the reason the promoter assembles all the different dealers and offers the seminars etc . And by charging admission and having lots of dealers it spreads out the costs of advertising , insurance , security and rental of the grounds .

At a parking lot show with one or a couple of dealers they have to cover these expenses and there is only ONE way , to charge more for their products . That is why we call it a “ REAL ” RV Show because the competition for your business is Real .

with bass relating to deep water and structure across all the area lakes .

“ At Calero and Anderson , you ’ re looking for rocky points and fishing fairly deep . In the mornings you can always try tossing a squarebill or some type of reaction bait ,” he said .

“ Lots of numbers at Anderson , bigger fish at Calero ,” he added .

Anglers in search of crappie were being sent to Calero . “ Minnows and jigs set deep under a bobber during the mornings and evenings will catch a couple . You can also fish worms for some bluegill ,” he tipped .

“ A couple guys are checking out catfish at Uvas and Chesbro , but we aren ’ t getting many reports . Usually the guys stay quiet anyways .” Dominici related

SHASTA / WHISKEYTOWN LAKE

Downrigger Trollers Prosper

REDDING - Trollers are enjoying very good fishing at both Lake Shasta and Whiskeytown Reservoir .

At Whiskeytown trollers are targeting kokanee in various parts of the lake from 25 to 70 feet deep . Average fish go about 1.5 pounds and the large models pull the scale down to 2 pounds and more .

Orange and pink kokanee lures from Paulina Peak Tackle and Yakima Bait are producing great results . At this point the bite is so good that anglers are limiting while using almost any mainstream kokanee offering in pink or orange colors .

Some folks are running their corn right out of the can , while other are achieving top results by mixing their corn with Pro-Cure Super Gel in the Bloody Tuna flavor .

At Shasta , the rainbows are locked into the thermocline and they are feeding heavily . Anglers dropping shad pattern lures to the 60 foot mark are hooking up to 50 rainbows per day , with top fish stretching measuring tapes to 24 inches .

Fish Sniffer Publisher Paul Kneeland visited Shasta two day ago and enjoyed fantastic action on
