Fishing 101: Techniques & Gear

Don't sweat it if you've never held a rod before – Captain Jesse's got you covered. He'll walk you through the basics of light tackle fishing, which is perfect for the species swimming in Calaveras Lake. You'll learn how to set up your line, bait your hook, and get a feel for different techniques like bottom fishing and drifting. The beauty of this trip is that it's all hands-on – you'll be doing the fishing yourself with top-notch gear provided by Bottom Feederz Fishing. From rods and reels to bait and tackle, everything you need is right there on the boat. Just bring your sense of adventure (and maybe a snack or two).

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are one of the main attractions on Calaveras Lake, and for good reason. These copper-colored beauties put up a heck of a fight, making them a blast to catch for anglers of all skill levels. Redfish in these parts typically range from 20 to 30 inches, with some real bruisers pushing 40 inches or more. They love to hang out near structure and in deeper channels, so Captain Jesse knows just where to find them. Spring and fall are prime times for redfish, but you can hook into them year-round if you know what you're doing (and luckily, your guide does).

Flathead catfish are the other big draw on this trip, and let me tell you, these whisker-faced monsters can grow to impressive sizes. We're talking fish that can top 50 pounds in Calaveras Lake – now that's a photo op! Flatheads are ambush predators, so they like to hide out in underwater structure and wait for their next meal to swim by. They're most active at night, but Captain Jesse knows how to target them during daylight hours too. Summer and early fall are your best bets for landing a trophy flathead, but these fish feed year-round. Just be ready for a serious workout if you hook into a big one!
