CaliBassin Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 That’s awesome!! Shasta is my home lake. Have yet to catch any true giants there but managed to break one off (9+) on a swimbait just a month or two before your epic day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewbaver Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yeah not sure what the deal is with summer time there both those fish are hungry for sure two summers in a row where I have hooked up beasts. I am getting a huge amount of short strikes in the last couple weeks though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliBassin Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yeah it’s crazy to me how everyone just completely stops fishing shasta around march or April. To me it seems like the fishing is 10x better in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
