    Chopaka Intel and local lake report

    Headed to Chopaka on the 18th. Me, my son, and a buddy.... group of 3 in xt pontoons (orange, green, blue). We're usually in the north-half of the lake. Stop by and say hello.

    seeking Info and Chopaka

    Fished last weekend of June. Water is down, but not as much as reported. Mids and blobs. Probably 30 fish in 2 days between the 2 of us. 16-18". Water 65F. Wind blowing north, was pretty good on occasion

    Deep water indicator technique (mine)

    I make a bunch of florocarbon leaders before every season. Two dozen in sizes 20' up to 30' gets me through the season. Equal sections of 12/10/8lb Berkeley Vanish. Perfection loop, and hang marker (bobber stop) included. Grab-n-go. All the "business-end" stuff gets added on the water.

    What's in your vise?

    Certainly not masterpieces, but they get the job done when the bite turns. Firehole 316 #10 w 3mm tungsten beads. Tied with FNF Slush and UV jelly. Last season the two white versions were my top producers. While the floro pink was my buddys go-to.

    Blobs

    This ^^^ Late summer lake. Place was a ghost-town. Probably because the surface temp was near 70F and it was windy. We took off towards the deeper end of the lake, and anchored up in about 40'. Fish were just off the bottom. A double blob rig got my gear down fast. It was basically as soon...

    Blobs

    UV (white) Bleu Cheese! 3mm Tungsten, Firehole Sticks 413 #10. Any smaller and they can get swallowed. This, and bubble gum pink are my go-to colors. Some of my best lake days on these this last season.

    Float tube nets

    ^^^ Love mine. I braided a 4' paracord lanyard with a small carabiner on the end to attach to my 'toon. Great reach with this one. 13" x 19" makes measuring easy
