Fishing Line: 02/09/12
TOP PICKS
FOLSOM LAKE - Fishing picked up last week, and some anglers managed combined limits of landlocked king salmon and rainbow trout. Fishing was best up the North Fork, and nightcrawlers fished behind dodgers near the surface worked best for trout, while UV Glow Hoochies and GVF Pina Colada Spinners set between 30 and 50 feet did the trick for the kings. Bass are still in their winter funk with anglers working hard for a few bites an outing. Fish deep and slow over outside points, and over concentrations of bait.
SACRAMENTO RIVER, Sacramento - Sturgeon fishing was good from Hood to Verona, with the Fremont Weir, South River Road a few of the better areas. Remember, in sturgeon fishing, "good" only means that the average angler might get one takedown every several outings. But the fish are there. Fish combo baits--e.g. ghostshrimp/pileworms. Striper fishing was slow--even in the Deepwater Channel.
AMERICAN RIVER - There are still quite a few steelhead coming up the river, and quite a few that have been in the river for awhile. The upper stretch between Sunrise Blvd. and Nimbus Dam (be mindful of the "no-fishing" zone around the Hatchery) continued to produce the most fish, and, unlike past weeks, fishing pressure has declined.
COLLINS LAKE - The resort made a large early plant of trophy trout - ranging from 4 to 11 pounds - this past week. Shore anglers and trollers were still picking up limits of the smaller DFG planters. Trollers were doing best on flasher/worm combos at the dam, while the shore anglers did well at the dam and the beach.
DELTA REGION: SACRAMENTO RIVER side - Sherman and Decker islands have been good for sturgeon, as have several areas further up and on just about any bait combination. They seem to be moving into faster waters these days. For stripers, try the Deep Water Channel. Once you find clean, green waters all techniques have been working for fish up to 13 pounds. SAN JOAQUIN RIVER side--The upper Susan and Grizzly Bay areas have been two of several areas producing sturgeon strikes on ghost/grass shrimp combinations, eel or roe depending on where you where but with the Super Bowl Sturgeon Derby going on this past weekend, it was hard to find anyone to tell you where. Striper fishing continued to be slow with the cold water.

Introducing Jet Boat Naples! | Cruise Naples Blog
Something REALLY cool is coming soon to Adventure Naples - A completely new addition to our family and honestly North America: Jet Boat Naples!
We’re launching Jet Boat Naples in early 2012 as an all-new Southwest Florida attraction with The ODIN - the first Jet Boat in the Adventure Naples fleet! You can actually come and see it in person at the Naples Boat Show from January 27 ! We’ll be posting all the details about the boat show shortly, but first, let’s make a few things clear:
We haven’t just built a jet boat; We’ve built a jet boat with some of the most sophisticated engineering and highest quality components in the world. The ODIN, custom made in New Zealand, is a 25-foot, 24-person plus 1 driver jet boat featuring lightweight all-aluminum construction, and two massive GM Vortec V8 engines. The highly sophisticated design, engineered for speed and agility, allows the ODIN to travel at speeds in excess of 50 MPH and perform some very exciting maneuvers! However, the vessel will not travel in excess of 35 MPH due to U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
The most unique aspect of the ODIN, however, is its jet propulsion system - consisting of dual Hamilton Waterjets! The level of quality in our jet propulsion system is very uncommon outside of military applications. They are built to handle A LOT of power - up to 6,500hp to be exact - so rest assured, Jet Boat Naples will offer the best Jet Boat experience around. However, there’s not really anything to compare it to for hundreds of miles!
Believe it or not, all that power and speed doesn’t come at the cost of other important factors like safety. Here are a few facts about jet-propelled watercrafts:
Safety. Jet Boats have NO propellers or rudders - making swimmers, divers, and all Southwest Florida wildlife much safer.
